1) In a non-stick pan, heat olive oil in heavy frying pan then add minced garlic and diced green chiles and sauté about 1 minute. Add cumin and seasoning and cook about 1 minute more.

2) Then add turkey and salt and cook over medium-high heat, breaking apart with the back of the turner as it cooks. Cook about 5 minutes, or until turkey is starting to brown.

3) While turkey cooks, thinly chop green onions and set aside. Then wash cilantro, spin dry or dry with paper towels, and finely chop cilantro. Cut off root end of lettuce, discard tough outer leaves, and wash lettuce and spin dry in salad spinner or dry with paper towels.

4) When turkey is lightly browned, add sliced green onions and cook about 2 minutes. Turn off heat, then stir in 1 cup chopped cilantro and 2 T lime juice.

5) Use the inner, more folded part of the lettuce leaves to make the lettuce shell/wrap. Spoon 2 to 3 large spoonfuls of turkey mixture into each piece of lettuce. Top meat mixture with salsa and avocado slices.
