Quick and Low Carb Wraps

 For diabetics, the name of the game is low carb. Note that I didn't say NO carbs! We can have carbs- just not as many as we once could. These recipes are simple, would make a good lunch, and are low-carb. You'll have to do some label reading though. All of these are for one person.

Turkey, tomato and Mozzarella Wraps 
  • 2 oz of sliced turkey (go low sodium or use shredded rotisserie)
  • 1 oz mozzarella cheese (skim)
  • 2 thin tomato slices
  • several basil leaves
  • 1 low-carb 6" wrap
Place the cheese, turkey, tomato and basil on half side of the wrap, fold over and grill in a dry pan or spray lightly with a little EVOO and cook until crispy on each side.

Low-Carb Calzone
  • 1 low-carb wrap (size of choice)
  • shredded skim mozzarella (if you can afford full fat do)
  • Low-sugar pizza sauce
  • Turkey pepperoni
  1. Place all of the items on one side of the wrap then fold top over bottom. 
  2. Fork press the edges (use a little water to soften the wrap if need be)
  3. Spray with some EVOO and cook in a non-stick pan until browned on each side.
