Lavish Bread Ham Wrap

Lavish Bread Ham Wrap

Have you tried Lavish Bread?  I love using it for a wrap.  I made this one with Ham, but you can use any lunch meat - works great with Turkey too.  It is all about the layering of flavors so feel free to use the seasonings of your choice.

The first layer is Philadelphia Jalapeno Cream Cheese   - spread over the flat bread.  Then add a couple slices of cheese - I used Baby Swiss.

Next add thinly sliced tomatoes and cucumbers.  You can also add sliced onions at this step.  I pre-seasoned these with salt & pepper after slicing.  Add any other seasonings you want.  I also patted them dry with a paper towel prior to adding them to the bread.  I also spread a little ranch dressing on it.

Now add baby spinach and lettuce of your choice.

Add the luncheon meat of your choice.  I used ham in this one - pat it dry before adding it.  Turkey works well or a combination of all your favorites meats.

Now roll it up - notice I left the very end without anything added - whenever I roll these, all the ingredients slide a little  - this helps keep it neat.  But, you may know a different trick!  Now it's ready to eat.  These do tend to get soggy if you leave them in the refrigerator so I would not recommend making them too far ahead.

 

Baked Turkey Meatballs

 

.
I wanted to try making turkey meatballs, but in the oven rather than frying them. They turned out very tasty, but you definitely need to serve these with sauce. I used a simple jar sauce that I jazzed up a little with a few spices. Then, I topped them with grated parmesean cheese.

Turkey Pastrami Casserole

The inspiration for this casserole came from a Reuben dip I tried at a party.  It was so good, everyone was wanting to know who made the Reuben casserole!  Have you ever tried turkey pastrami?  It’s actually very flavorful, but a little goes a long way.  I was trying to think of something to do with the leftovers when I remembered the Reuben dip and decided to use the pastrami in place of corned beef.
