Ingredients
  

  • 200 g leftover cooked turkey slices preferably sliced thin
  • 50 g sharp cheddar cheese crumbled or sliced
  • 1 cup cucumber diced
  • 1 cup bell peppers diced
  • 1 cup mixed berries or apple slices for sweetness
  • 2 tbsp hummus or mustard for spreading
  • 2 tbsp toasted almonds or sunflower seeds for crunch
  • a few leaves fresh parsley for garnish

Equipment

  • Small spoon
  • Sharp knife
  • lunchbox with compartments
  • Mixing bowl

Method
 

  1. Start by slicing the turkey into thin, even pieces. This makes layering and packing easier, and ensures each bite is tender and flavorful.
  2. Dice the cucumber and bell peppers into small, bite-sized pieces. The vibrant colors and crisp textures will add freshness to your box.
  3. Crumb or slice your cheese into small pieces, ready to add a creamy, tangy element that pairs perfectly with the turkey.
  4. Using a small spoon, spread a thin layer of hummus or mustard in one compartment of your lunchbox—this will serve as a flavorful base or dip.
  5. Arrange the sliced turkey neatly in one section of the lunchbox, overlapping slightly for a tidy but generous layer.
  6. Add the cheese over or beside the turkey, distributing evenly for a balanced bite.
  7. Tuck the diced cucumbers and bell peppers into spaces around the turkey and cheese, creating a colorful, crunchy contrast.
  8. Place the fresh berries or apple slices in another compartment for a sweet, juicy element that brightens the meal.
  9. Sprinkle toasted almonds or sunflower seeds over the vegetables or fruits to add a satisfying crunch and richness.
  10. Finish by garnishing with a few leaves of fresh parsley for a pop of color and fresh aroma.
  11. Close the compartments securely, and refrigerate if not eating immediately. When ready, enjoy your colorful, satisfying turkey snack box as a quick, no-fuss lunch.

Notes

Feel free to customize with your favorite fruits, nuts, or spreads. For extra flavor, add a sprinkle of herbs or a dash of seasoning on the vegetables before packing.
