Turkey Avocado Quesadilla

Recipe from Amy F.
Serves 1

Carb Balance Mission Tortilla (you can use whatever kind you like - we had those and they have 11 grams of fiber in ONE tortilla!)
Avocado - cut into small chunks
Grape tomato - cut into small pieces
Red onion - we used about 1/4 of the onion - chopped
little bit of lemon juice
Already cooked rotisserie turkey breast - cut into bit size pieces.
Green onions - chopped.
Olive Oil
any Shredded cheese - we used the walmart brand of fancy co-jack.

In skillet, saute in olive oil the green onion and turkey for a few minutes, until onions are cooked and turkey is warm. Mix together avocado chunks, tomato and red onion and a little lemon juice.  Brown tortilla in pan on one side (we used non stick cooking spray on it too) After tortilla is browned, fill 1/2 with turkey, top with a little cheese, then add the avocado mixture, and fold over tortilla and enjoy.

California Turkey Burgers

Recipe from Sarah from Fitness Magazine
Serves 6

2 teaspoons olive oil
1/2 cup minced scallions
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons reduced-fat sour cream
4 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 pounds lean ground turkey
Nonstick cooking spray
3 ounces blue cheese, crumbled
6 whole wheat hamburger buns, split
2 firm, ripe tomatoes, sliced 1/4-inch thick
1 just-ripe avocado, thinly sliced
1 medium red onion, thinly sliced

In a small skillet, warm the olive oil over medium heat. Saute the scallions until just softened, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl, season with the salt and black pepper and let cool. Stir in the sour cream and Worcestershire sauce; add the turkey and mix gently until just combined. Form into 6 patties.  Heat a grill to medium-high. Mist grill with cooking spray and cook burgers 5 minutes. Turn and grill until almost cooked through, about 3 minutes more. Top each burger with some of the blue cheese; cook 1 to 2 minutes more or until burgers are just cooked through and cheese is melted. Arrange burgers on buns and top with sliced tomato, avocado, and red onion.
