Easy, Delicious, and Healthy Taco Ring




This doesn't just LOOK amazing, it TASTES amazing!
Super easy to make, too!

YOU WILL NEED:

2 (8oz) crescent roll tubes, I used lowfat and wheat
1 lb LEAN ground turkey
2 tbs olive oil
1 packet of taco seasoning, reduced sodium
1 yellow onion (chopped)
1 1/2 cups shredded FATFREE cheddar cheese
1 cup Shredded Romaine lettuce
1 or 2 diced tomatoes depending on size
1/2 small can Olives (sliced) (Avocado, Sour cream etc)

DIRECTIONS:

Preheat oven 350 degrees
Grease a 12 in pizza pan with nonstick spray

Heat a large skillet to medium-high
Place olive oil and onions in skillet, mix and cook the onions until slightly browned
Add in the meat and allow to cook until meat is no longer pink

Drain the meat of any excess oils, fats, and liquids

Stir in taco seasoning (and water, if seasoning packet requires it)
Cook over med-hi heat again for no more than an additional 5 mins – look for the liquids to be absorbed

Remove from heat and add the cheese, mix until cheese is fully melted.

Remove crescents from can. Place in a ring, with side-ends of the rolls facing the center – pointy ends out. Overlap the corners if need be.

Spoon the meat into the center of the crescent rolls, then fold over and tuck under the pointy ends under the wide ends.

Bake for 20 minutes, or until the crescents are golden brown.

YUM!

You can place the lettuce and tomatoes in the middle, like I did – or however you’d like!

Sour cream is optional, but aim for low fat!

In joy, enjoy!
