ingredients

• 1 lb ground turkey, browned

• 16 ounces salsa

directions

1. Mix all ingredients together.

Yum, yum, yum. And very filling! Ready for this twist??? I used Morningstar Veggie/Burger crumbles instead of ground beef resulting in an amazing vegetarian taco salad. I did add a 1/2 pack of taco seasoning and instead of a can of Rotel I used 1 can of petite diced tomatoes and 1 small can of chopped green chilis. Served ours over iceberg lettuce, but it definitely would be good over rice or nacho chips. Would most certainly make this again. UPDATE: This recipe freezes awesome - holds up perfectly! We love it atop a salad of lettuce and carrots tossed in a TINY amt of Ranch dressing; I then either use just a little velveeta on the top (if you are using cheese, make sure you maximize the fat calories with a BOLD flavored cheese) or sometimes diced avocado. Always top it off with sliced green onions and fresh chopped tomatoes.

This was so good and filling! I served it on a bed of lettuce and had fat free cheese,fat free sour cream and black olives. The only thing that "happened" was that I was out of canned corn! It was excellent without it though. Thanks so much for posting!! :)
