Steps:

For the taquitos: Fill a large, deep skillet halfway with oil. Heat the oil to 350 degrees F over medium heat.
Combine the turkey, spinach, mascarpone, cilantro, onion, coriander, chili powder, 2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper in a bowl and mix to combine. Evenly distribute the filling among the tortillas. Roll the tortillas up tightly and fasten at both ends with a toothpick.
In batches, gently fry the taquitos for 2 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
For the relish: Combine the avocados, tomatoes, lime juice, serrano, cilantro, green onions, gravy, honey, 2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl and mix gently.
Serve two taquitos to a plate, with relish spooned over the top.
