Ingredients

  • 6 oz. Organic Sliced Turkey Breast, Packet
  • ¼ cup Dijon Mustard
  • 4 Dill Pickles, Sliced Into Quarters
  • 1 Head Iceberg Lettuce, Torn Into Wraps

Preparation

Step 1

Gently wash and separate the leaves of the iceberg lettuce, creating large, sturdy wraps. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towel.

Step 2

Lay the lettuce wrap on a clean, flat surface. These will serve as the tortillas for your roll-ups.

Step 3

Spread the dijon mustard evenly over each lettuce wrap. Adjust the amount to your taste preferences.

Step 4

Take the organic sliced turkey breast and place a portion onto each lettuce wrap. You can slightly overlap the turkey slices to ensure the roll-ups hold together.

Step 5

Lay a quarter slice of dill pickle on top of the turkey. This will add a delicious tangy crunch to your roll-ups.

Step 6

Carefully roll up each lettuce wrap, ensuring that the turkey and pickle are enclosed. You can secure the roll-up with a toothpick or simply place it seam-side down.
