Instructions

Place the onion slices in a bowl and sprinkle with about 1 tbsp. salt, use your hands to rub the salt into the onion slices. Cover with lukewarm water and let rest for 10-20 minutes. Rinse the onions well with cold water and drain. This will help remove the bitterness of the onions and also helps them marinate better with the lime juice.
Add the lime juice from 3 ½ limes to the onions. Save ½ lime to drizzle over the avocados.
Let the onions marinate with the lime juice and a sprinkle of salt for about 10 minutes.
Add the sliced tomatoes, chopped cilantro and olive oil to the onions, mix well.
Mix the onion and tomato salad with the shredded turkey. Add salt/pepper to taste.
Cut the avocados in half, remove the seeds, and peel carefully.
Drizzle remaining lime juice over the avocados, this prevents them from darkening.
Use a spoon to stuff avocados with turkey (or chicken) salad filling.
Serve immediately on a bed of salad greens.
