Turkey and Laughing Cow Roll Ups

This lunch idea was inspired by a pin and I'm slightly obsessed right now. I'm a wrap-making failure. They never stay together, all the ingredients fall out, and the wrap itself is always soggy after being in the fridge. I have since found the perfect cast of ingredients and will probably be eating this for lunch the rest of the summer.

Step-by-step

  • Mix the cucumber, green onion, cheese, yogurt, and ranch all together until mixed well.
  • Spread half on both wraps and top each wrap with two slices of turkey.
  • Roll up and cut in half to enjoy immensely.

The Moisture Problem

Swapping plain Greek yogurt for mayonnaise lowers the fat content while maintaining a thick consistency, but cucumber introduces free water. Dice the cucumber to one-half inch pieces and salt them in a colander for fifteen minutes to draw out excess liquid before mixing. Skipping this step breaks down the crumb of the flat bread within two hours of assembly.

Binding Mechanics

Blending three wedges of soft cow cheese directly into five ounces of yogurt creates a spreadable adhesive that seals the perimeter of the flat bread. Stir two teaspoons of dry seasoning thoroughly until no lumps remain. Spread this mixture evenly to the very edge of the bread to create a moisture barrier against the turkey.

Pairing and Plate Balance

Serve these halves alongside raw sugar snap peas or lightly dressed bitter greens. Acidic vinaigrettes cut through the dairy richness of the cheese spread. Keep the cut rolls in an airtight glass container for no longer than twenty-four hours to preserve the structural integrity of the wrap.
