  • >> Hilah: Hey dudes.

  • I'm Hilah and welcome to the first episode of 2013!

  • Congratulations for not all dying.

  • I think in honor of not all like burning up in a firey blaze at the end of the apocalypse

  • or something, we should try to eat healthier.

  • So at least for like January, I'm going to do some healthy meals.

  • So today is a turkey taco salad AKA turkey taco salad.

  • It's low fat.

  • It's really quick to make and should appeal to those of you who decided to eat lower fat

  • and more vegetables and less red meat this year.

  • So let's do it.

  • [music]

  • [Turkey Taco Salad Recipe]

  • >> Hilah: All right.

  • So we're just going to make a really basic taco seasoning thing.

  • I've got some ground turkey here.

  • I'm using turkey breast.

  • It's really lean.

  • If you want to use lean ground beef, that would totally work too.

  • So we're just going to turn to our stove and start sautéing up some stuff.

  • First we're going to put just a teeny tiny little smidgen of oil in our hot skillet,

  • like half a teaspoon.

  • Well we don't need to go crazy and then I got some onion and fresh tomatillos here

  • that we're just going to get a little bit soft.

  • Just start to get them to release some moisture and while that's happening, we can add in

  • some jalapeno too.

  • If you wanted to likeif you were serving this for kids and adults, you can totally

  • leave out the jalapeno and just use a spicier salsa at the end for the grown-ups versus

  • the kids.

  • So just about a minute to get everything kind of softened and looking juicy.

  • OK.

  • So the onions are starting to look a little translucent here.

  • The tomatillos are softening up.

  • I'm going to go ahead and add my spices and this is just salt and cumin, chili powder

  • and like literally just a little tiny smudge of cocaine.

  • I mean cinnamon.

  • I'm not doing cocaine this year.

  • I promised myself that.

  • OK.

  • We're just going to sort of like keep rolling.

  • OK, we're just going to toss this around.

  • We're going to get the spices kind of toasted up here and they will start to release their

  • fragrances and then we can add some garlic.

  • I'm not going to add all this, but about two teaspoons and then sort of scoot all your

  • vegetables and everything to the outside so we can make some room for the turkeys.

  • Get in here, you turkey!

  • And just start to break it up and I'm going to add a little bit of chicken stock.

  • Turkey, lean turkey, or any lean meat because it is so lean has a lotnot very much

  • fat.

  • It has a tendency to dry out.

  • So the tomatillos and the onions are going to help keep it moist and then just for a

  • little extra assurance, we will add some chicken stock and this will help it sort of help the

  • turkey break up into smaller bits too, like we did in the crispy beef taco video.

  • I'm just going to start to keep moving this around until it's no longer pink.

  • That will probably take about five minutes or so.

  • All right.

  • Just about five minutes later, we're looking like this.

  • Just break up the bigger chunks and make sure that they're not pink inside.

  • It's obviously not going to look as dark as like beef would look when it's cooked

  • but you can still tell that it's raw or not.

  • This all looks good actually.

  • Awesome.

  • OK.

  • I'm ready to serve.

  • Just going to turn that off.

  • So I've just got some lettuce and radishes and little cherry tomatoes and avocado because

  • you have some fat in your diet, so no sense in doing totally fat-free.

  • Let's not be crazy and then I'm just going to top it with salsa.

  • Some people like to put ranch dressing on their taco salad and you can also serve this

  • with tortilla chips and then it would actually be more of like a taco-ey salad but whatever.

  • I think it's just as satisfying with just like the meat and the vegetables.

  • So just get a little bite with some turkey and some avocado, some lettuce.

  • You're going to listen to me chew forever.

  • Turkey taco salad, it's one of my favorite like go-to meals.

  • It's so quick and easy.

  • I mean this whole thing took me like less than two minutes to put together.

  • It's really healthy and whatever.

  • It's OK to eat salads for dinner sometimes guys.

  • In fact, I had a request the other day for a salad that was like a meal salad.

  • So there you go, friend.

  • Take it.

  • Enjoy.

  • Thank you for watching.

  • I hope you try this recipe.

  • If you have any questions, leave them in the comments below and I will get to them as soon

  • as I can and happy 2013 everybody!

  • Whoo!
