Steps:
- Heat the oil in medium non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until soft, about 4 minutes. Add the zucchini, the salsa, and a couple tablespoons of water. Cover, cook for 5 minutes, or until the squash is tender. Transfer the vegetable mixture to a bowl with a spoon.
- Squish the sausage meat from its casing into the same skillet. (Discard the casings.) Break the meat up with a wooden spoon. Cook the meat over medium heat for 3 to 5 minutes or until it loses its color. Add the meat to the vegetables. Add the cheese and stir. Set aside.
- Cut avocado in half. Using a spoon, scrape the avocado from the skin into another bowl. Smash the avocado with a fork and season with salt and pepper.
- Wrap the tortillas in moist paper towels. Heat in the microwave for 1 minute or until warm. Lay out the tortillas and divide the turkey mixture evenly on top. Top with lettuce and avocado, fold the tortillas over and serve with salsa.

Steps:

- Stir in chili powder, salt, and tomato paste and cook 1 minute. Add broth and simmer, stirring occasionally, until liquid becomes thick and clings to meat.
- Divide meat mixture, cheese, lettuce, and tomato among taco shells and serve immediately with optional sour cream, pico de gallo, and avocado.
Tips:
- Choose the right sausage: Opt for a flavorful turkey sausage that is well-seasoned. Look for varieties that include herbs, spices, or vegetables for added flavor.

- Use a variety of toppings: The possibilities are endless when it comes to taco toppings. Some popular choices include shredded cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, salsa, and guacamole.
- Make it a complete meal: Serve your turkey sausage tacos with a side of rice, beans, or salad for a complete and satisfying meal.
