This is my health-oriented twist to my Aunt Linda’s recipe. Lentils add fiber and protein without fat and without compromising the taste! For additional texture, sprinkle in some crushed corn chips.
Ingredients
- ½ cup dry lentils
- 1 cup water
- ½ pound ground turkey
- 1 (1.25 ounce) package taco seasoning mix
- 1 head iceberg lettuce, chopped
- 1 avocado – peeled, pitted and diced
- 1 tomato, diced
- 1 (15 ounce) can pitted black olives, chopped
- 1 (15 ounce) can kidney beans, drained and rinsed
- 1/3 cup Catalina salad dressing
Directions
Step 1
Place lentils and water in a pot. Bring water to boil, reduce to simmer. Cook for 30 minutes or until tender.
Step 2
Cook the turkey in a skillet over medium heat until no longer pink, 8 to 12 minutes. Stir the cooked lentils, 1 cup of water, and the taco seasoning mix into the turkey. Bring mixture to a boil; reduce heat to low and simmer until liquid is nearly gone, about 5 minutes.
Step 3
Combine the lettuce, avocado, tomatoes, olives, kidney beans, lentil-and-turkey mixture, and Catalina dressing in a large bowl and toss until combined.
