FOOD: Healthy AND Easy Turkey Taco Salad

Sunday night ended up being a feast: goat cheese and sundried tomato stuffed chicken, whole wheat pasta, red pepper broccoli, garlic bread and a delicious sun dried tomato white sauce to top it all off. It was a hearty, delicious meal. But, it left me feeling a little heavy and sluggish Monday morning.

So, on Monday night after the gym, when I had a ton of leaft over pasta and sauce (but didn't want to eat it because I wanted something light and healthy), I decided to make a turkey taco salad. I should say Scoot and I decided to make a turkey taco salad, because he did half the work.

Ingredients:
-Romaine Lettuce
-Cherry Tomatoes
-Onions
-Black Beans
-Corn
-Avocado
-Reduced Fat Cheddar Cheese
-99% Fat Free Ground Turkey
-Taco Seasoning (30% less sodium)
-Non Fat Sour Cream
-Salsa

It's pretty self explanatory. Fill two bowls with lettuce, add tomatoes, onions, beans and corn. Cook ground turkey and add water and taco seasoning. Add meat to the salad and top with salsa, reduced fat cheese, non-fat sour cream and a few sliced avocados. If you want to add a dressing, leave a little bit of the taco seasoning and mix with non-fat ranch for a mexi-ranch taste.

This salad has barely any fat and is delicious! After Scoot was done, he filled his bowl with corn chips, threw on the leftover meat and cheese and voila - nachos for dessert!
