Turkey roll-ups with paprika and garlic sauce

May 27, 2010 | Leave a Comment


Years ago I was following the South beach diet  so to have a wide selection of alternative meals, I bought most of the books written by dr. Agatston. I really liked the recipes and I still make a lot of them. I found the recipes very simple and appetizing, and certainly not fat if you follow a certain eating regime.

I’ve always liked the snack ideas most and turkey roll-ups became my favorites. Hard to say why maybe because they’re so different from typical Italian snacks. The recipe I liked has cilantro mayonnaise and seeing that I don’t find cilantro very often in my store I changed the recipe and substituted the cilantro with paprika and garlic powder.

I used to bring my two rolls at work and eat them in the morning. My colleagues were all jealous and I don’t blame them, because they really looked scrumptious. My parents fell in love with them too and often serve them as an appetizer, especially in the summer.

Turkey roll-ups with paprika and garlic sauce

Ingredients:

4 slices deli turkey
4 medium lettuce leaves
4 Tbsp. mayonnaise*
1/4 heaping tsp. paprika
1/8 scant tsp. not salted garlic powder

To enrich the filling you can either add:
slices of tomatoes
bell pepper strips
cucumbers or other vegetables of your choice

Preparation:

In a small bowl combine mayonnaise, paprika and garlic powder. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes so that the flavors will blend together. This sauce can be kept in the fridge for few days if you have leftovers.
Spread each slice of  turkey with 1 Tablespoon mayo mixture, top it with a lettuce leave.
Roll them up and serve.

Notes:

* If you want a lighter snack substitute half of the mayo with Greek yogurt or sour cream.
