For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the ground turkey while cooking. If you prefer a vegetarian option, substitute the ground turkey with lentils or crumbled tofu. To save time, use pre-shredded cheese and pre-chopped vegetables. Customize your salad with your favorite toppings! Consider adding corn, olives, or a drizzle of hot sauce.
