Make The Topping:
- While the potatoes cook, place the avocado, lime juice, garlic, cilantro, and salsa in a medium bowl. Mash until well combined. Leave a little bit of the avocado chunky for texture. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Once the potatoes have cooked on one side, brush the tops with the remaining oil and sprinkle with the remaining seasoning, gently and quickly rubbing it in a little. Flip the potatoes. Cook for an additional 4 minutes, or until fork tender. Transfer to a plate and cover to keep warm.
- Place the sliced turkey sausage on the grill. Cook for 2 minutes per side, flipping once.
Assemble The Dish:
- Scoop the the avocado mixture onto the center of each grilled potato round with a spoon. Top with a slice of sausage.
- Serve immediately.
