Caribbean Turkey Wraps

1 1/4 lb lean ground turkey
3 tbsp minced parsley
2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tbsp Caribbean jerk seasoning
salt & pepper
1 tsp olive oil (Maybe, see step #1)
1/2 cup mayonnaise
Tortilla wraps
Shredded cheese
Lettuce
Diced tomato
3 tbsp chopped green onion
Diced mango or apple
Hot sauce (optional)


Cook turkey over medium heat. You may or may not need to put olive oil in the pan first, because ground turkey is drier than some other meats.













Add parsley, Worcestershire, salt and pepper, jerk seasoning, and green onion (which I omitted, stupid Anthony).
Cook turkey thoroughly and until the liquid is absorbed.











While the meat is cooking, chop up a tomato, mango or apple, shred some cheese, chop or rip up lettuce if you'd like, get everything ready for the wrapping.
When the turkey is done, mix it up with some mayo.











Layer it up and wrap away. This is the part I make Anthony do; I suck at wrapping.













You can also make burgers out of these by changing the recipe slightly:
Mix together turkey, salt, pepper, Worcestershire, green onion, parsley, Jerk seasoning as well as one egg and 1/2 cup breadcrumbs, then make into patties.
You can add sweet red pepper rings, mango slices and lettuce leaves to your burgers. It makes about 4 thick ones.
