Ingredients

• 8 large collard green leaves (about 1 bunch)

• Kosher salt, to taste
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tbsp chili powder
• 1 tsp cumin seed
• 1/2 tsp crushed coriander seed
• 1 lb ground turkey
• 1/2 yellow onion, diced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 red bell pepper, diced
• 1/2 cup fire roasted tomatoes, drained
• 1 can pinto beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 avocado, sliced
• 1 cup cilantro leaves
• pico de gallo, for serving
• Greek yogurt, for serving
• lime wedges, for serving

Directions

1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil and season generously with salt.

2. Remove the stems of the collards up to the leafy part.

3. Fill a bowl with ice water and season that with salt.

4. Place the collard leaves into the boiling water for about 45 seconds and then place into
the ice bath. Once cool, place onto a kitchen towel and drain completely.

5. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Add the spices and stir
constantly until they begin to foam. Add in the turkey and break up with a wooden spoon.
Season with salt and reduce the heat to medium.
6. Cook through, about 6 to 8 minutes. Add the onions, garlic, and red pepper and cook for
an additional 3 minutes to 4 minutes. Stir in the fire roasted tomatoes and cook for an
additional 5 minutes.

7. Place the beans into a small bowl and toss with pico de gallo.

8. To assemble lay two collard green leaves onto a cutting board, slightly overlapped so
you get about a 10-inch burrito shell. Place a line of the turkey mixture and a line of the
bean mixture onto the collard leaf. Then top with sliced avocado and cilantro leaves. Roll
the burrito by folding the sides over the filling and then rolling the bottom up to the top.
Slice in half and serve with Greek yogurt, extra pico de gallo, and limes. Repeat with the
remaining ingredients to make four burritos.
