Ingredients
PER SANDWICH
2
slices
Nature’s Own Life® 100% Whole Grain Sugar Free or 40 Calories Wheat Bread
1-2
tablespoons
light veggie cream cheese
1-2
slices
thin cut oven roasted turkey
5
thin strips of white cheese
from string cheese or white cheese slices
Instructions
Cut off and discard the crust from one slice of bread.
Use a rolling pin to flatten the bread.
Cut the bread into 3 equal size rectangles, trimming them to make them all the same width (about an inch).
Spread a thin layer of light veggie cream cheese over all three of the rectangles.
Overlap two of the short ends, sticking the two rectangles together.
Cut turkey slices the same size as the rectangles and set them on top of the two attached rectangles.
Starting at one short end, roll up the turkey & cream cheese topped bread into a spiral.
Press the remaining rectangle over the seam.
The bread will not completely wrap around the bread, but the seam will be covered and the spiral will stay in place.
Set the sandwich spiral on the counter so the spiral shows on top then spread a thick layer of veggie cream cheese over top.
Cut a small 3/4 inch circle and a large 2 1/2 inch square out of the second slice of bread.
Press the square on top of the spiral.
Cut very thin strips of string cheese or white cheese and attach them to the middle of the square using a dab of the cream cheese.
Allow the cheese to dangle over the edge of the square bread crating the grad cap's tassels.
Cut the end of the cheese tassels so they don't touch the counter.
Flatten the circle a bit so that it's not too tall and spread some cream cheese on one side.
Flip it over and press it down over in the middle of the square so that it covers the ends of the cheese strips.
