Turkey Wraps with Squash Medley

Turkey Wraps with a Squash Medley


This little dish I put together is great for weekend entertaining. One weekend my mom came to stay with me I made them for our lunch and she absolutely
loved them. Squash and zucchini are two of our all time favorites, so I decided to throw the medley in as our side dish! Try them together or separate, they're both great either way. Here's what I did:

Turkey Wraps
Take an all natural turkey sandwich meat, one that is not too thick or thin and is long enough to wrap up.
Lay down 4-5 leaves of fresh baby spinach across the turkey.
Add a few thinly sliced rings of onion on top of the spinach.
Top your wrap off with a light drizzle of fat-free zesty Italian dressing.
Carefully fold the turkey over, creating a wrap (you can hold it together with a toothpick if needed).
Bake for approximately 10 min in a 350 degree oven, or until the turkey is warm.
Serve warm.

Squash Medley
Take 1 medium squash and 1 medium zucchini. Use a mandolin to make a thin julienne or a chef's knife to make thin rounds.
Place in a large bowl and add about 3/4 tsp Almond Oil and 1 small packet of Italian seasoning.
Toss to coat all veggies.
Cook over a medium heat, until veggies are soft.

And there you have it. Both simple, yet flavorful dishes. You can serve the turkey wraps cold on a hot summer (and fall if you live in the South!) day for a refreshing treat. You can serve the squash with a sauteed or grilled chicken.
The possibilities are endless. Both include healthy, low fat and low calorie ingredients, so incorporate them into as many meals, in as many ways, as you can think of.

Always remember, you can have fun, eat great, and stay healthy all at the same time! :)
