Cucumber and Turkey Roll-Ups

Ingredients

• Sliced turkey breast 100 g
• Cucumber 1/2 medium
• Cream cheese low-fat 1 tbsp

Method

1. Prepare the cucumber. Wash the cucumber thoroughly. Using a vegetable peeler or a sharp knife, slice the cucumber lengthwise into thin, long strips about 1/8 inch thick. This will make them flexible enough to roll without breaking.
   Tip: If the cucumber seeds are large, you can scrape them out gently with a spoon to avoid excess moisture.
2. Prepare the cream cheese. Scoop 1 tablespoon of low-fat cream cheese into a small bowl. Let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften, making it easier to spread smoothly.
   Tip: If you want, you can mix in a pinch of black pepper or herbs like dill for extra flavor.
3. Assemble the roll-ups. Lay out a slice of turkey breast flat on a clean surface. Spread a thin layer of the softened cream cheese evenly over the turkey slice. Place 2-3 cucumber strips on one edge of the turkey slice. Carefully roll the turkey around the cucumber strips, starting from the edge with the cucumber to form a tight roll.
   Tip: Use gentle pressure to roll tightly but avoid tearing the turkey slice.
4. Serve and enjoy. Place the roll-ups on a serving plate. You can secure them with toothpicks if needed. Serve immediately as a fresh snack or appetizer.
   Tip: Chill in the refrigerator for 10 minutes before serving if you prefer a cooler snack.

Pro tips

• Use a vegetable peeler for uniform thin cucumber slices.
• Softening cream cheese before spreading helps prevent tearing the turkey slices.
