Ingredients
  

  • 3-4 slices turkey slices preferably oven-roasted or leftover cooked turkey
  • 1 carrot carrot cut into thin sticks
  • 1/2 cucumber cucumber sliced into rounds or half-moons
  • 2 tablespoons hummus or Greek yogurt for spread
  • 1 handful nuts such as almonds or sunflower seeds
  • Optional seasonings black pepper, paprika, lemon juice

Equipment

  • Medium bowl
  • Sharp knife
  • Cutting board
  • Small mixing spoon
  • Airtight container or snack box

Method
 

  1. Gather all your equipment and ingredients. Place a medium bowl, sharp knife, and cutting board within easy reach. Have your spreads and extras ready for assembly.
  2. Slice the turkey into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick, keeping the meat tender and juicy. Let the slices sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly.
  3. Wash and peel the carrot, then cut it into thin sticks or matchsticks. Keep them crisp and vibrant; they should crackle when you bite into them.
  4. Wash the cucumber and slice it into rounds or half-moons, maintaining their cool, crisp texture. These will add a refreshing crunch to your box.
  5. In your bowl, stir together the hummus or Greek yogurt until smooth. Add a squeeze of lemon or a dash of hot sauce if you like, mixing briefly to enhance the flavor.
  6. Lay out your container or snack box and arrange a bed of the crisp vegetables—carrots and cucumbers—on one side. Place the sliced turkey neatly over or beside the veggies, keeping layers tidy but not compressed.
  7. Dollop or spread the flavorful hummus or Greek yogurt on the side or over the turkey slices, adding moisture and tang. Sprinkle with optional seasonings like black pepper or paprika for extra flavor.
  8. Add a handful of nuts or dried cranberries on the side or sprinkled over the top for a satisfying crunch and subtle sweetness.
  9. Seal the container tightly with a lid to keep everything fresh and crunchy. Store in the fridge if not eating immediately, or enjoy right away for the best texture.
