TIPS FOR MAKING THE BEST TURKEY ROLL UPS
- You can use whipped cream cheese to ensure an easier spread on the tortilla.
- Make sure when rolling up your tortilla, roll it tightly so the roll ups don't fall apart.
- Other additional ingredients you can add are: sliced tomatoes, mashed avocado, olives, spinach, sprouts, and sliced cucumbers. If you want to add more you can use a larger sized tortilla so they don't break when rolling.
- If you serve these for a party, you can insert a toothpick to seal them to ensure they won't fall apart and they will be easy to pick up.
INGREDIENTS NEEDED TO MAKE TURKEY AND CHEDDAR LUNCH ROLL UPS
- Cream cheese: flavored cream cheeses such as onion and chive, sun dried tomato or herb spreads work great and adds flavor!
- Salt + pepper: adds flavor
- Green onion: if your making this for kids, you can omit the onions if you prefer
- Deli turkey: salami, ham, and roast beef are other great alternatives or you can use a combination of any of these
- Sliced cheddar cheese: Swiss cheese, Havarti, Jack, Mozzarella, and Pepper Jack work great in this recipe too
- Tortillas: if you want to make this a healthier option, use whole wheat tortillas
- Shredded lettuce: adds a bit of crunch and color
HOW TO MAKE TURKEY ROLL UPS
- In a small bowl, mix together the softened cream cheese, green onions, salt and pepper until combined.
- Lay one tortilla flat on a cutting board and spread half of the cream cheese mixture all the way to the edges. This will act like the "glue" and seal the tortillas together.
- Sprinkle half of the lettuce on the the tortilla and then layer 3 slices of turkey and 2 pieces of cheese. Be sure to place the turkey and cheese on the left side of the tortilla but not touching the edge. Start by rolling one end of the tortilla gently but tightly. Roll until the tortilla is completely rolled up and press your finger to seal the tortilla roll ups. Add more cream cheese if needed to seal more. Continue with the remaning tortilla.
- Cut each tortilla roll up in half and then cut each half into 5 pieces and remove the unfilled ends or keep them to eat! Serve and enjoy!
LEFTOVERS
You can store these roll ups in an airtight container for up to 4 days. If they are not stored properly the cream cheese will become dry and possibly crack.
