TACO SALAD 
1 lb. ground turkey, uncooked
1/4 c. sliced green onion
1 (8 oz.) can red kidney beans, drained
3/4 c. taco sauce
1/8 tsp. pepper
6 c. shredded lettuce
1 lg. tomato, chopped
3/4 c. shredded Cheddar cheese
Taco sauce or taco salad dressing
Dairy sour cream or plain yogurt
Tortilla chips or corn chips

Use your hands to break up the ground turkey as you put it in a large skillet. Add the green onion, put the skillet on a burner. Turn the burner to medium-high. Cook, stirring with a wooden spoon, until no pink color is left in the turkey.

Place a colander over a bowl. Spoon the turkey mixture into the colander. Let the fat drain into the bowl. Spoon the turkey mixture back into the skillet. Put the fat in a container to throw away. Stir the beans, 3/4 cup taco sauce and pepper into the turkey mixture. Cook until hot.

Place the lettuce in large bowl. Set. Spoon the meat mixture over the lettuce. Top with chopped tomato and Cheddar cheese. Toss with salad utensils to mix all ingredients. Serve immediately. Pass additional taco sauce and the sour cream or yogurt. Serve with tortilla or corn chips. Makes 6 servings.
