Healthy Turkey Roll-Ups
Want to know the secret to getting children eating more of the foods you want them to? It's much easier than I would guess. Simply make food fun to eat. Kids love playing with their food so why not encourage it from time to time?
This healthy lunchbox idea for kids is both simple to make and fun for kids to eat. It would be a pretty tasty lunch idea for work too.
This simple lunchbox idea takes no extra time in the morning. To make it even quicker, buy pre-shredded carrots, shredded cheese, and your favorite turkey meat.
You could switch it up and make Ham Roll-Ups or Chicken Roll-Ups the same way too.
Serve these turkey roll-ups with chopsticks, and you instantly have Turkey "Sushi"!
Your kids will have a blast eating these fun sushi turkey wraps. Find my favorite kid-friendly chopsticks and silverware set for lunchboxes here or save a set of chopsticks the next time you go out for Chinese food.
This idea is so simple and kid-friendly, I used the recipe on a taping of our local cooking show, Living With Amy. You can check out the segment by clicking here.

These are such a fun idea Jodi. I make my girls a lot of wraps that I cut into pinwheels, aka sushi style. One of their faves is cream cheese, smoked salmon, and cucumber. Need to get that recipe on my blog! Great job on the segment too!
