I just made the weirdest sandwich-type thing ever for supper, and it was so oddly and unexpectedly delicious that I marched straight to this computer as soon as I was finished so that I could tell you all about it.
I KNOW! I’m a giver like that.
(Plus, Melanie is in Houston tonight listening to Beth Moore’s teaching and Travis Cottrell’s singing, and normally I would just call her about four times to talk about what we ate for supper, but since she would probably prefer to have some uninterrupted praise and worship time, I’m gonna “call” the internet instead.)
(I just appreciate y’all being here more than you know.)
(Anyhoo.)
I found this recipe when I was looking for something different to take to a Christmas party (as much as I adore chocolate, my sweet tooth gets a little worn out this time of year), and since I thought these wraps would be mostly savory with just a hint of sweet to remind you that HEY! IT’S CHRISTMAS! WE MUST NOT ABANDON THE SUGAR!, I decided to give them a try.
And I found them to be delightful.

Festive Turkey Roll-Ups
6 (8-inch) flour tortillas
1/2 cup hot pepper jelly with red jalapeño peppers
1/2 cup red raspberry preserves
3/4 cup Ranch vegetable dip (I mixed half a package of Ranch dip mix with 8 oz. of sour cream)
12 thinly sliced turkey breast slices, halved
1 bunch green leaf lettuce
1 1/2 cups (6 oz.) shredded Colby Jack cheese
– Mix together Ranch dip ingredients.
– Microwave tortillas on HIGH 10 to 15 seconds, and set aside.
– Stir together jelly and preserves.
– Spread 2 Tbsp. Ranch dip on 1 side of each tortilla. Top each tortilla with 4 turkey slice halves, and spread with 2 1/2 Tbsp. jelly mixture. Top tortillas evenly with lettuce and cheese.
– Roll up tortillas; wrap with plastic wrap. Chill up to 8 hours.
We cut a couple of roll-ups in half and ate them like sandwiches, and y’all, THEY WERE TASTY. Plus, you’ve got the red of the preserves next to the green of the lettuce, so they really ARE “festive” turkey wraps.
Oh, I adore a theme.
Enjoy, everybody – and have a wonderful weekend!
