# Step-by-step guide:
01 - Rinse the lettuce, separate individual leaves, pat dry, and set aside on a tray lined with paper towels.
02 - Warm a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil, then sauté the diced onion for 2 to 3 minutes until softened; add the minced garlic and cook 30 seconds until fragrant.
03 - Add the ground turkey to the skillet and cook, breaking it up with a spatula, until no longer pink, about 5 to 6 minutes.
04 - Sprinkle in the chili powder, ground cumin, smoked paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper; stir and cook for 1 to 2 minutes to bloom the spices.
05 - Stir in the tomato sauce and water, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for 3 to 4 minutes until the mixture is slightly thickened and cohesive.
06 - Spoon a portion of the turkey mixture into each lettuce leaf and top with diced tomatoes, shredded cheddar (if using), red onion, diced avocado, and cilantro.
07 - Arrange the filled leaves on a platter and serve immediately with lime wedges for squeezing over the filling.
