Equipment
- Cutting board
- Chef’s Knife
- Small bowl
- Fork or masher
- Party picks or toothpicks
Ingredients
- 2 large rectangular Lavash breads
- 1 15 oz can white beans (such as Northern or cannellini) drained and patted dry
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 garlic clove minced
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 4 tablespoons basil pesto
- 10-12 thin slices roasted turkey about 6 oz total
- 10 thin slices provolone cheese
- ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes in oil chopped and patted dry
- 6-8 large leaves red leaf lettuce torn and blotted dry
- Pepperoncini rings (optional)
Instructions
- Mash the beans with olive oil, garlic, pesto, salt, and pepper until mostly smooth. Stir until it becomes a cohesive, spreadable mixture. If it’s too thick, loosen it with a teaspoon of warm water or lemon juice.
- Lay each Lavash bread flat. Divide the bean-pesto spread evenly across both. Layer turkey slices, add provolone, scatter sun-dried tomatoes, and finish with lettuce pieces.
- Starting from the bottom edge, roll the lavash up tightly into a log, keeping the filling snug inside. Give the finished roll a gentle press to tighten everything together.
- Wrap each roll tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 15 minutes so the filling sets up.
- Unwrap the chilled rolls. Trim the ends, then cut into 1-inch pinwheels using a sharp serrated knife. Secure each with a toothpick or mini skewer.
- Arrange on a serving platter. Add a few pepperoncini rings for garnish (optional).
