Your Turkey Avocado Taco - Stuffed Avocado Recipe lists ground beef instead of ground turkey as its first ingredient on the recipe card itself. I would imagine it's good either way, but I was a bit confused when I printed the recipe for my low-carb binder.

Hey, thanks for catching that typo. I've updated the post to reflect the ground turkey in the recipe card.
