Turkey and Cheese Bundles

 

I know I don't have kids yet, but I think it's important to get children involved in the kitchen when they are young so they can learn the importance of healthy eating. As a child, I loved helping my mom out in the kitchen and watching her work, and I think that is what mainly contributes to my love of cooking today. When I have kids, I plan on making them as hands-on as possible in the kitchen so they learn how to make healthy and easy meals.

These turkey and cheese bundles are a creative way for kids to help prepare their own lunch. Since almost all kids enjoy turkey and cheese, finding a new twist to their normal sandwich routine while making them involved in the process is really beneficial. It's also an easy way to make them try new things (maybe replace turkey with ham? or a new type of filling altogether?) and since they were a part of the process, I'm sure they want to try their masterpiece (I know I did). It's worth a shot, and you'll get a tasty treat out of it regardless. Enjoy!

This is how they should look prior to rolling them up.
