Rice-Paper Turkey Wraps
This recipe contains little fat and many nutrients, making it a great way to save on calories. The rice paper rolls score points with extra protein, vitamins from the B group (for nerves and blood formation), and vitamin C.
Instead of store-bought turkey breast slices, leftovers from home-made roast turkey or grilled chicken are good substitues.

Ingredients
- Ingredients
- 6 ozs Smoked turkey breast (in slices)
- 1 yellow Bell pepper
- 1 bunch scallions
- 4 sprigs cilantro
- 1 Orange
- 4 sheets Rice paper (11-12" diameter)
- 6 leaves Lettuce
- salt
- peppers
- soy sauce (to taste)
- Chili sauce (to taste)
Preparation steps
Cut turkey into thin strips. Rinse the bell pepper, wipe dry, quarter and remove seeds. Cut pepper into thin strips. Rinse green onions, pat dry and cut into thin rings . Rinse cilantro, shake dry and coarsely chop.
Peel orange with a sharp knife so that the bitter white pith is entirely removed.
Working over a bowl to catch the juices, cut between membranes to remove whole orange segments.
Soak 2 sheets of rice paper in warm water until slightly softened, about 45 seconds.
Dampen a cloth and place it on the work surface. Take both pieces of rice paper from the water and slightly overlap. Rinse the lettuce leaves and shake dry.
Place 3 lettuce leaves onto the rice paper. Spread half of all prepared ingredients on the lettuce, leaving about a 3/4-inch border all around. Season with salt and pepper.
Sprinkle cilantro leaves over the filling. Roll up the rice paper into a log using the damp cloth. Repeat to make the second roll.
Cut the rolls into pieces, about 1 inch wide. Serve with soy sauce or chili sauce.
