Trying to stay away from carbs? Then this is for you! Turkey and Cheese Cucumber Roll-Ups are the perfect snacks or main addition to your meal! We love to have appetizer nights so these fit perfectly, we also make Shrimp Lettuce Cups and Grilled Chicken Skewers. It’s a huge hit.
Turkey and Cheese Cucumber Roll-Ups use fresh cucumber slices to replace high-carb foods like bread or tortillas. I can give these to my kids for a quick lunch or snack and know that it is a healthier option than most of what they choose at snack time.
They also love them so that helps 😉
What You Need

How to Make Turkey and Cheese Cucumber Roll-Ups
Thinly slice cucumber with a mandoline (if you don’t have one, use a vegetable peeler).
Lay out cucumber slices.
Spread mustard on each cucumber slice. Add slices of turkey on top. Break up turkey pieces to fit, if necessary. Next, break cheese slices in half on top of the turkey.
Starting at one end, roll up, trying to keep it tight (but not too tight, or everything will start to slide out).
Secure each with a toothpick, or add a few roll-ups to a long skewer.
These are so good. What snack ideas do you come up with to be healthier?
