Turkey Taco Salad
Serves 4
Hands-On Time: 20m Total Time: 25m
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound ground turkey
kosher salt and pepper
1 16-ounce container store-bought refigerated fresh salsa
2 tablespoons sour cream
1 head romaine lettuce, cut into pieces (about 8 cups)
1/2 9-ounce bag tortilla chips
1 15.5-ounce can pinto beans, rinsed
1 avocado, diced
1 cup grated Cheddar
1 6-ounce can sliced black olives (optional)

Directions
  1. Heat the oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the turkey and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Cook, breaking up with a spoon, until no longer pink, 5 to 6 minutes. Pour off any excess liquid. Stir in half the salsa and cook until heated through, about 1 minute.
  2. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the remaining salsa and sour cream.
  3. Divide the lettuce, chips, turkey mixture, beans, avocado, Cheddar, and olives (if using) among bowls. Serve with the salsa-and–sour-cream dressing.
