Turkey Taco Salad Steps

Grab a small bowl and mix up all of the spice ingredients in it. Set aside.
Heat a 12 inch pan on medium high. Once hot, add in 1 tbsp of Avocado Oil. Add in the ground turkey and brown the meat. This will take around 6-8 minutes. Remove turkey from pan once browned leaving the fat in the pan.
Add in the onion and season with salt a nice pinch of salt and pepper. Cook for 4-5 minutes. Add in the serrano pepper and garlic. Cook for an additional minute.
Reduce heat to medium and add the turkey back to the pan. Give everything a nice mix. Add in the spice mix and stir so that everything is nicely combined.
Now add in the tomato sauce and paste and cook for 2-3 minutes. Add in the chicken broth and let this reduce a bit.
Once slightly reduced, add in the potato starch and stir until thickened. This will happen pretty quick. Once it starts to thicken, reduce heat to low and simmer for a few minutes to let the flavors come together.
Add to a bed of mixed greens and toppings of your choice. Spoon over the dressing and enjoy! This would be epic in tacos as well!
