Ingredients
  

  • 8.0 slices deli turkey breast
  • 1.0 cup fresh basil pesto
  • 1.0 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 0.5 cup roasted red peppers, sliced
  • 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 0.25 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 0.0 to taste salt
  • 0.0 to taste pepper
  • 0.0 leaves fresh basil leaves for garnish
  • 0.0 toothpicks for securing

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Work Area: Lay out a clean cutting board or large plate, and gather all ingredients.
  • Spread the Pesto: Take one slice of turkey and spread about 1-2 tablespoons of basil pesto evenly over the surface.
  • Add Cheese and Peppers: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese and a few slices of roasted red peppers over the pesto layer.
  • Season it Up: Add a sprinkle of garlic powder, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Roll It Up: Starting from one end, carefully roll the turkey slice tightly until it forms a roll. If needed, secure it by inserting a toothpick through the center.
  • Repeat: Repeat the process for the remaining turkey slices until all ingredients are used.
  • Serve: Arrange the roll-ups on a serving platter, garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired, and enjoy! They can be served cold or warm (if you prefer, pop them in the oven for 5-10 minutes at 350°F to melt the cheese a bit).
