You know those people who spend an insane amount of time preparing food for every celebration? Thanksgiving, Christmas, birthdays… And then it’s basically devoured within minutes? That would be me. I always start out with simple ideas, but somehow they quickly snowball out of control, and I’m left spending an entire day in the kitchen, rather than enjoying my family and whatever company we have visiting. So this holiday season, I’m working on spending less time on food prep, more time having fun with everyone else {and maybe taking a few minutes to sneak away to enjoy a relaxing bath and put on some makeup so I feel great when it’s party time}. Today I’m sharing one of the recipes I’ve created for this holiday season: Turkey, Bacon, & Avocado Pinwheel Sandwiches. It’s basically my way of putting my absolute favorite ingredients into one simple appetizer that can be prepared within minutes. Genius, right?

Ingredients:

• 1 pound sliced turkey breast
• 1 pound sliced gouda cheese
• 8-ounce package of bacon
• Package of WHOLLY® SIMPLY AVOCADO™ Sea Salt
• Package of WHOLLY® SIMPLY AVOCADO™ Garlic Herb
• 8 Spinach wraps

Directions:

Begin by gathering your ingredients. I love the combination of flavors and textures in this recipe. Prepare your bacon using your favorite method. I know some like to place it in the oven, some in the microwave, but I like to do it on a griddle on my stovetop. I suggest purchasing both flavors of WHOLLY® SIMPLY AVOCADO™ so that you can mix things up flavor-wise.

Trim up two sides of the wrap to make it even when you roll it. I like using spinach wraps for a little extra flavor — and it’s an easy way to get festive this holiday season. You can opt for a sun-dried tomato or wheat wrap instead. Next, spread a layer of WHOLLY® SIMPLY AVOCADO™ on the wrap. SIMPLY AVOCADO™ is a pure, wholesome avocado dip and spread with minimal flavor enhancing ingredients. It is a super-easy substitute for fresh avocado, especially during the winter months when avocados may be difficult to find in stores.

Add three slices of cheese and turkey to each wrap. I selected a smoked gouda to complement the bacon and oven-roasted turkey breast. It’s one of my favorite sandwich combinations. Crumble bacon over the turkey. Remember to break it into small pieces so that it is easy to roll.

Now that you are done adding those four ingredients – WHOLLY® SIMPLY AVOCADO™, smoked gouda cheese, roasted turkey breast, and crumbled bacon – carefully and tightly roll your wrap. Place six toothpicks even spaced across the top of the rolled wrap.

Use a serrated knife to create six slices of the wrap — And your Turkey, Bacon, & Avocado Pinwheel Sandwiches are complete! How easy were those to make?? I think I spent maybe three or four minutes per wrap, and this recipe makes eight wraps {48 separate pinwheels}. This is a great recipe to get kids to help you. They can spread the avocado, crumble the bacon, and carefully help you insert the toothpicks.

To serve, arrange your pinwheel sandwiches on a seasonal platter – Hello, poinsettias! Serve a simple spread for guests. I included nuts and some chocolate chip cookies for simple snack foods to enjoy with family and friends. A little holiday decor, and you’re ready for a celebration!
