Peel and pit avocado. Place in a small bowl and mash coarsely with a fork. Stir in lime juice and salt. Working with 1 tortilla at a time, lightly moisten both sides with water. Spread about 3 tablespoons cheese spread on tortilla. Partially cover lower third of tortilla with 1/3 of salmon. Using 1/5 of avocado mixture, make a band across center of tortilla. Sprinkle with scallions. Roll up. Repeat with 2 more tortillas and remaining salmon.

Repeat with remaining tortillas and turkey, placing turkey over two-thirds of each tortilla. Wrap each roll in plastic wrap. Refrigerate 2 hours to create firm cheese spread or up to 8 hours.
