WW Warm Turkey taco salad                                            Instructions

    Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. When oil shimmers, add turkey, onion and garlic: cook, breaking up meat with a wooden spoon, until meat is no longer pink and onion begins to soften, 3-5 minutes. Add chili powder, ground cumin, salt, chipotle pepper and crushed tomatoes; simmer, stirring occasionally, until turkey is fully cooked and sauce thickens, 8-10 minutes. Stir in 1 Tbsp lime juice and sugar; remove from heat.

    While taco filling simmers, combine cooked rice, cilantro, lime zest and remaining 1/2 Tbsp lime juice in a small bowl.

    To serve, place 1 c lettuce on a plate and top with 3/4 c turkey mixture, 1/4 c rice,1/4 c tomatoes and 1 Tbsp salsa; garnish with scallion and cilantro.

    Serving size: 1 salad
