I plan lunch for the bridesmaids before hunger encroaches.
Between the salon and the church the ladies will eat
True Love Turkey Wraps: oh, what a treat!
Low-sodium, low-fat, leaving eaters with pleasant breath
These bite-sized sandwiches met Christine's every request.
The will sustain the bride until she announces "I do!"
And kisses her groom; her love is so true.
Servings: 18 pieces, enough for about 5-6 people
Ingredients:
1/2 package Trader Joe's whole wheat lavash (I used three of the six wraps in the package)
14 oz. sliced turkey
3 cups arugula
8 oz. light cream cheese
1/3 c. sun-dried tomatoes
1. Chop sun-dried tomatoes finely and mix into light cream cheese.
2. Spread 1/3 of sun-dried tomato/cream cheese mixture onto one wrap.
3. Spread 1/3 of sliced turkey on cream cheese mixture. Make sure to leave a one-inch margin at the long edge of the wrap with just cream cheese, so when you roll it up the wrap the edge sticks to the outside of the wrap.
4. Sprinkle 1 cup of arugula over the turkey.
5. Roll up the wrap and slice into six pieces using a serrated knife so the wrap doesn't get smushed.
6. Repeat with the next two wraps.
7. Serve to your beautiful bride!
Notes: I made these one day ahead of time and they were still delicious. I blotted the turkey with a paper towel before layering it in the wrap to make sure that it wouldn't make everything soggy. I think these wraps would be even better with shredded chicken, but the turkey was a cheap and easy alternative for a hectic weekend.
More wrap ideas:
shredded chicken; goat cheese mixed with green chiles; roasted red pepper
hummus; red onion; thinly sliced cucumber; sprouts
turkey; thinkly sliced artichoke hearts; cream cheese mixed with feta; olives; roasted red pepper
smoked salmon; cream cheese mixed with capers, shallots, and lemon zest; spinach
roast beef; cream cheese mixed with blue cheese; red onion; arugula
