Too Good Turkey Bacon Wrap
*I couldn't find the recipe online and I'm too lazy to write it all down from the cook book so you're going to get the watered down version*
Ingredients:
*1 slice of low fat American Cheddar Cheese for every wrap (I couldn't find this in my grocery store so i just went with marble)
*Lettuce (I say just bring a head of lettuce out of the fridge and let people take however much they want in their wrap)
*Boneless skinless turkey breast (For two people I had 2 regular sized ones of these)
*Whole wheat Tortilla wrap shells 2-4 depending on how much you want
*4 slices fat free turkey bacon (I know I know, it's no substitute for real bacon but trust me mixed with everything else it's fabulous)
*1/2 a cucumber sliced and diced
*1/2 a red pepper sliced and diced
*1 tablespoon of light mayo
*1 tablespoon sunflower oil
*1 clove of garlic, diced or put through one of those garlic presses
*5 mushrooms cut up into bite sized peices
Heat up a large wok/frying pan and put in the tablespoon of sunflower oil. Put close to full heat depending on your stove top. (I like to start on high because for one, I'm an impatient fat chick who wants her food NOW. I just make sure to keep an eye out to make sure i'm not burning anything)
While the pan is heating up chop up your boneless skinless turkey breast into small, bite sized pieces. When the sunflower oil is heated up put in your turkey and turn the heat to just above medium heat. This is a good time to get your red pepper chopped up and your garlic pressed. Once your turkey has begun turning white, add the veggies and garlic into the pan and cook for 5 minutes being careful to stir everything as you go to make sure that it all gets properly cooked.
When everything is cooked put it all into a large bowl. If you have a separate frying pan then feel free to cook the turkey bacon in that while you make your turkey and veggie mix in the other. If you don't have another pan just cook the turkey bacon in the same frying pan that you cooked the first ingredients in. When the turkey bacon has bacon has become crispy to your liking tear it into little pieces and add it to the bowl that has the skinless turkey/red pepper mix and mix them all together. This is the time to add the cucumber as well.
Once everything is in the bowl this is a good time to add that tablespoon of low fat mayo, mixing thoroughly. If you want, you can put the tortilla shells in the micro wave for 10 seconds to heat them up a bit. When they are ready put a few slices of lettuce on them and one slice of cheese* on each and then finish off with the turkey/veggie mixture. Wrap as you like and Voila! You are done and have a delicious, healthy, easy dinner!
*When I made this for the first time I made the mistake of shredding the cheese into little, hard to see pieces. Consequently my man child saw a tiny bit of cheese in my wrap and was jealous because he didn't see any in his. Cheese jealousy is the worst. The situation could have become rather out of hand if I hadn't gone to the kitchen and come back with his very own slice of cheese.
The Verdict
I really loved this dinner and thought it was very tasty. My manchild, although not quite as enthusiastic as me (even with the cheese! Sometimes manchildren are hard to please! I think I just inadvertently made a rap-no pun intended) seemed to enjoy it as well. In fact he gave it 4 out of 5 Autobots.
Anyway that's all for now. I definitely recommend trying this one out. It will make your manchild stroke his manly beard with happiness.
