Turkey Taco Lettuce Wraps
How many of you are excited for the big game on Sunday? If you know me, you know I am a New England Girl (despite hating the cold) and super excited to be back in the Super Bowl this year, GO PATS!
With the big game means lots of GRUB and finger foods. It does not mean you have to wreck your nutrition by loading up on crap. I highly encourage higher protein foods and veggies of course. So this one pairs both of those together!
This is taken from the Fixate Cooking Show that everyone with a BOD membership gets access to.
