WRAPS:

16 large romaine leaves

2 avocados, peeled, pitted, and mashed

2 cups baby spinach

2 cups watercress

1 lime, cut into wedges

PREPARE THE SPICED TURKEY:

Heat the oil in a wok or large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté the onions, garlic, and ginger, stirring constantly, until aromatic and softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the carrots, cayenne, coriander, turmeric, and cinnamon. Season to taste with salt and pepper and mix well. After a minute add the turkey, using a fork or wooden spoon to crumble it into separate pieces. Gently stir the mixture together until
the turkey is browned and cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes. Pour in the chicken broth and stir, scraping the bottom of the pan to release any tasty browned bits. Turn off the heat and fold in the cilantro. Transfer the turkey mixture to a small bowl.

ASSEMBLE THE DISH:

Lay the romaine leaves out on a plate and spread a heaping teaspoon of the mashed avocado on each leaf. Add some spinach and watercress to each wrap. Top with small piles of the spiced turkey and roll up. Serve with the lime wedges on the side.
