Add ground turkey, onion, chili powder and salt. Cook, stirring with a wooden spoon and breaking up large pieces of turkey, until cooked through, 4 to 6 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in black beans and salsa. Carve out the flesh of each avocado half with a spoon, leaving about a 1/4-inch border all around. Transfer the scooped flesh to a small bowl. Add cilantro and lime juice; mash with a fork until chunky-smooth. Fill each avocado half with about 1/2 cup of the turkey filling (they will be very full). Top each with 1 teaspoon cheese and some of the guacamole.
