# Instructions:
01 -
Combine 1/2 cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt, 2 tbsp fresh dill, 1 tbsp fresh chives, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/4 tsp onion powder, 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice, and 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil in a bowl. Whisk until smooth. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. This forms the zesty ranch drizzle for your Healthy Chicken Turkey Ham Ranch Lettuce Wraps.
02 -
In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 lb cooked chicken breast (shredded or finely diced) and 4 oz low-sodium turkey ham (finely diced). Add 1/2 cup finely diced celery, 1/2 cup finely diced red bell pepper, and 1/4 cup finely minced red onion. These are your crunchy garden gems.
03 -
Pour the prepared Zesty Ranch Drizzle over the chicken, turkey ham, and vegetable mixture. Gently fold all ingredients together until thoroughly combined. Ensure the dressing evenly coats all components for your Healthy Chicken Turkey Ham Ranch Lettuce Wraps, creating a cohesive filling.
04 -
Taste the filling and adjust salt and black pepper as needed. For optimal flavor, cover the mixture and chill in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. This enhances the taste of your Healthy Chicken Turkey Ham Ranch Lettuce Wraps.
05 -
Gently wash and pat dry the 12 large butter lettuce leaves (Crisp Green Embrace). Carefully separate the leaves, ensuring they remain intact to form sturdy cups for holding the filling. Arrange them neatly on a serving platter, ready for assembly.
06 -
Spoon approximately 1/4 cup of the chilled chicken and turkey ham mixture into the center of each prepared butter lettuce leaf. Arrange the filled wraps on your platter. Enjoy these delicious Healthy Chicken Turkey Ham Ranch Lettuce Wraps immediately for a refreshing meal.
# Notes:
01 -
For a vegetarian option, substitute the chicken and turkey ham with canned chickpeas or white beans, mashed, and seasoned.
02 -
Store leftover filling in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Assemble wraps just before serving to maintain lettuce crispness.
03 -
Add a sprinkle of toasted slivered almonds or sunflower seeds to the filling for an extra layer of crunch and healthy fats.
04 -
This filling is also fantastic served in whole wheat pitas or as a salad topping if you're out of lettuce leaves.
