Texas Straw Hat is a dish that is an old favorite of mine and was served up in the dorm cafeterias at The Ohio State University. Unlike most of the slop that they served in the dorms in those days, Texas Straw Hat actually tasted great. It is very similar to a taco salad in most respects. The original recipe calls for ground beef but ground turkey works just as well. The key is to use the freshest vegetables that you can get. Other than that, it is really easy and quick to make. Go Bucks!!!
Ingredients:
1 pound ground turkey
taco seasoning mix
cheddar cheese
medium white onion, diced
taco sauce
sour creme

Pinto or black beans (optional)
Tobasco sauce (optional)
Preparation:
- Brown the ground turkey and the onion in a skillet with the taco seasoning according to the instructions.
- Shred the iceberg lettuce and dice the tomatoes and onions.

things are a lot healthier today - when i was a purdue student many decades ago, a texas straw hat consisted of a bed of frito chips with a scope of taco meat on top covered with shredded cheese and sour cream....
