Here is a quick & yummy new recipe for you! I made 2 different variations of this, one with Ground Chicken & one with Ground Turkey. So you can decide which you like best! I made this Salad for 2 of my girlfriends this past week, and they both really enjoyed it. I hope you will as well! What I love about this particular recipe is it's so versatile! Just as one of my girlfriends said, you could even make it as a dip! And that's where my original idea actually came from. I always hear people rave about Buffalo Chicken Dip. This is a great variation of that as well! So here we go...
What you'll need:
1 lb Ground Chicken or Turkey
2 TSP Garlic Powder
2 TSP Onion Powder
1 TSP Ground Sea Salt
1 TSP Ground Black Pepper
1/2 Cup Greek Yogurt or they make a Whipped Greek Yogurt/Cream Cheese you can find by the Cream Cheese
Hot Sauce (I love Franks) But use your favorite here!
Toppings of your Choice (Lettuce, Tomato, Scallions, Cilantro, Cheese, Avocado, Red Peppers, Etc.)
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the chicken or turkey for 5 minutes, or until no longer pink. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the Yogurt & Hot Sauce. I usually start with a teaspoon of sauce & go from there. This is YOUR dish, so make it as Mild or HOT as you like!Once you reach desired heat, set that aside. Add the garlic & onion powder, salt & pepper to your meat. Let spices combine for 2 minutes, then drain. Reduce the heat to Low. Add your Buffalo Yogurt mixture to your meat & stir until well incorporated. Now, you can turn the heat off & let sit with a lid on it, while you prepare what you want to top it with!
If you decide to make this as a dip, you could just add this to a bowl, top it with cheese & start dipping! Or, you can do as I did, and make it into a Salad! When I was at home, I kept it simple with just some lettuce, scallions, Mexican Blend Cheese & additional dashes of hot sauce! But when I made it for my girlfriends, we loaded it down! So just have fun with it, & add whatever you love!
I hope you will make this delicious salad! Better yet, call some friends & make it for them.
Be a blessing to someone, it's truly rewarding to put love into a dish.

| This is what my Ground Chicken looked like after I added Greek Yogurt & Hot Sauce. If you use the Greek Yogurt/Cream Cheese combo, it will be creamier. Just wanted you to know! :) |
