Grilled Turkey Tacos
This is a very satisfying turkey based taco, with enough density of high quality calories and flavors to make a complete meal at lunch or dinner. Some of the healthy fats come from the nutrient rich avocado. You can reduce the carbs and fat grams by using lettuce leaves in place of the grilled tortillas, or, use lower or fat free tortillas.
