Turkey Taco Salad



Ingredients:
7 oz of 99% fat free lean ground turkey - it will equal about 5.25 oz (3/4 lean)
2 tsp low sodium taco seasoning - i recommend Old El Paso brand (3 condiments)
2 TBSP water
2 cups chopped lettuce (2 green)
.5 cups chopped tomatoes (1 green)
1 oz or .25 cup 2% reduced fat Mexican Cheese (1/4 lean)
2 TBSP Hidden Valley Light Ranch Dressing (1 healthy fat)

Directions:
I browned the ground turkey in a skillet. There isn't really a need to drain the fat because the higher the percentage is, the less fat that there is left over. I mixed the taco seasoning and the water in a bowl to mix it fully. Then add the seasoning mix to the turkey in the pan and let it simmer uncovered for about 5 minutes. Using a plate (I definitely recommend a plate over a bowl), I layered the lettuce and then the tomatoes. I scattered the meat over the lettuce and sprinkled the cheese on top. Then I added the salad dressing

Serving: 1 complete meal of 3 greens, 1 lean, 1 healthy fat, and 3 condiments
