How can you feed the whole family a delicious and filling meal when you only have two small turkey sausages on hand? Make tacos! Warm corn tortillas are filled with a meat filling, fresh vegetables, and grated cheese. Both adults and kids will love this. Plus, turkey is a healthier alternative to beef and pork. A great idea for a weeknight dinner.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:
- Heat oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until softened, about 4 minutes. Add the zucchini, salsa, and a couple of tablespoons of water. Cover and cook for 5 minutes, or until the zucchini is tender. Spoon the vegetable mixture into a bowl.
- Squeeze the sausage out of the casing into the same pan. Break up the meat with a wooden spoon. Cook over medium heat for 3–5 minutes, or until no longer pink. Add the meat to the vegetables. Add the cheese and stir. Set aside.
- Cut the avocado in half. Use a spoon to scoop the flesh out of the skin and transfer it to another bowl. Mash the avocado with a fork and season with salt and pepper.
- Wrap the tortillas in damp paper towels. Microwave for 1 minute or until heated through. Line the tortillas and spread the meat filling evenly over them. Top with lettuce leaves and avocado, roll up the tortillas, and serve with salsa.
