Turkey and Avocado Roll-Ups
These Turkey and Avocado Roll-Ups are a light, healthy, and delicious snack or lunch option bursting with fresh flavors and creamy goodness.
Equipment
- Cutting Board
- Sharp Knife
- Plate
- Plastic wrap (optional)
Ingredients
- 8 slices deli turkey thin, fat-free, sulfate and nitrate-free options recommended
- 1/4 cup basil pesto fresh and flavorful spread
- 1/2 avocado pit removed, peeled, and sliced very thin
- 1 cup bean sprouts for crunch and nuttiness
Instructions
- Start by gathering all of your ingredients. Slice the avocado into thin pieces and set aside.
- On a flat surface or a large plate, lay out one slice of turkey. Spread about 1 tablespoon of basil pesto evenly over the turkey slice, covering it completely.
- Place a few thin slices of avocado on top of the pesto-covered turkey. Arrange them in a single layer for even distribution of flavor.
- Add a handful of bean sprouts on top of the avocado slices. This will give your roll-ups a nice crunch.
- Starting at one end, carefully roll the turkey slice tightly around the fillings. Make sure to keep everything inside as you roll.
- Once rolled, you can slice the roll-up into bite-sized pieces or serve it whole. Repeat the process for the remaining turkey slices.
Notes
- Make sure your avocado is ripe for the best flavor and creaminess.
- Feel free to experiment with different types of pesto, like sun-dried tomato or roasted garlic.
- For a spicy kick, add some sliced jalapeños or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes.
- You can use lettuce leaves instead of turkey slices for a low-carb option.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one day.
