  4. Heat half of the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned turkey and cook, breaking it into crumbles, until browned and cooked to 165°F (74°C), about 8 minutes. Move it to a plate.
  5. Add the remaining olive oil and the red bell pepper to the skillet and cook 3 minutes until tender. Add the spinach and cook until wilted, about 1 minute.
  6. Season the eggs with the remaining quarter of the salt, pour them into the skillet over medium-low heat and stir gently until softly set and cooked to 160°F (71°C), 2 to 3 minutes. Fold the turkey back in.
  7. Spoon the turkey and egg filling into the romaine leaves, top with the avocado sauce and sprinkle with the green onion. Serve 3 wraps per person.
