These Savory Keto Avocado Boats quickly became a staple during my elimination diet—not just because they were easy and filling, but because they felt like a real breakfast. Not another plate of plain meat and veggies. This was creamy, crunchy, salty, and satisfying. Everything I needed in the morning to feel like I was actually treating myself.
And when turkey bacon is involved? You know it’s going to be a good day.

Batch It, Reheat It, Love It
I’d cook up a whole pack of turkey bacon at the start of the week and keep it in the fridge. When I was short on time (which was often), I’d reheat a couple slices in the air fryer and pop them right into an avocado half. Drizzle a little olive oil, sprinkle some garlic powder and Tajín on top… chef’s kiss.
For my family, I’d turn this into a full breakfast plate with scrambled eggs, toast, or cheese. Super flexible, super fast.
📋 Ingredients:
- 1 ripe avocado, halved and pitted
- 2 slices turkey bacon, cooked and chopped
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp olive oil (for drizzling)
- 1 tbsp chopped scallions (optional)
- Sea salt, to taste
🥓 Instructions:
- Cook turkey bacon until crispy. Let cool slightly and chop into pieces.
- Slice avocado in half and remove the pit.
- If needed, scoop out a little of the center to make space for the filling.
- Sprinkle each half with garlic powder and sea salt.
- Fill with chopped turkey bacon, drizzle with olive oil, and top with scallions if using.
- Serve immediately—or store components separately to assemble later.
💡 Avocado Boat Upgrades:
- Spice it up: Tajín and hot sauce are musts for me.
- Make it a full breakfast: Add scrambled eggs and cheese for the fam.
- Batch tip: Air fry a bunch of turkey bacon at once—store it in a container for easy use all week.
