Yummy Turkey Roll-up

I always craved fresh cold turkey sandwiches after my chemo rounds, which lasted for 5 hours every 3 weeks.  I don't know why, I just did so it was routine after almost every chemo day I would have a cold turkey sandwich and this roll-up was a tasty go-to. 


Turkey Roll-Up with Cranberry- Orange Relish

Serves: 1

Prep time: 15 minutes

Ingredients

½ Unpeeled orange, seeded and halved

½ Unpeeled apple, seeded and halved

1 (16oz) Can whole cranberry sauce

1 (8-inch) Whole wheat or spinach tortilla

2 Leaves romaine or iceberg lettuce

2 Large slices of roasted turkey breast or rotisserie chicken breast

 

Preparation

  1.  In a food processor, pulse the orange until coarsely chopped, add the apple and pulse until both are finely chopped, transfer to a bowl and add cranberry sauce, stirring well to combine.
  2. Spread ¼ cup of the cranberry mixture over tortilla, layer the turkey and lettuce on half of the tortilla, roll up jellyroll style, beginning with the meat side, slice into 2-inch pieces.
