Turkey And Vegetable Wrap (Meat)

Contributed by Eileen Goltz.

1 large sheet of lahvosh
1 cup tomato sauce
1 cup mild salsa
1/2 lb. fresh spinach leaves
1/2 lb. roasted turkey breast, thinly sliced
1 red pepper, thinly sliced
1 red onion, thinly sliced
1 small zucchini, thinly sliced

Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place the lahvosh on a sheet pan and brush with the tomato sauce. Spoon the salsa over the sauce. Layer on the spinach leaves, followed by the turkey breast, red pepper, onion and zucchini.

Special InstructionsINSPECTION FOR SPINACH LEAVES:
Please note Only flat leaf spinach is recommended because its flat surface lends itself to efficient washing. Curly leaf spinach is difficult to clean and check. It is therefore not recommended.

INFESTATION: Spinach and arugula tend to be highly infested throughout the year. Light green thrips are often found in the small curls of the leaves. Occasionally, worms may be found in burrows within the body of the leaf. Look for a narrow (1/8_) translucent burrow speckled with black dots breaking up the deep green color of the leaf. These burrows will often trap the worm within the leaf. To rid the leaf of these worms, carefully slit the bumpy part within the burrow with a sharp knife and remove the worm.

INSPECTION:

1. Soak leaves in a solution of cold water and vegetable wash. The proper amount of vegetable wash has been added when some bubbles are observed in the water. (In the absence of vegetable wash, several drops of concentrated non-scented liquid detergent may be used. However, for health reasons, care must be taken to thoroughly rinse off the soapy solution.)

2. Separate spinach leaves and agitate in the soapy solution.

3. Using a heavy stream of water or a power hose, remove all foreign matter and soap from the leaf surface. Alternatively, a vegetable brush may be used on both sides of the leaf.

4. Several leaves should be checked over a light box or under strong overhead light to verify that the washing procedure has been effective. Both sides of the leaf must be checked.

5. If it is practical, it is best to check each leaf.
>Notes: Forget the turkey and you have a tasty vegetarian wrap. The smooth dark green spinach leaves are known for their slightly bitter taste and high nutritional value. Please check "Special Instructions" below for instructions on inspecting spinach leaves for insect infestation.
