Ingredients
  

  • 4 slices deli turkey low-sodium, no honey or sugar glazes
  • 4 slices Swiss cheese or cheddar, thin-sliced
  • 12 leaves fresh spinach washed and dried
  • 2 teaspoons spicy brown mustard or Dijon mustard
  • 4 spears dill pickle patted dry with paper towel

Equipment

Method
 

  1. Lay one slice of turkey flat on a clean cutting board or work surface.
  2. Spread 1/2 teaspoon of spicy brown mustard in a thin line down the center of the turkey slice.
  3. Layer 3 fresh spinach leaves lengthwise over the mustard, overlapping slightly.
  4. Place one slice of Swiss cheese on top of the spinach.
  5. Pat one pickle spear dry with a paper towel, then place it at the edge of the turkey slice closest to you.
  6. Starting from the pickle end, roll the turkey tightly in a burrito-style wrap, keeping the filling centered as you roll.
  7. Press gently along the seam to seal the roll-up. The moisture from the mustard will help it stick.
  8. Repeat with remaining ingredients to make 4 roll-ups total. Serve immediately or wrap in parchment paper for storage.

Notes

This recipe is exceptionally diabetic-friendly with only 2g net carbs per serving (total carbs minus fiber). The high protein content from turkey helps regulate blood sugar levels, while the healthy fats from cheese provide satiety. Spinach adds essential vitamins and minerals including magnesium, which plays a role in glucose metabolism. The recipe contains no added sugars and is naturally gluten-free. For individuals monitoring sodium intake, choose low-sodium turkey (under 400mg per serving) and rinse pickle spears before use to reduce sodium content by approximately 30%.
