Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 8 slices deli turkey breast, preferably low-sodium
- 1 large ripe avocado, mashed
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro or parsley, finely chopped (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- Baby spinach or arugula leaves (optional for filling)
Instructions
- Prepare the Avocado Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the mashed avocado with softened cream cheese, fresh lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder (if using). Mix thoroughly until smooth and well blended.
- Spread on Turkey Slices: Lay the turkey slices flat on a clean surface. Spread a thin, even layer of the avocado mixture over each slice, ensuring full coverage for flavor in every bite.
- Add Greens (Optional): Place a few baby spinach or arugula leaves on top of the avocado layer if you prefer a fresh, leafy texture.
- Roll Up: Carefully roll each turkey slice tightly, starting from one end and rolling to the other, then place seam-side down to keep them secure.
- Serve or Store: Serve the roll-ups immediately for best freshness or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 24 hours before serving.
Notes
- For extra protein, add thin strips of cooked bacon or a slice of cheese before rolling.
- These roll-ups are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
