Is anyone else still immobilized in your post-Christmas cocoon? I’m gradually working up the energy to start being productive again…we’ll see how that goes. (Exhibit A: I started this extremely short post 2 days ago and am just now getting around to the Publish button.)
In the mean time, I’ll start powering up with simple, wholesome, and satisfying meals like this turkey apple goat cheese wrap. The textures are ON POINT with creamy avocado and goat cheese, juicy crisp apple and red onion, some meatiness, and a toasty crunch from the walnuts. And the sweet-savory-tangy-herby flavor is unbeatable–lunchtime party in your mouth.
If you have any leftover turkey from the holidays, this a fantastic way to use it up. (But if your family is like mine and devours all the meat, deli turkey also works perfectly.)
Some easy ideas for rounding out the meal:
- Roasted Vegetable Multi-Grain {GF} Crackers from Crunchmaster (shown above…seriously go order some NOW)
- Sea Salt Roasted Chickpeas from The Good Bean (one of my other fav crunchy salty snacks)
- raw veggies and hummus
- green salad
- cup of soup (black bean, veggie, minestrone)
- anything dunked in nut butter
- Other favorites?
Turkey Apple Goat Cheese Wrap

Instructions
