When eating on a low carb diet, swapping out breads and grains is a great way to keep the carbs low. I tend to use lettuce, egg or cheese as a wrap for my sandwiches, tacos and such. An easy lunch recipe I like to make is a Low Carb Turkey Club Egg Wrap. It doesn’t cost much to make and is a meal that even the kids love.
You can add whatever ingredients you want into the egg wrap but remember to keep it low carb. To lower carb count, you can omit the cornstarch/water mixture but may result in tearing of the egg wrap. Feel free to try both ways and see how it turns out. Enjoy!
Low Carb Turkey Club Egg Wrap
Yields: 1 wrap
Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- ½ teaspoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon warm water
- 1 tablespoon butter
- ¼ cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 4 slices deli turkey
- 2 slices bacon
- ½ avocado, sliced
- A handful of fresh spinach
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional add-ins: thinly sliced tomato, sliced bell peppers, sliced onions (beware that tomatoes and onions can rack up in carbs if too many is consumed)
Directions
- In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water. Add the two eggs and whisk again until combined.
- Heat a large skillet over low-to-medium heat. Add butter and allow it to completely melt and coat the entire bottom of the pan.
- Pour in the egg mixture and lift the pan – tilting to each side so the egg completely covers the bottom of the pan in a thin layer. Allow it to cook for just a couple of minutes. Sprinkle on desired amount of salt and pepper.
- Using a large wide spatula, gently lift the outer edges of the egg and then flip it over to cook the remaining side for 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Add desired toppings, starting with shredded cheese.
- Gently roll up the egg wrap and slice in half for easier eating.
