I just tried this recipe and it was definitely a good, healthy alternative. I was very surprised at how well I liked it. I did add about a cup of extra salsa as it looked to dry and also added steamed corn for some extra color and flavor. I will make this again.

Loved the spices and added salsa to the meat portion of this recipe! I did skip the beans added to the meat, just personal preference. I added a few more goodies to the salad, avocado, cheddar cheese, tomatoes, olives and tortilla chips. I dressed with Dorothy Lynch dressing from this site, delicious! Thanks for sharing your recipe.

Unfortunately, I had to make this recipe without the carrots and bell peppers because I didn't have any. Otherwise, I made the recipe as stated and must say it came out delicious! All of the dry seasonings, along with the onion and garlic, are what you would typically find in taco seasoning. I thought the dish might need some salt, but found it was perfect without adding any. I added low fat shredded cheese to my serving and used a little La Victoria Red Taco Sauce as a dressing. Thanks for sharing!

This was pretty good. My husband said it needed more of a "kick". I was worried it was going to be too spicy, but it wasn't. I was using it for tacos instead of a salad, so I didn't do the lettuce or carrots. I sauteed bell peppers with the onion before adding the turkey. I didn't add the garlic (I used 4 cloves) until the turkey was almost browned. Instead of salsa, I did 1/4 cup tomato paste, 1/4 cup chopped tomatoes, 1/2 cup water and 1 Tbl. Apple Cider Vinegar. It was pretty bland until I added some sea salt to bring out the flavors. I enjoyed it and my kids loved it! Next time I may add a little more cayenne to spice things up a bit. I did use 1 1/2 lbs. of ground turkey which may have spread out the flavor a bit. Maybe it would have been spicy enough had I only used 1 lb.

Just so-so. Husband made it "non-low-calorie" by adding sour cream and tortilla chips :) (Made it taste better, too!)

We had to add a bit to this but in the end we all loved it. It will be another favorite in our home.

These were fantastic!! They are kind of spicy, though, so if you don't like spicy food you should be careful of how much chili powder and pepper you add. I made a few adjustments just because of what I had in the kitchen and personal preference. Firstly, I used two cups of salsa instead of one because the meat mixture was too dry for my taste. I used black beans instead of kidney beans, black pepper instead of cayenne pepper and a bag salad mix while some ate it on soft taco shells. I will definitely make this again!
