Autumn Turkey Club Wrap
Autumn is my favorite time of year as you may well know. I’m always looking for ways to celebrate this bountiful season. Hearty greens, flavorful root vegetables, zingy cranberries and a myriad of harvest favorites pour out at Farmer’s Markets. Local growers and specialty grocers are also a great resource for your meal planning.
This little wrap is a great introductory to the Fall harvest. Hearty kale, spinach and sweet carrots compliment the smoky bacon and creamy goat cheese. Adding turkey breast just sends it over the edge! These are perfect platter-ed up for a party or as a salad by itself. The ingredients are simple. The flavors are simple. The results are satisfying. This recipe can easily transform into a vegan option. Try smoked tofu, vegan cheese, vegan baconbits, and vegan wraps and you have a wonderful substitute for animal protein.
The real treat to this salad or wrap is the dressing. I have linked my Blood Orange & Shallot Vinaigrette which is what makes this ditty “pop”. I’m in love with this vinaigrette! Being dairy free with no processed sugar makes this another win. As a drizzle, as an accompaniment or marinade, it works. Added as a dressing to this Autumn Turkey Club Wrap, you have a great start to your Harvest season!
