Chef's Note
For the best texture, make sure your avocados are ripe but still firm enough to hold their shape when diced. If preparing ahead, keep the turkey mixture, avocado mixture, and lettuce leaves separate until ready to serve to prevent wilting. The yogurt sauce can be substituted with dairy-free alternatives for a completely dairy-free option.
