Notes
Key Prep Tips
- Choose High-Quality Deli Turkey: Use fresh, high-quality turkey slices to ensure the best taste and texture.
- Prep Vegetables Ahead: Chop and prepare vegetables in advance to save time and ensure a smooth assembly process.
- Layer Strategically: Place sturdier vegetables, like bell peppers or cucumber, at the bottom to prevent the roll-ups from becoming soggy.
- Secure with Toothpicks: To keep the roll-ups intact, especially for parties or meal prep, use toothpicks or small skewers.
- Customize Sizes: Cut the roll-ups into bite-sized pieces for easier handling, especially if serving to kids.
Suggested Variations
- Change the Protein: Swap turkey with ham, chicken slices, or roast beef for variety.
- Vegetarian Option: Replace the turkey with large lettuce leaves and add extra veggies like shredded carrots or sliced avocado.
- Add Cheese: Include slices of cheddar, Swiss, or provolone cheese for added flavor.
- Spice It Up: Spread a layer of spicy mustard, hummus, or pesto to elevate the flavor.
- Boost Crunch: Add julienned carrots, radishes, or sunflower seeds for a satisfying crunch.
Serving Suggestions
- Lunch Box Staple: Pack with a side of fresh fruit, nuts, or crackers for a balanced and portable meal.
