Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound turkey breast preferably thin sliced or fresh for searing
  • 4 slices cheddar cheese or your favorite cheese
  • 1 small cucumber sliced thin
  • 1 bell pepper bell pepper any color, sliced thin
  • 2 tbsp mustard or hummus
  • A handful nuts or dried fruits almonds, dates, or your choice
  • Fresh herbs dill or basil, chopped

Equipment

  • Medium skillet
  • Sharp Knife

Method
 

  1. Preheat your skillet over medium heat until hot and aromatic. Carefully pat the turkey breast dry, then season lightly with salt and pepper.
  2. Place the turkey breast in the skillet and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side, until the surface is golden brown and crispy. Use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature reaches 74°C (165°F).
  3. Once cooked, transfer the turkey to a cutting board, tent loosely with foil, and let rest for 10 minutes. This helps keep the meat moist and flavorful.
  4. Slice the rested turkey into thin, even strips against the grain, revealing a juicy, tender interior.
  5. Arrange the turkey slices in your snack box, layering with slices of cheddar cheese, crisp cucumber, and colorful bell peppers for a vibrant look.
  6. Add dollops of tangy mustard or hummus on the side or directly over the ingredients for moisture and flavor.
  7. Sprinkle fresh herbs and a handful of nuts or dried fruits over the top for added crunch and aroma.
  8. Seal the snack box and enjoy immediately, or refrigerate for up to 24 hours for a fresh, portable meal.

Notes
