    My little one starts Kindergarten this September.

    He's been eager to go to school for quite some time now. And I feel bad since he's seen his older brother in school, making friends, interacting with teachers.

    There's still uncertainty about how school is going to look next month, however, we've been trying out different foods that he can eat from his lunchbox.

    I'm thrilled to introduce my latest recipe in partnership with the Turkey Farmers of Canada.

    These Turkey & Cheese Puff Pastry Roll Ups are super easy to make, and they're a crowd-pleaser. 

    One of the struggles I find with packing lunch for my kids is that (at least with my eldest), the food always comes back home.

    My son tells me that there's never enough time to eat (which is true, though I know secretly it's because they want to go outside to play). 

    The upside to being home during the pandemic? They kids have been eating their lunches every single day! 

    I tested these Turkey & Cheese Puff Pastry Roll Ups with the kids as a mock lunch for my youngest, and they both cleaned out their lunchboxes.

    Simple to make

    With only 5 ingredients, this might be the easiest lunch you'll ever make.

    You could even have your kids help you make them. It's that simple! 

    Only 5 ingredients

    • puff pastry (defrosted from frozen)
    • deli turkey meat
    • cheese (your choice)
    • grainy mustard
    • chopped chives

    Working with puff pastry

    Puff pastry is the base for these roll ups. It can be time-consuming to make puff pastry from scratch, so store-bought will work just fine.

    You can find puff pastry in the frozen section of your grocery store, close to where they keep pie shells. 

    It's important to keep the pastry chilled. The layers of butter worked in the dough produces the flakiness and "puff" in puff pastry.

    Just be sure to defrost the puff pastry in the fridge the night before you want to make the roll ups.

    How to make the turkey roll ups

    Preheat your oven to 400F. We want a hot oven and a chilled dough to produce puff. 

    On a floured work surface, roll out the puff pastry to about 9" by 12" in size with a rolling pin. 

    Spread the grainy mustard onto the pastry.

    Layer on the cheese and deli turkey meat.

    Roll it up lengthwise, and cut into 12 equal portions.

    Place them cut-side down onto a baking sheet and freeze for 15 minutes.

    Bake for 17-20 minutes, until golden brown.

    Sprinkle with chives and serve warm. 

    Versatile & delicious

    These Turkey & Cheese roll ups are incredibly tasty and look like you put in a lot of effort (when you actually haven't!) πŸ˜‰ 

    Serve the roll ups warm or at room temperature.

    Pack them as part of a kids' lunch or serve them as an appetizer. Either way, they will be bound to disappear.

      I absolutely love puff pastry! It's such an easy ingredient, and it's perfect for these roll-ups. Now I kinda want to go back to kindergarten myself so that I can pack a lunchbox full of these turkey roll-ups! Well done!!

      They look insanely delish and perfect for lunchboxes!! I bet they'd be fabulous for my Christmas morning brunch too!

      My little one also starts kindergarten this year. I'm feeling bad as well that she won't get the same experience her older sister got. We've created a beautiful work space for her and I'm hoping this unique experience will be a good one!

        Ahhh thanks Tasia -- the roll ups would be fantastic for Christmas entertaining.

        That's amazing that you've got a workspace for your little one, but yes, kinda crummy that she won't have the same experience as her older sis. πŸ™
