Heat 2 T. olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat; add turkey; season with salt and pepper. Cook, breaking up turkey until cooked through, about 6 minutes. Transfer to a plate or bowl.
Add remaining 1 t. olive oil, onion and garlic to the skillet; reduce heat to medium-low; cook, stirring, until tender, about 8 minutes. Add chili powder, turkey and 1 c. water; increase heat to medium-high; cook until most of the water is evaporated, 4 - 5 minutes.
Add corn and beans; cook until heated through and no liquid remains, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
Spoon turkey filling on the lettuce leaves.
Serve topped with pico de gallo, queso fresco, avocado and cilantro, if desired and lime wedges.
