Add the chickpeas, avocado, tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, cumin, turmeric, and salt to a food processor. Process for about 30 seconds, until the mixture is roughly combined.

With the processor running, stream in 2 tablespoons of ice water. Continue processing for 2–3 minutes, scraping down the sides once halfway through, until the hummus is very smooth and creamy. Add the remaining tablespoon of ice water if needed to reach a thick but spreadable consistency.
