ground turkey

🥗Healthier: ground chicken

💰Cheaper: canned beans

Ground chicken offers a lean option, while beans are budget-friendly and protein-rich.

sour cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: creamy dressing

Greek yogurt reduces calories while adding creaminess.

cheddar cheese

🥗Healthier: reduced-fat cheese

💰Cheaper: shredded cheese blend

Reduced-fat cheese lowers calories, while blends are often less expensive.

tortilla chips

🥗Healthier: baked tortilla chips

💰Cheaper: homemade tortilla chips

Baked chips reduce fat, while homemade can save money.

1

Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

2

Add tomatillos, onion, jalapeño and saute about a minute until softened.

3

Add garlic and spices and cook another minute.

4

Scoot the vegetable mixture to the edges of the skillet and break the turkey into the skillet. Use your spatula to break it into small chunks.

5

Add the chicken broth and cook, stirring, for about 5 minutes or until the turkey is cooked through and no longer pink. Remove from heat.

6

Arrange lettuce and cabbage into 4 bowls and top with whatever other salad vegetables you like. Scoop 1/4 of the turkey mixture on top of each bowl and serve with salsa, cheese, chips and/or sour cream.
