Ground Turkey Taco Bowls

Ground turkey is often overlooked as bland or unappetizing, but in this turkey bowl recipe, it's the perfect way to make tacos tasty and lower in calories and fat.  Lean turkey (99% fat-free) is often a zero-point food with WW.  That means it is a great protein to build a meal around.  In this instance, it's a perfect choice that is versatile and filled with flavor. 

How Can I Customize My Turkey Bowls? 

The base of this recipe is the ground turkey mixture.  That means you can easily customize it with your own preferences for flavor and texture.  Below are some ideas that work great with turkey taco bowls, but you will want to make sure you count the extra points if needed for your own unique plan. 

• Use low-point tortillas you have air-fried into chips instead of regular tortilla chips. 
• Top with sour cream or plain Greek yogurt. 
• Add sliced avocado or guacamole. 
• Serve with green onions, black olives, or jalapeno slices. 
• Replace the ground turkey with ground chicken, pinto beans, or black beans.  
• Layer with refried beans for added protein.

How to Make a Ground Turkey Taco Bowl

In a large skillet, brown ground turkey over medium heat.  This usually takes 7-8 minutes.  I use a nonstick skillet so I don't have to use additional oil.

Add in ½ bell pepper, salsa, and seasonings to ground turkey.  Cook for additional 5 minutes.

Remove from heat.

Layer in a bowl: crushed tortilla chips, meat mixture, lettuce, tomato, raw bell pepper, cheese, and any additional toppings as preferred.
