Notes

Storage: Store the turkey filling separately in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Keep lettuce leaves unwashed in a separate container to prevent wilting.

Reheating: Warm the turkey filling in a skillet over medium heat for a few minutes or microwave in 30-second intervals until heated through.
