Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Wash the lettuce leaves thoroughly under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel.
- Slice the turkey ham into strips for easier wrapping.
- In a small bowl, crumble or soften the goat cheese for easier spreading.
- Coarsely chop the peanuts and set aside.
- Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash it with a fork until smooth or chunky, depending on your preference.
- Wash the red pepper, remove the seeds, and slice it into thin strips.
- Lay out each lettuce leaf flat on a clean surface.
- Spread about 1 tablespoon of the mashed avocado down the center of each lettuce leaf.
- Place an equal portion of turkey ham strips on top of the avocado.
- Add a few strips of red pepper over the turkey.
- Sprinkle each wrap with crumbled goat cheese and chopped peanuts.
- Carefully roll or fold the lettuce leaves around the filling as tightly as possible without tearing the leaf. You can secure the wraps with a toothpick if needed.
- Arrange the wraps on a serving platter.
- Serve immediately as a fresh and light meal or snack.
Tips:
- Choose fresh, crisp lettuce leaves to ensure they hold the filling well and provide a nice crunch.
- Consider using a mix of butterhead or romaine lettuce for varied textures.
- Ensure the goat cheese is softened to make spreading onto the turkey slices easier.
- For added flavor, lightly toast the peanuts before adding them to the wraps.
- Slice the red pepper into thin strips for easy wrapping and to evenly distribute its sweet crunch.
- Use a ripe avocado for a creamy texture, and prevent browning by squeezing a bit of lemon juice over it after slicing.
- To hold the wraps together more securely, you can use a toothpick or wrap them in parchment paper.
- Serve immediately after preparation to maintain the fresh and crisp nature of the ingredients.
