Try Lettuce Wraps at Lunch!

Need a break from the same old lunchtime options? Now, I have a suggestion to help you break up the mid-day boredom! Try a fun "twist": Turkey Cobb Lettuce Wraps made with turkey bacon! I recommend turkey bacon that has at least 50 percent less fat than pork bacon.Tasty and wholesome, these wraps are great if you're watching what you eat as part of a weight management plan. They're perfect with a piece of fruit or a small bowl of vegetable soup on the side! The lettuce in this breadless sandwich is rich in vitamin A and teams up with tomatoes to provide a good source of vitamin C. If you're a parent, try making Turkey Cobb Lettuce Wraps with your kids as part of a fun weekend lunch. They'll love rolling up the ingredients (and "helping" you in the kitchen!).
