Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 227 grams Ground turkey (lean, 93% lean or higher)
- 6 cups Romaine lettuce
- 1 cup Black beans (drained and rinsed)
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes (halved)
- 1 cup Corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned, drained)
- 0.5 whole Avocado (diced)
- 0.25 cup Red onion (finely chopped)
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro (chopped)
- 1 tablespoon Low-sodium taco seasoning
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 0.25 cup Greek yogurt (non-fat)
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice (freshly squeezed)
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Pepper
Instructions
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Add the ground turkey to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and fully cooked.
Sprinkle the taco seasoning over the turkey and stir to evenly coat the meat. Cook for another 1-2 minutes, then remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
In a large serving bowl, add the romaine lettuce as the base layer.
Top the lettuce with black beans, cherry tomatoes, corn kernels, diced avocado, chopped red onion, and cooked ground turkey.
In a small bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, lime juice, salt, and pepper to create the dressing.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and gently toss to combine all the ingredients evenly.
Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve immediately.
