Low Carb Turkey Pesto Roll Up

How to Make a Low Carb Wrap or Roll-Up

1. Choose your vegetable wrap: This recipe uses thin cucumber slices as the wrap for the sandwiches. Other options include iceberg or Romaine lettuce, kale, zucchini slices, yellow squash slices, or collard greens. For a larger wrap, layer a few pieces of lettuce on top of each other to create a larger wrap that stays together.
2. Chose a condiment: Next, you will want to add flavor. This recipe uses pesto, ranch dressing, whole grain mustard, mango salsa, or hummus.
3. Add protein: There are so many different protein options for these low carb sandwiches. For something quick and easy, use deli meat like sliced turkey breast, ham, roast beef, or pastrami. Canned tuna or salmon also works. Consider rotisserie chicken or leftover cooked proteins. Lastly, you could use homemade chicken or tuna salad.  
4. Reach for crunchy veggies and greens: Pick up some crunchy veggies like bell peppers, carrots, or celery to add some crispy elements. Then add some greens like baby spinach, mixed greens, or sprouts. 
5. Wrap it up: To finish, wrap it up all up. Carefully roll the vegetable wrap, rolling it tightly as you go. Secure with a toothpick as you go or serve with the seam side down.
