Turkey, kale and goat cheese roll-ups with lettuce FAQ:

What is the best way to store leftover roll-ups?

Store leftover roll-ups in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They can last for up to 2 days. However, the texture may change as the lettuce can wilt over time.

Can I use other types of greens instead of kale?

Yes, you can substitute kale with other leafy greens like spinach or arugula, depending on your flavor preference and available ingredients.

How can I ensure the roll-ups stay intact?

To keep the roll-ups from unrolling, secure them with a toothpick after rolling. Additionally, make sure to roll tightly without tearing the turkey ham.

What is the recommended serving size for this recipe?

This recipe makes three roll-ups, which is typically one serving. You can adjust the number of ingredients if you need to serve more people.

Can I make these roll-ups ahead of time?

While these roll-ups are best served fresh, you can prepare them a few hours in advance. Just be aware that the lettuce may lose its crispness.

Tips:

- Choose fresh ingredients: Ensure that the lettuce and kale are fresh and crisp to provide the best texture and flavor.

- Spread the goat cheese evenly: Using a small spatula or the back of a spoon, spread the goat cheese evenly across the turkey slices for consistent flavor in each bite.

- Roll tightly: When rolling up the turkey, kale, and goat cheese, roll them tightly to keep the ingredients together and make the roll-ups easier to handle.

- Secure with toothpicks: If needed, use toothpicks to hold the roll-ups together, especially if you plan to serve them at a party or gathering.

- Experiment with variations: Feel free to add additional ingredients like sliced avocado, bell peppers, or a drizzle of balsamic glaze to elevate the flavors even further.
