Instructions
- In a large skillet, over medium-high heat, combine ground turkey, cumin, garlic powder, salt, pepper, bell pepper, celery, and green onions. Cook and crumble until no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. Drain.

- Layer each bowl with chopped romaine lettuce (or green leaf lettuce), top with a scoop of ground turkey mixture, and then all your favorite toppings.
Notes
Feel free to use any sweet bell pepper such as orange or yellow in place of the red bell pepper.
I prefer to use the fresh salsa that you can buy near the deli in the refrigerated section of the produce aisle. You can also use the jarred salsa.
If you don't like or don't have pinto beans, feel free to use any bean in it's place that you prefer.
