Support Natural Appetite Control — Discover GLP-1 PlusA low-carb lunch built on the two things that quiet hunger longest: lean protein and healthy fat. Crisp lettuce stands in for wraps, keeping the plate light while the turkey, avocado, and yogurt sauce do the filling work.

Kitchen Preparation Science
- Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the turkey, garlic powder, cumin, and black pepper. Cook for 6–8 minutes, breaking the meat apart, until browned and cooked through.
- Stir the lime juice into the Greek yogurt to make a quick crema.
- Fill each lettuce leaf with the seasoned turkey, cucumber, carrot, and avocado. Drizzle with the yogurt crema and serve.
Kitchen science: Lettuce wraps deliver the same hand-held satisfaction as a tortilla with a fraction of the carbs — and pairing the turkey with the yogurt crema’s protein and the avocado’s fat is what keeps this lunch holding until dinner without a snack detour.
Allergens: Contains dairy (yogurt).
Swerve/Alternative Option: Swap the turkey for 6 oz (170 g) of crumbled tempeh, or replace the yogurt crema with a mashed avocado-lime sauce for a dairy-free version.
