Italian Turkey and Mozzarella Roll-Ups with Herbed Cottage Cheese
Roasted turkey breast, part-skim mozzarella, and herbed 2% cottage cheese roll up into a no-cook snack with 37g protein per serving. Cottage cheese replaces the usual cream cheese spread. Easy to pack, and also works as a quick lunch.

Ingredients
- 16 oz low-sodium oven-roasted turkey breast, thin-sliced

- 0.25 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
- 0.25 tsp red pepper flakes
Instructions
- 1
Stir cottage cheese, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, black pepper, and red pepper flakes together in the bowl. If you want it smoother, mash it with a fork.

Pull each mozzarella stick lengthwise into 4 strips.

Overlap 2 turkey slices on the board and spread with about 1 tablespoon of the cottage cheese mixture.

Lay a mozzarella strip, a red pepper strip, and a basil leaf at one end, then roll it up tightly.

Repeat with the rest of the ingredients. You should get about 4 roll-ups per serving.
