Ingredients
  

  • 8 slices deli turkey breast
  • 4 slices reduced-fat cheddar cheese
  • ½ medium cucumber cut into thin strips
  • ¼ cup softened cream cheese
  • 1 teaspoon everything bagel seasoning
  • Leaf lettuce optional
  • Mustard optional

Instructions
 

  • Wash the cucumber thoroughly under cool running water and pat it completely dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towel.
  • Place the cucumber on a cutting board and slice it into thin matchstick-sized strips that will fit easily inside the roll-ups.
  • Lay all 8 turkey slices flat on a clean cutting board or work surface, arranging them in a single layer for easy assembly.
  • If the turkey slices are small, slightly overlap two slices together to create larger roll-ups that hold the filling more securely.
  • Allow the cream cheese to soften at room temperature for several minutes, then spread a thin, even layer over each turkey slice using the back of a spoon or a butter knife.
  • Cut each slice of cheddar cheese in half and place one piece on top of each turkey slice, positioning it near the center.
  • Add several cucumber strips on top of the cheese, keeping the vegetables centered so they remain inside the roll-up when rolled.
  • If using lettuce or mustard, add a small amount at this stage, being careful not to overfill the turkey slices.
  • Starting from one end, carefully roll each turkey slice tightly around the cheese and cucumber filling until a compact roll-up forms.
  • Place the completed roll-ups seam-side down on a serving plate or tray to help them maintain their shape.
  • Sprinkle the tops with everything bagel seasoning for extra flavor and texture.
  • Serve immediately or refrigerate for 15 to 20 minutes before serving for a firmer texture and enhanced flavor.
