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