High Protein Turkey Taco Stuffed Avocado is a healthy lunch or dinner recipe, part of my Blackstone griddle high protein meal prep series!
- cooking oil of choice
- 1/2 pound ground turkey (I cooked the whole pound and used the extra in taco salads)
- taco seasoning blend of choice
- 2 large avocados (ripe but still firm)
- 2 lime wedges
- kosher salt, pepper
- 1/4 cup sour cream or your favorite taco sauce (or my High Protein Creamy Taco Sauce, recipe in post above)
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese of choice
- 1/4 cup chopped, fresh cilantro
- Optional toppings: hot sauce, pickled onions or jalapenos
-
Note: This is part of my Blackstone High Protein Meal Prep Series, so the turkey and sweet potatoes were already cooked when I assembled these stuffed avocados. Check out the meal prep series in post above with the 4 high protein meals I made with the turkey (and sweet potatoes)… or follow these directions.
-
Preheat a skillet or your Blackstone griddle to medium heat. Add cooking oil of choice, ground turkey, and taco seasoning. Cook the turkey 7 to 10 minutes, mixing and breaking it apart with your spatulas.
-
Cut each avocado in half, remove pit, scoop out some of the inside to hollow out a space for the taco filling (I added the avocado I removed to my plate so it didn't go to waste). Squeeze lime over each avocado half and season with kosher salt and pepper.
-
Stuff each avocado with the turkey taco meat, sour cream/ your favorite taco sauce or my high protein creamy taco sauce, cheese, cilantro, and any toppings of choice such as hot sauce and pickled onions or jalapenos.
