Instructions

Heat up a medium-sized skillet over medium heat on your stove. Once warmed, add your ground turkey to the skillet and cook until it is no longer pink.
Add taco seasoning packet, and the amount of water stated in the seasoning packet directions. Cook until the water has reduced and the packet contents have been absorbed into the meat. Turn your heat off and let the taco mixture cool.
Prep your salad ingredients by chopping the tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, jalapeno and avocado and set it all aside.
Take 4 mason jars and start prepping your salads by dividing the salsa by 4 and adding it to the bottom of the jar. Next, layer tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, jalapeños, avocado, taco meat, and then the lettuce last. Place lid on and close tight. Store in the refrigerator until ready to eat.
When ready to eat, shake real good, then pour into a bowl, squeeze some lime juice over top and enjoy.

Notes:

Vegetarian

Replace the ground turkey with tofu, seitan or tempeh.
