TURKEY TACO SALAD

Category: Salads - Poultry

1 t. cooking oil
1 large onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/2 lbs. ground skinless turkey breast (I mixed of light and dark ground turkey)
1 packet of taco seasoning mix
1 t. adobo chili powder
1/2 c. water
1 c. black beans, rinsed and drained
1 c. frozen corn, thawed
1/4 c. chopped cilantro

Mixed greens (I used green leaf and red leaf)
Julienned red onion, chopped tomato, sliced avocado and black olives
Shredded reduced fat Mexican Cheese blend
Baked tortilla chips (for the salads) and a box of taco shells (for the kid)

Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Swirl in the oil, then add the onion and garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, until golden, 7-10 minutes. Add the turkey and seasoning mix. Cook, breaking up the turkey with a wooden spoon, until browned, about 8 minutes. Stir in the water and cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until the water has evaporated, about 3 minutes longer. Stir in the black beans, corn, and cilantro; heat through. Remove from the heat and set aside.

Place a generous bed of greens on your dinner plates. Top with the turkey mixture and desired vegetables. Garnish with baked tortilla strips. Serves: 4-6
