Directions
Step 1
Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 8-10 minutes. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain the excess grease, then crumble into bite-sized pieces.
Step 2
Wash and dry the romaine lettuce, then chop it into bite-sized pieces. Place it in a large mixing bowl.
Step 3
Halve the cherry tomatoes, thinly slice the red onion, and dice the cooked turkey breast into bite-sized chunks. Add them to the bowl with the lettuce.
Step 4
Prepare the dressing by whisking together the mayonnaise, sour cream, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper in a small mixing bowl until smooth and creamy.
Step 5
Add the crumbled bacon and croutons to the salad.
Step 6
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to ensure all ingredients are evenly coated.
Step 7
Divide the salad into four serving bowls or plates and serve immediately.
