Instructions
 

For the dressing:

  • Combine the ingredients in a small blender jar and puree until smooth. Add a little water if needed thin it out and season as desired.

For the salad:

  • Add the oil to a skillet over medium heat. Add the turkey and cook, stirring and breaking up the meat. Add all the spices and salt and pepper and continue cooking until the turkey is full cooked. Taste and season more if needed. Set aside to cool down a little while you prep the other salad ingredients.
