Deluxe Roasted Turkey Wraps just 40 Days till the Wedding!

A couple of months ago I got engaged to the most amazing man in the world. His name is Noah. I love to cook and can't wait to make Noah dinners every night so I decided to start writing this blog so I can share my quick, easy and delicious recipes with everyone. However, there is a catch. I have my Bachelors in Nutrition and always only cook healthfully. I also happen to be one of the cheapest people that you will ever meet, so I need to catch deals at the market and shop responsibly on a newlywed budget. And lastly, we're also Kosher. So needless to say, I spend 3x as much time at the grocery store checking for nutrition facts, prices and kosher symbols on every item.

We just signed the lease on our new place and I started living here before the wedding. Although I won't be able to officially blog full force until after our wedding  when we are living together, I'm going to get started on the meals that I make us when he comes over (in between building furniture, finding space for our oddly shaped wedding gifts, and constantly straightening up). 

ON TONIGHTS MENU:  Deluxe Roasted Turkey Wraps 

Total Time: 6 minutes
Serving Size: 1 wrap 
Note: 1 was more than filling for me. Noah is 6"3 and a growing boy, so he had 2

Ingredients (per 1 wrap)
Note: ...=Calories per item- in case you want to substitue an ingredient.

1 Mission Multi-Grain Tortilla ...150
2 Slices of Empire Turkey Salami...50 
4 Slices of Empire Smoked Turkey Breast Slices...45 
1 T. Sweet and Sour Mustard...10 
2 thin slices of Avocado...40
1/4 Red Pepper...5
1 T. "Eel" Sauce (leftover from Noah's sushi the night before) or Teriyake Sauce...20 
Garlic Salt to Taste

Start by washing and julianning your pepper. On a great grill pan, like my trusty Calphon, lightly spray with PAM and start grilling your red peppers- I like to sprinkle Garlic Salt over them. After 2 minutes, add your meat slices and flip when slightly brown. After another minute or so, add your wrap and wait 30 seconds before assembling. To assemble: first squirt the mustard down the center. Next, stack the meat, followed by the grilled peppers and sliced avocado. Lastly, top off with the eel sauce or teriyake sauce.  Enjoy!
