Prepare the cucumber.
Wash the small cucumber thoroughly under running water. Using a sharp knife, slice the cucumber into thin, even rounds about 1/8 inch thick. Set aside on a plate.
Tip: For extra crispness, you can chill the cucumber in the fridge before slicing. -
Arrange the turkey jerky.
Take 1.5 oz of turkey jerky from the package. If the pieces are large, cut them into bite-sized strips or chunks for easier eating. Place them neatly next to the cucumber slices on the plate.
Tip: Choose lean turkey jerky to keep fat content moderate. -
Add healthy fats and protein boost.
To meet the target calories and macros, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil drizzled over the cucumber slices. Then, add half a cup of plain Greek yogurt on the side as a creamy dip or accompaniment. This will increase protein and healthy fats to reach the nutritional goals.
Tip: Greek yogurt adds creaminess and extra protein without many carbs. -
Serve and enjoy.
