Tacos, burritos, cheese dip, guacamole, salsa etc. are foods I frequently crave. And when the craving hits, not much can tame it. It rears its ugly head, demanding it be cured ASAP. I don't know about you, but my cravings are for foods that typically aren't considered "health foods" if you know what I mean. Thank goodness for taco salad! It has bold flavors that really speak to my craving, making my tummy so happy. Plus, it is absolutely healthier than your usual Mexican restaurant fare. I'd say that is a win-win situation right there!
When you add spinach to the skillet, you'll want it to cook down a bit {see above picture}
If you're not a fan of greek yogurt (or sour cream), it is still delicious without it!
Other topping options include shredded cheese, corn, tortialls chips and French salad dressing.

Method
1. Heat a large skillet on the stovetop over medium to
medium-high heat. Add your turkey to the skillet and cook completely, until no
longer pink. Drain excess fat from the turkey and set aside. Return skillet to
stovetop.
2. Heat olive oil in the skillet then add in the onion and
red bell pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 6 minutes or until
softened.
3. Add the cooked turkey and remainder of the ingredients to
the skillet with the onion and red bell pepper. Stir to combine.
4. Reduce heat to low and cook mixture for another 6-8
minutes, or until spinach has cooked down.
5. Serve taco meat with your favorite sides. I personally
like lettuce, greek yogurt, black beans, diced tomatoes, diced avocado, and
lime juice.
