INSTRUCTION:

COOK THE TURKEY MEAT:

Place the large skillet on moderate heat and add the minced turkey meat to the skillet.
We saute the meat till the meat gets brown for 5 to 7 minutes.
Add the taco seasoning mix which includes the onion powder, cumin powder, garlic powder, salt, pepper powder, chili powder, and paprika powder, and mix them with the spatula.
Now we can add ¼ cup of water mix it with the meat.
Cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes or till the liquid gets mostly evaporated then put the skillet on the shelf.

PREPARE THE SALAD INGREDIENTS:

While turkey is cooking we can wash all the salad ingredients and chop them.
We can wash the onions, Romanian lettuce, and avocado with water.
Take the knife and chop all the vegetables finely.

ASSEMBLE & SERVE THE SALAD:

Take a large salad bowl and add the finely chopped vegetables, minced turkey, shredded cheddar cheese, and sour cream.
Gently mix them with the spatula.
Then add the zucchini chips on the top.
Finally your Keto Dorito Taco Salad is ready to serve!

SERVING IDEAS:

Cauliflower rice is excellent low-carb alternative to ordinary rice. It complements the depth of taste in your salad and is low in carbohydrates.
Zucchini, bell peppers, asparagus, and even roasted Brussels sprouts make excellent keto-friendly accompaniments to this salad.
The bread base for keto-friendly garlic bread may be made using coconut flour or almond flour. Add fresh herbs and garlic butter over top for the ideal accompaniment to your salsa or sour cream.
A side of olives or some hot pickled jalapeños should be added. Both are keto-friendly, have delicious tastes, and give the dish a little kick.

TIPS:

We could also include some minced chicken / beef as a replacement for minced turkey.
You can also use the Greek yogurt in place of sour cream in the salad dressing.
We can also add some nuts or other keto-friendly vegetables like cucumber, bell pepper, cauliflower, or cabbage to this recipe.
You could also add the chopped jalapenos or red chili flakes if we want to make it spicy.
We can also add the lemon or lime juice to make it more flavorful.
