Lunch: Turkey Taco Salad

You can substitute ground beef for the ground turkey. To make a vegetarian salad, leave out the meat and add your favorite canned beans in step two instead.

Ingredients

4 tbsp. olive oil
1 small onion
1 lb. ground turkey
1 small zucchini
1 red bell pepper
1 1/2 c. prepared green salsa
Coarse salt
ground pepper
2 head Boston lettuce
1 1/2 c. crushed tortilla chips
1 c. cherry tomatoes
1 c. Shredded cheese

Instructions

Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion, and cook, stirring often, until translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Add turkey; cook, stirring often, until starting to brown, 5 to 7 minutes.
Add zucchini, bell pepper, and 1 cup salsa; cook until vegetables are crisp-tender, 5 to 6 minutes. Season with salt and ground pepper. Transfer to a plate, and let cool.
In a large bowl, toss lettuce with tortilla chips, tomatoes, and remaining 1/2 cup salsa and 2 tablespoons oil. Transfer to serving plates, and top with turkey mixture and cheese. Looking for more dinner options? Check out our pork chop recipes, chicken recipes, and potato recipes.
