Cut a long fresh crisp cucumber in half and scrape out the seeds with a spoon. I like to eat the seeds, they are great for your skin! You can peel it but the peel is good for you if it's organic and not waxed.
Lay out 2 slices of thin sliced nitrite free turkey (or any other meat you like) and cut it the same length as your cucumber. Confession.. I eat the ends of the turkey too.
Now spread about a tablespoon of herbed cream cheese (my homemade cream cheese is lactose free and full of beneficial probiotics). The herbs I use are great for digestion as well as being tasty.
Top with your favorite thin sliced veggies (I used an orange pepper sliced on my mandolin).
Roll the turkey tight and stuff it in to one half of the cucumber and then firmly but gently press the other cucumber on top.
I cut my cucumber sandwich into slices, I think if you refrigerated first it would cut nicely but I couldn't wait.
