Ingredients
- 1 large cucumber
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 4 oz turkey slices or your preferred deli meat
- 1 tbsp fresh dill or Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Cucumber: Slice the cucumber lengthwise into thin strips using a peeler or mandoline. The strips should be thin enough to roll but still sturdy enough to hold the filling.
- Mix the Cream Cheese: In a bowl, combine the softened cream cheese with fresh dill or Italian seasoning. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and mix until well combined.
- Spread the Cream Cheese: Spread a thin, even layer of the cream cheese mixture over each cucumber slice to ensure consistent flavor in every roll.
- Add the Turkey: Place a slice of turkey on top of the cream cheese layer. Trim the turkey slices if necessary to fit the cucumber strips properly.
- Roll the Cucumber: Carefully roll the cucumber slices tightly from one end to the other. Use a toothpick if needed to secure each roll and keep it intact.
- Repeat: Repeat the process until all ingredients are used. Arrange the rolls neatly on a platter for serving.
Notes
- Use a mandoline or vegetable peeler for evenly thin cucumber slices.
- For added flavor, consider swapping turkey with ham or other deli meats.
- These rolls are best served fresh but can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours.
- To make it vegetarian, replace turkey with cucumber strips or bell pepper slices.
- Serve chilled as a refreshing appetizer or snack.
