Preparation

Step 1

In a large non-stick skillet set over medium heat, add 1 tbsp olive oil and onions. Cook until onions are softened, about 4 minutes. Add ground turkey and garlic and continue to cook, breaking up meat with a wooden spoon until meat is cooked through and no longer pink. Add Worcestershire sauce, season to taste with salt and pepper; and set aside.
2.Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, jalapeno peppers, cilantro and lime juice and mix well. Season to taste with salt and pepper and set aside.
3.Arrange tortillas in a single layer on a clean surface and spoon 1/4 of the meat mixture down the centre of each tortilla. Top with cheese, mayonnaise mixture, bacon, tomatoes and avocado and roll up tortilla burrito-style. Brush outside of tortillas with remaining 1 tbsp olive oil and sprinkle with kosher salt and freshly ground pepper.
4.Place in a Panini press or set in a grill pan, set over medium heat and cook until crispy and golden brown on both sides, about 5 minutes. Cut in half, crosswise and serve with remaining mayonnaise to use as a dip, if desired.
