Stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons oil, the lime juice, the jalapeno, the scallion, the orange juice, the cilantro, salt and pepper to taste. Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature. Press about 2 tablespoons 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-inch lengths, trimming the ends. Make rolls with the remaining turkey, couscous mixture, avocado and pepper strips in the same manner.
