Instructions
1
Prep
Chop 220g deli turkey finely. Scoop 80g avocado flesh into a small bowl. Drain and finely chop 25g sun-dried tomatoes. Zest 0.5 lemon and juice it (1.5 tbsp). Finely chop fresh basil (2 tbsp) and parsley (1.5 tbsp). Dice red onion (1 tbsp). Gather 30g pesto and 50g Greek yogurt.

Build
Mash avocado with lemon juice, zest, salt, and pepper using a fork until mostly smooth, about 1 minute. Whisk in Greek yogurt, pesto, and sun-dried tomatoes until combined into a smooth herby dressing.

Add chopped turkey, basil, parsley, and red onion to the dressing. Smash together with a fork 1 to 2 minutes until evenly combined but still chunky. Taste and adjust seasoning or lemon as needed.
4
Finish
Transfer smash to an airtight container or glass tub. Press parchment directly onto the surface to slow avocado oxidation. Refrigerate up to 2 days before serving.

Plate
Toast 1 slice wholemeal sourdough or warm 1 wholemeal wrap per person. Scoop roughly 135g of the turkey-avocado smash onto the bread. Serve with cherry tomatoes, baby carrots, or rocket alongside for extra fibre and freshness.
