Turkey Taco Bowls





1 medium red onion, chopped (1 cup)
1 tbsp. chopped garlic
1 jalapeno pepper, stemmed, seeded and minced
1 1/2 tbsp. chili powder
1 tsp. ground cumin

3/4 cup canned petite diced tomatoes, drained
3/4 pound extra lean ground turkey
1/3 cup reduced sodium chicken broth





Toppings
Beans, heated through
Shredded iceberg lettuce
Sliced black olives

Avocado, diced
Shredded Mexican Blend cheese 

Sour cream
Salsa


Drizzle olive oil in a large saute pan and heat over medium heat.  Add the onions, garlic, jalapeno, and season with salt. Cook stirring occasionally until tender, about 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes and continue to cook,  2 minutes. Stir in the turkey, broth ad spices and adjust the heat so the mixture simmers and cook until the turkey is cooked through and the mixture thickens but is not dry, about 8 minutes. 

Assemble taco bowls:  spread beans on the bottom, top with a small amount of cheese, add lettuce and cover with the turkey meat and top with avocado, olives, salsa, cheese and sour cream. 

Enjoy!
