Notes
Pick an avocado that’s slightly soft to the touch without being mushy.
Make this recipe vegetarian by swapping out the ground turkey for more veggies or your favourite meatless substitute.
Serve your stuffed avocado with black beans, cowboy caviar or homemade tortillas chips.
Store the turkey mixture and toppings separately in the fridge for 5 days. Reheat the turkey mixture in the microwave for 1-2 minutes or on the stovetop.
Freeze the turkey mixture for up to 3 months. Defrost in the fridge overnight then reheat as normal.
