Lately one of my favourite already-prepared ingredients are Phyllo (fillo) sheets. I found a great brand that sells organic whole wheat fillo sheets, and have been experimenting with all sorts of delicious edibles.
The first delicious phyllo recipe to share are turkey phyllo wraps!

This recipe requires a bit of prep, but it makes 10 wraps. I froze half, then placed in oven when re-cooking. |

Although you may have pre concieved ideas of phyllo sheets this recipe is actually very nutrious. One wrap is only approx 160 calories: 20g carbs (including veggies)/4g fat/12g protein | |

The oven crisps the phyllo sheets up beautifully! | |
| General Comments: These are best enjoyed the same day as being prepared as phyllo sheets loose the crispy-ness after sitting in the fridge overnight. |

It’s been a while since I had phyllo wraps. I remember having some stuffed with spinach ages ago!
