Add your own personal touch to this Tex-Mex fave by adding chopped onion or black beans to the turkey mixture.

Ingredients

Cooking spray

4 spray(s)

Uncooked 99% lean ground turkey

1 pound(s)

Reduced sodium taco seasoning

1 oz

Romaine lettuce

1 medium head(s), thinly sliced

Grape tomatoes

2 cup(s)

Sweet mini peppers

12 item(s), thinly sliced (or 1 large bell pepper)

Salsa

½ cup(s), red or green variety

Reduced fat cheddar cheese

½ cup(s), shredded

Pickled jalapeño peppers

cup(s), chopped

Tortilla chips

12 chip(s), slightly crushed

Instructions

  1. Coat a 10-inch nonstick skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium-high. Add the turkey and cook until no longer pink, stirring and breaking up meat with a wooden spoon, about 3 to 4 minutes.
  2. Stir in 2/3 cup water and taco seasoning, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to simmer and cook until cooked through, stirring occasionally, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat and cool slightly.
  3. Place lettuce in a large serving bowl and top with turkey mixture. Add tomatoes, mini peppers, salsa, cheese, and jalapeños. Toss to combine. Divide amongst 4 shallow bowls. Gently stir in chips.
  4. Serving size: 1/4th of salad (about 3 cups)

Notes

Swap in regular taco seasoning for the reduced-sodium, if you prefer.
