A Lunch Idea!

Need a quick, light lunch? Try this or a variation of it.

Marie's Turkey Rollup (This is a basic rollup- get creative with seasonings and veggies...have fun!)

1 whole wheat tortilla- 130 calories, 3g of fat, and 4 g of protein.
(I used Mission "Life Balance" soft taco size, but any comparable brand will do)
1 wedge of Laughing Cow "Light" Original Swiss Cheese Flavor- 35 calories
2-3 oz of lean turkey breast- I used Hillshire Farm Ultra Thin...about 3 oz.
Oregano leaves (optional) (you could also use a little ranch dip seasoning, but use small amounts so as not to over season!)

Grand Total= 240 calories, 6.5g fat, 19g protein

To assemble, lay tortilla flat on plate; spread cheese wedge over entire tortilla. Next, sprinkle with desired amount of oregano (I like a lot!). Then top with turkey. Roll up like a pinwheel. Enjoy by itself or with a portion of low-fat string cheese.

There is many variations of this you could do. You could add any veggies you want including, lettuce or spinach leaves. Keep in mind as you alter ingredients and brand names the calorie count will change.

As a whole, our family has attempted to change to organic and all natural products. However, on occasion we run out of certain items and must use what we can until able to restock.
