Kick up the flavor of grilled turkey when you top it with this sassy little salsa that you prepare yourself and have complete control over the sugar and sodium. Do the pre-prep early in the day so the chicken can marinate while you take on the day. The rest is quick and easy and you will have dinner prepared in less than 30 minutes. This recipe makes 4 servings, adjust as needed.
2 chili pepper, chopped

2 avocado, diced
4 Tbsp finely diced red onion

2 Tbsp lime juice
Cilantro, chopped
Salt and pepper, optional to taste
Directions:
1. In a small bowl mix together chili, garlic and lime zest.
