Time 40m

Yield 1 large bowl

Number Of Ingredients 18

5 1/2 cups freshly shredded green cabbage (about 1/2 a large cabbage)
1/2 cup green onion, chopped (about 6 onions)
2 chipotle chiles in adobo (2 large ones out of a small can)
1 cup real mayonnaise
4 tablespoons clover honey
2 tablespoons fresh squeezed lime juice (about 1 small lime)
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt (for the cabbage dressing)
3 tablespoons canola oil
1 large yellow onion, chopped (2 cups chopped onion)
1 1/4 lbs ground turkey (85/15 lean to fat content)
4 cups fresh zucchini, cubed small (about 3 small zucchini)
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt (for the turkey-calabasitas mix)
1/2 teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper
1 (11 1/8 ounce) bag original Fritos corn chips
1 (16 ounce) brick longhorn style mild cheddar cheese, freshly shredded
1 fresh summer slicing tomatoes, cubed and with seeds removed
1 avocado, cubed

Steps:

  • Shred the cabbage in a food processor with the shredding blade. Place the cabbage with the chopped green onions into a large bowl.
  • Rinse out the cabbage from the food processor and change to the regular chopping blade. Put the 2 chipotle peppers in and process until they form a smooth paste. Add to that the mayonnaise, honey, lime juice, and salt.
  • Pour the chipotle dressing into the cabbage mix and toss to coat. Set aside in the fridge until ready to assemble salad.
  • Heat the canola oil in a large Texas skillet. Add the yellow onions, turkey meat, and zucchini. Sprinkle the mix with the garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  • Cook on medium heat, stirring often, until the turkey is no longer pink and the onions and zucchini have cooked down and gotten soft. (About 10 minutes).
  • Remove the turkey from heat and keep warm to assemble the salad.
  • Assemble the salad by placing some of the Frito chips around the edges of a plate and put some turkey mix in the middle of the chips, then some of the chipotle cabbage slaw, cheese, tomatoes, and avocado. Garnish with some optional cilantro if desired.
