    Ingredients:

    1. 1/2 cup prepared salsa
    2. 1/4 cup reduced-fat sour cream
    3. 1 teaspoon canola oil
    4. 1 medium onion, chopped
    5. 3 cloves garlic, minced
    6. 1 pound 93%-lean ground turkey
    7. 2 large plum tomatoes, diced
    8. 1 (14 ounce) can kidney beans, rinsed
    9. 2 teaspoons cumin
    10. 2 teaspoons chili powder
    11. 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
    12. 8 cups shredded romaine lettuce
    13. 1/2 cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese

    Directions:
    1. Combine salsa and sour cream in a large bowl.
    2. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and cook, stirring often, until softened, about 2 minutes. Add turkey and cook, stirring often and crumbling with a wooden spoon, until cooked through, about 5 minutes. Add tomatoes, beans, cumin and chili powder; cook, stirring, until the tomatoes begin to break down, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat, stir in cilantro and 1/4 cup of the salsa mixture.
    3. Add lettuce to the remaining salsa mixture in the bowl; toss to coat. To serve, divide the lettuce among 4 plates, top with the turkey mixture and sprinkle with cheese.
