- 1 can chickpeas (aka garbanzo beans)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tsp minced garlic
- ΒΌ sweet onion, sliced thin
- 14 crushed almonds
- 1 package all natural 99% fat free ground turkey breast
- 4 tsp Sriracha
- 3 tbsp natural creamy peanut butter

Rinse lid of chickpeas. Open with can opener & drain liquid (can use strainer). Pour water into can of chickpeas & rinse again (this eliminates much of the unnecessary sodium).
Pour olive oil into saute pan & turn heat to medium high. Slice onions & mince garlic. Add to oil. Cook until onions are translucent about 5-6 minutes. Add turkey to saute pan. Using spatula, mix turkey in with ingredients already in the pan.
Let cook until completely white & cooked through. Add chickpeas to mixture & cook an additional 1-2 minutes.
Crush almonds. Remove saute pan from heat & stir in almonds.
Place Sriracha & peanut butter in large Ziploc bag. Add turkey mixture to bag as well. Seal tightly & shake until mixture is coated with sauces.
Clean lettuce & place mixture inside center of lettuce. Enjoy!
