I really hope you enjoy this Turkey Taco Salad! If you do get a chance to make this recipe, I’d love to hear from you in the comments. And if you’re looking for more fresh meals, try my 70 Light Summer Dinner Ideas. We like romaine in taco salads, but you can use your favorite crunchy lettuce. Step 5: When all the ingredients are prepped, break up the ground turkey in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Then add your favorite taco seasoning or 2 tbsp of my Homemade Taco Seasoning. Cook stirring to combine, add a bit of water if necessary to distribute the taco seasoning. Step 5: Serve everything family style so each person can assemble their own salad. Or you can toss the ingredients in a bowl with the hot turkey taco meat and salad dressing before serving. I think taco salads are at their best when you toss the meat together with the salad while the meat is still hot/warm. However, it does mean any leftovers will be soggier because the meat will wilt the lettuce a bit.
