Turkey Tacos with Zesty Lime Salad

First off I will now tell you that I am NOW a believer in ground turkey. I have only used it one other time and I think we ordered pizza because it was not that great. The tacos I made tonight were by far the BEST tacos I have ever had.

Ingredients:
Ground turkey
Taco shells
1/2 head Purple cabbage chopped
1/2 head Lettuce chopped
Medium avocado diced
Medium tomato diced
1/2 purple onion diced
Fresh cilantro
1 large lime
1 TBS olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Chili powder (salt free)
Cumin
Garlic powder
Dried oregano

Directions:

Make your own taco seasoning- This is a great HEALTHY alternative to the packets you get at the store that are packed full of sodium.

in a air tight container or jar mix 1/4 salt free chili powder, 1 TBS cumin, 1 TBS Oregano, and 1 TBS garlic powder and mix well.



Brown ground turkey and season with Taco seasoning.

In a gallon zip lock mix the lettuce, cabbage, avocado, tomato, onion, and a small amount of cilantro.
Pour in olive oil, juice from lime, and salt and pepper to taste.
Seal bag and shake well to coat.

Serve in the taco shells. The salad with have enough flavor that the extras like cheese and sour cream will not be necessary. Although we still had some :)
