     1/4  c             Scallion -- thinly sliced
   3      tb            fresh orange juice
   3      tb            Fresh cilantro -- minced
                        Black pepper -- freshly ground
   1      lb            Smoked turkey -- thinly sliced
   1                    Avocado -- halved, pitted,
                        - peeled, and cut into thin
                        - strips and sprinkled with
                        - lime juice
   1                    Red bell pepper -- cut lengthwise
                        - into 1/4" strips

In a small saucepan bring 1 cup water to a boil with 1 tb oil, salt
to taste, and turmeric. Stir in the couscous, cover and let stand for
5 minutes. Stir in the remaining 2 tb oil, lime juice, jalapeno,
scallion, orange juice, cilantro, salt, and pepper to taste. Allow
the mixture to cool to room temperature. Press about 2 tb of the
couscous mixture in the palm of one hand, forming a log, and arrange
it across a short end of 1 turkey slice. Arrange 1 avocado slice and
1 pepper strip along each side of the log and roll up the couscous,
avocado, bell pepper tightly in the turkey. With a sharp knife cut
the roll into 1" lengths, trimming the ends. Make rolls with the
remaining turkey, couscous mixture, avocado, and pepper strips in the
same manner. The rolls may be prepared 8 hours in advance and kept
wrapped in plastic wrap and chilled.
