"One serving only calls for 1/2 cup of ground turkey/taco mix; but I fry up one pound and add 1 pkg of taco mix and freeze the leftovers for future use. 5 points per serving"

This is a great idea! We had this for our dinner tonight and I froze the leftover meat mixture so that I can have taco salads for my lunch. Thanks for posting this Claudia! Made for Fall 2009 PAC. -
This is how I always make my taco salads. It's perfect! The only thing that I add is sliced black olives...totally yummy!! Thanks for posting! -
This was so easy and awesome! I added a can of corn drained, a can of black beans drained and a can of diced tomato to the turkey mixture and it made it even better. I also crunched up a small amount of taco chips and threw them in there. It makes it a little higher in calories but if you used the baked ones you shouldn't be too bad, plus you are getting a lot of fiber from the beans and corn that I added. Thanks so much for the recipe! -
I loved idea of the salsa & sour cream mixed into the meat filling. I used 2 oz lean ground turkey, sauted with some minced onion & garlic. After using homemade taco seasoning, I added 2 tbsp hot salsa with 1 1/2 tsp fat free sour cream. To jazz it up, I diced some zucchini, sauted it & added it to the meat mix. I also threw in some cumin & chili powder-but I like things nice & spicy! I left out the tomatoes since the salsa was good enough for me. I used a whole wheat tortilla, added a layer of fat free refried beans, along with the lettuce & used low fat mexican cheese. I couldn't even taste the zucchini & had a delicious flavor to boot! Thank you very much for sharing this.

This was a simple and very delicious salad. I used Recipe #121415 for my taco seasoning and I used those store brought taco salad shells. I was in such a hurry to dig into this that I forgot to add cheese but I promise next time I will :) Thanks so much for sharing your recipe.

<p>I live in Northern Indiana with my husband of 37 years and best friend, Evan. Due to unfortunate circumstances and God's grace, we are raising our two beautiful grandchildren from our daughter, Chris, who lost her battle with breast cancer after a hard, four year battle. It is a responsibility that I do not take lightly. God has blessed us with these kids and it is an honor to be able to raise them. That's not to say, it's easy. Organization is the key. We do lots of meal planning and advance preparation. <br /><br />Evan & I enjoy eating out at fine restaurants and then trying to re-create gourmet meals at home. Unfortunately (?) we are such good cooks that we are usually disappointed when eating out because we know that what we prepare tastes better (and less expensive). Therefore, we usually only order something that we haven't made at home. <br /><br />We love to cook together and spend many hours cooking for family and friends. Quite honestly, Evan is the better cook in the family. He has a knack for knowing what flavors and spices blend well together and has created many original creations. <br /><br />I love to find and try out new recipes - which is why I visit Recipezaar often. We've added many of your shared recipes to my public cookbook titled Permanent Edition. I only post recipes that are our favorites and feel that others will enjoy them. I look for ease of preparation AND outstanding flavor. If I post a recipe that's a little more work, it's because the end result deserves the extra effort. <br /><br />If we had a month off with no work, no responsibilities, and no financial issues; we'd spent time on the ocean in Oregon. My husband grew up in Seattle and spent summers at Cannon Beach (Oregon). I've only been there twice but absolutely love the area. <br /><br /><img src=http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j166/ZaarNicksMom/Animation6.gif alt= /> <br /><br /><img src=http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j166/ZaarNicksMom/PACsticker-Adopted.jpg alt= /> <br /><br /><img src=http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y227/vjuhl/MEPcookathon.jpg alt= /> <br /><br /><br /><img src=http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/Permanent%20Collection/PACSpring09Participation.jpg alt= /> <br /><br /><br /><img src=http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/Permanent%20Collection/PACSpring09Iwasadopted.jpg alt= /> <br /><br /><img alt= /><br />src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/PACfall08partic.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket> <br /><br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/IWasAdoptedfall08.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /> <br /><br /><br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/PAC08Main.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /> <br /><br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/adoptedspring08.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /> <br /><br /><img src=http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r317/j_welcome/pics2/food/PRMRcopy.jpg alt= /></p>
