In the kitchen with Kelley: Turkey And Avocado Roll-Ups

Ever since my children were young, I’ve made roll-ups for them. Ham and cheese was a favorite. I’d place a slice of American cheese on a piece of deli ham, roll it up and slice it into pinwheels. But these days, we eat healthier. We now know that American cheese is fake food, so it’s no longer one of our refrigerator staples. But here’s a roll-up that is almost as easy to make as the ham-and-cheese one, and it’s much healthier.

Redbook calls Turkey and Avocado Roll-Ups “a no-carb, protein-rich snack that slows digestion and prevents cravings later on.”

And here’s some good news about organic turkey from The World’s Healthiest Foods:

Turkey has recently been shown to fall into a group of high-protein foods (including tuna and egg whites) that can help keep post-meal insulin levels within a desirable range. The common link found between these foods is protein richness. Four ounces of skinned turkey breast will provide 30-35 grams of protein, with less than 1 gram of total fat.
