Turkey Taco Salad
INGREDIENTS:
Nonstick olive oil cooking spray
12 ounces uncooked ground turkey
1 (15 ounce) can pinto beans, rinsed and drained (optional)
1 cup frozen whole kernel corn
1 cup bottled salsa
1/4 cup water
5 cups shredded lettuce
1/4 cup shredded reduced-fat Cheddar cheese
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DIRECTIONS:
Lightly coat a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray. Heat over medium heat. Cook ground turkey in hot skillet about 5 minutes or until no longer pink. Drain off any fat. Stir in beans (if desired), corn, salsa, and water. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, covered, for 2 to 3 minutes to blend flavors.
Line 4 salad bowls or plates with lettuce. Top with hot turkey mixture. Sprinkle with cheese. Serve immediately.
Thanks. It sounds great! I have been looking for recipes that I can cook for just my husband and myself that are high in protein and something I would enjoy. This sounds like the perfect meal. Have you ever tried a Bart's Chili? It is basically a salad with chili on top. It used to be on the Waffle House menu. My husband loves it and so I tried it at home. Since I become full so quickly I didn't have the salad part -- just the chili. It worked out perfectly. I believe this taco salad will be something else along that line to try. Thanks again.
