Ingredients

    8 cups turkey or chicken broth
    12 ounces cooked, diced turkey
    8 Tbsp. fresh avocado, mashed
    1 cup Pico de Gallo (pick up in your grocer's deli)
    2 Tbsp. light sour cream
    2 medium scallions, greens only, finely chopped
    Juice of 1 lime
    Salt/Pepper to taste

Tips

Diced chicken may be used.
Other ingredients may be added such as sweet, whole kernel corn or black beans. (These will increase the carbohydrates, but are good complex carbohydrates.)


Directions

1. Add broth and diced turkey to a medium saucepan and and bring to a boil. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
2. Mash fresh avocado, adding the juice of the lime to the mixture (this helps keep its bright green color)
3. Finely chop the greens of the scallions.
4. Prepare 4 bowls for plating. In each bowl:
a. Add 2 cups of the turkey broth with diced turkey
b. In the center of the bowl, add 2 Tbsp. avocado topped with 2 Tbsp. Pico de Gallo and a small dollop of light sour cream.
c. Sprinkle 1/4 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese on top of the soup.
