This recipes didn’t turn out the way I planned. I had wanted to make an egg roll out of lunch meat, cheeses and veggies. I thought it would be fun and cute looking. Well it’s not as easy as it sounds and I ended up with these low carb lunch meat wraps. Turns out they were super easy and fun to make and absolutely delicious. I know it’s just meat and cheese rolled up but it’s the contents that make it most delicious. And they are perfect for a low carb snack, lunch or even a dinner. My husband loved them as much as I did.
Let’s talk healthy lunch meat
Lunch meat can be full of salt and nitrates and all kind of yucky stuff. So when ever possible I make my own lunch meat. I have a whole post if you are interested. A while back I bought a meat slicer like this so my we could make our own lunch meat. My husband has a smoker (actually 2!) that he’s become a master of so we’ve made lunch meat out of smoked turkey, smoked brisket and a baked roast beef (which you can see below). We’ve also use the slicer to slice pepperoni thinly and ham etc.

So if you want the healthiest lunch meat try to make your own. If you don’t have the time, I understand. You can try brands like Applegate Farms and even Aldi has a Never Any brand that doesn’t have any nitrates and other things in their lunchmeat. For this post I just went to the deli counter and looked for the largest pieces of meat I could find because I wanted to make egg rolls out of these.
Turkey Wraps, Roast Beef Wraps & Ham wraps
There are so many combinations you can make with these lunch meat wraps. The biggest and tastiest one I made is down in the recipe card below but it was a take on a Chef Salad. I used ham, turkey, cheddar, Swiss, bacon, peppers, red onions, baby greens and a little ranch dressing. It was yummy! For my hubby we made a roast beef, cheddar, peppers, baby greens and a good grainy mustard. My second favorite was a turkey, bacon and avocado wrap.

She’s right. Her husband did love these. I walked by and grabbed one (after the photo shoot as I value my fingers), and wound up taking 3 more. It amazes me how Denise can make rolled up meat, cheese and veggies look so appetizing.
