- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Fresh ground turkey and crisp lettuce are essential. - Don't overcook the turkey. It should be cooked until it is no longer pink in the center, but not dry. - Use a variety of toppings to add flavor and texture to the wraps. Some good options include shredded cheese, diced avocado, chopped tomatoes, and crumbled bacon. - Serve the wraps immediately after assembling. This will prevent the lettuce from wilting.

With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious and satisfying meal that the whole family will enjoy.
