Directions to make stuffed avocados
First, start off by heating oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Next, add the ground turkey and onion and cook until the turkey is no longer pink and the onion has softened; about 10 minutes.
Drain then add back to the pan and pour in the low-sodium beef broth. Then, add the chili powder, cumin, oregano, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and paprika. Stir to combine. stir in the black beans and salsa. Stir and cook until heated through, about 5 minutes.
Cut the avocados in half lengthwise and scoop out the flesh. Transfer the flesh to a small bowl and add the lime juice and mash with a fork until chunky-smooth. I am one that loves salty foods so I always mix in about ½ tsp of kosher salt. Last, fill each avocado with the turkey mix and top with cheese and your homemade guacamole and top with a dollop of plain greek yogurt.
