MY GROUND TURKEY, BLACK BEANS, CAPERS, STUFFED LEAF LETTUCE with MY ORZOTTO and PESTO

I feel this dish is so pretty to look at and eat. It’s also healthy and easy to make. Ground turkey usually takes a back seat to chicken for whatever reasons. One being that it is tasteless. However, food taste based on what you add to it. Therefore, add complex and mixed flavors to your meats. Salt and pepper is no longer it. Smile.
