Turkey and Avocado Tumbles
We hope you have been enjoying our recent posts of easy weeknight dinners over the past few weeks. As we are truly in the midst of the fall season, we all need to find ways to get easy and healthy dinners on the table.
This week, we have a very healthy and delicious recipe for you: Turkey Avocado Tumbles. It combines ground turkey and avocado, using the avocados as the serving vessel, which makes this a fun recipe to try. The turkey is seasoned with some salsa, and then we added a little Greek yogurt to give it a creamy taste without all the fat.
Although this dinner is a little different, it is very easy to make. Considering all the health benefits of the mighty avocado, it is worth giving it a try.
The easy recipe is below.
