Ginger and orange zest bring a bright, warming kick to seared ground turkey, seasoned with cumin, chili powder, and smoked paprika until every crumble is fragrant and deeply savory. A splash of fresh orange juice deglazes the pan into a light glaze that clings to the meat before it lands on a heap of crisp romaine, juicy cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and red bell pepper. The dressing is built from lime juice, olive oil, and a touch of honey, whisked until glossy and tossed straight through the greens for a citrusy, herby finish. Creamy avocado slices and toasted pumpkin seeds add richness and crunch in every bite, rounding out a salad that feels both fresh and satisfying. This one comes together fast in a single skillet and holds up well as a make-ahead lunch. It's a solid, flavor-packed choice for anyone keeping an eye on added salt without sacrificing taste.

In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, honey, cumin, and salt until the honey is fully dissolved and the dressing is emulsified. Set aside.
Heat the avocado oil in a large (12-inch) skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the ground turkey and cook, breaking it into small crumbles with a spatula, for 6–8 minutes until no pink remains and the turkey registers 165°F (74°C) on an instant-read thermometer.
