Ingredients
Scale
- Large fresh collard green leaves, stems removed
- 3–4 ounces (85–113 grams) sliced deli-style turkey breast, preferably nitrate-free
- 2 tablespoons hummus (classic or flavored, e.g., roasted red pepper or garlic)
- 1 ripe but firm avocado, sliced or mashed
- Optional extras: shredded carrots, cucumber slices, fresh herbs (cilantro or parsley), sprouts or baby greens
- Pinch of sea salt
- Freshly cracked black pepper
Instructions
- Rinse collard leaves under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Trim the thick stem at the base of each leaf to make rolling easier. Optionally, steam leaves for 15-20 seconds, then cool and dry thoroughly.
- Slice the avocado thinly or mash gently with a fork. Prepare any optional veggies or herbs.
- Lay one collard leaf flat on a cutting board with the stem end facing you. Spread about 2 tablespoons of hummus evenly over the leaf, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Layer 3-4 ounces of sliced turkey on top of the hummus. Add avocado slices or spread mashed avocado over the turkey.
- Add any optional veggies or herbs, then sprinkle with a pinch of sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper.
- Fold the sides of the collard leaf over the filling, then roll from the stem end tightly but gently to keep everything inside. If the leaf tears, patch with another leaf or enjoy open-faced.
- Cut the wrap diagonally for presentation or keep whole for easy eating. Store any extras in an airtight container in the fridge.
Notes
To soften collard leaves for easier rolling, briefly steam or blanch for 15-20 seconds and dry thoroughly. Use hummus as a ‘glue’ to help bind ingredients and prevent sogginess. Wrap leftovers tightly in parchment paper and store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Avoid plastic wrap directly on greens to prevent moisture buildup.
