Southwest Turkey Taco Salad – Paleo Recipe

This week eMeals is shaing their Paleo Meal Planning. I love that eMeals has meal plans for all different kinds of dietary needs and wants. There are tons of plans to choose from including Breakfast, Lunch, Dessert Plan, Low Carb, Low Fat, Slow Cooker meals, 30 Minute Meals and more! The choices are amazing and meant to help you avoid the headache of meal planning. Today I’m going to showcase a recipe from the Paleo Meal Plan.
