I serve these roll-ups on their own or with a small salad. Other cold cut combos are yummy too. Roast Beef, Swiss, and Avocado is another favorite of mine and Ham, Swiss, a smear of Mustard and Dill Pickle. This particular combo of Turkey, Swiss, Avocado is great paired with a baby spinach salad topped dried cranberries, a few toasted almonds and a balsamic vinaigrette.
Shelly's Melted Roll-up
Turkey Breast, slice
Swiss Cheese, slice
Avocado, slices
Lay turkey on plate. Top with cheese and a couple of slices of avocado. Roll-up. Secure with toothpick if needed. Pan saute for a few minutes on each side till golden and cheese is gooey.
Variations: sometimes I add a sliced green chili (Ortega Whole Mild Green Chilies in the can) instead or in addition to the avocado.
Highlights of the Day:
* Speaking of cheese... I'm a happy girl. Costco had my Fresh Asiago Cheese (Asiago Pressato) back in. Asiago Pressato is one of Italy's protected-origin cheeses meaning it can only be made in a specific region of Italy (in this case northeastern Italy.) It's made from cow's milk, it's semi-soft and buttery and worth every lactose intolerant moment ;) LOL. Most people are familiar with Aged Asiago (Asiago d'allevo) but that is a different cheese hard like Parmesan. If you can find Asiago Pressato in your area try it. You will be hooked. It's yummy on it's own or melted on one of my tortilla pizzas.
* Ha. Gordon Ramsey has a new book out. You know the "Hell's Kitchen" dude that curses a lot. My favorite quote from the book...
"WATCH THE F***ING CARBS! Christ almighty."
I think I'm going to make that a magnet and put it on my fridge. LOL. Wise words.
* Right now. An especially good cup of coffee with a splash of Sugar Free Vanilla Torani Syrup in it. Chocolate Protein Waffles heating up in the toaster. Eating them with sliced bananas, Sugar Free Maple Syrup and a squirt of Land o Lakes Sugar Free Whipped Cream. Going to get paid $ for doing something fun today. Can't beat that! Then I'm going to go walk around the lake and feed the ducks. I found an open bag of Sugar Free Cookies that aren't quite fresh enough to eat anymore (I use them in some of my protein ice cream recipes) but I'm sure the ducks won't complain.
Listening to: "Dammit" Blink 182.

What a great idea to cook the roll-ups! OMG! Brilliant!
"WATCH THE F***ING CARBS! Christ almighty."
That's it - it's a new tagline.
"WATCH THE F***ING CARBS! Christ almighty" Seriously... you will be seeing this one WLSer's MySpace pages everywhere!! Mine included. ;)
The rollups are a great idea! I usually do a tortilla pizza for my ooey gooey cheesey fix, but I will try this next time.
LOL on Ramsay's comment, Michelle! I'm a fan of his BBC Kitchen Nightmares series -- he wasn't quite as bad with the language on that show as he is on Hell's Kitchen and the Fox versoin of Kitchen Nightmares.
Do you remember the context in which he was talking about the carbs? Because this is the most hilarious comment -- especially coming from a chef!
Cake, I love the BBC Kitchen Nightmare's series too ;)

I love Kitchen Nightmares on the BBC! My Scottish boyfriend hates Ramsey though so I have to watch it in secret...shhhhh.
Ok its like once again you are reading my mind. I tried eating a half a grilled cheese the other day and was so uncomfortable after from the bread- and I was sad eating my roast beef roll up- this is the ANSWER. So you use regular cold cut meat and grill it up right? You are the bomb. Love Ramsey he is NUTS.
Also I make those asparagus proscuitto things and I smear them with boursin cheese first before wrapping- TO DIE FOR
Thank you so much for posting this! I made the grilled turkey, swiss and avocado wrap. It was delicious - especially with a dollop of Greek yogurt. It is now my favorite go-to meal :)
