Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup prepared salsa
  • 1/4 cup reduced-fat sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon canola oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 pound 93%-lean ground turkey
  • 2 large plum tomatoes, diced
  • 1 14-ounce can kidney beans, rinsed
  • 2 teaspoons cumin
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 8 cups shredded romaine lettuce
  • 1/2 cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese

Cooking Instructions

1. Combine salsa and sour cream in a large bowl.

2. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and cook, stirring often, until softened, about 2 minutes. Add turkey and cook, stirring often and crumbling with a wooden spoon, until cooked through, about 5 minutes. Add tomatoes, beans, cumin and chili powder; cook, stirring, until the tomatoes begin to break down, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat, stir in cilantro and 1/4 cup of the salsa mixture.

3. Add lettuce to the remaining salsa mixture in the bowl; toss to coat. To serve, divide the lettuce among 4 plates, top with the turkey mixture and sprinkle with cheese.

    Depending on the type of salsa you use, this salad will vary in heat. To please everyone, make it mild and put a bottle of your favorite hot sauce on the table. Make it a meal: Baked corn tortilla chips or cheese quesadillas and lime wedges are natural accompaniments.
