Taco salad. So easy to make in such a short amount of time. I tend to make mine heavy on the lettuce, light on the toppings, and hot spicy ground turkey. None-the-less, this is a great recipe to use for a group of 2 to a group of 10!

Directions:
Heat a large skillet/pan over medium high heat. Add ground turkey, and cook until browned.
Stir in the seasoning, chicken broth, and water. Once the mixture comes to a boil, reduce to a simmer. Allow to cook uncovered for an additional 5 minutes.
