Instructions
Step 1
Cut up vegetables:

In a large non-stick pan, heat 2 tbsp oil over medium-high heat. When the pan is hot, add turkey and 0.5 tbsp chili and 0.5 tbsp cumin. Cook for 4-5 mins, until no pink remains. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat when meat brown.

Make salad sauce/dressing: In a medium bowl add vinegar (1/8 cup), mayonnaise (1/2 cup), 0.5 tbsp cumin, 0.5 tbsp chili powder. Mix.
Step 5
