Make dressing by adding all ingredients into a blender and blend until fully combined and smooth. You can also use an immersion blender for this. Set aside.
Add oil to a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and sauté for 3-5 minutes.
Add ground turkey and cook until brown, about 5-7 minutes. Use a wooden spoon to break up the meat while cooking. Add the chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt and pepper. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
Pour in the water and tomato sauce and stir to combine. Let the mixture simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until the liquid has been absorbed.
To make bowls, add a base of cauliflower rice and top with romaine lettuce and ¼ of ground turkey. Then top with black beans, corn, tomatoes, mexican cheese, avocado, cilantro and salsa. Drizzle southwest dressing over bowl and serve.
To meal prep: In a glass container add a row of cauliflower rice, corn, beans, turkey, romaine lettuce and tomatoes. Add cheese and cilantro on top and serve with dressing on the side. When ready to enjoy, drizzle dressing on top, add avocado and enjoy!
