jerk turkey

🥗Healthier: grilled chicken

💰Cheaper: roast turkey

Grilled chicken is leaner and can be seasoned to mimic jerk flavors.

cheddar cheese

🥗Healthier: reduced-fat cheese

💰Cheaper: processed cheese

Reduced-fat cheese cuts calories while processed cheese is often cheaper.

tortilla wraps

🥗Healthier: whole wheat wraps

💰Cheaper: pita bread

1

In a large bowl, combine green and red cabbage, carrots, onion, mayonnaise, sugar and white vinegar then mix well and place in the fridge until serving.

2

Add turkey to a large bowl and season well with jerk marinade, garlic powder, onion powder, poultry bouillon cube, salt, black pepper and soy sauce. Mix until the turkey is well coated and set aside to marinate for at least 15 minutes.

3

Heat BBQ grill (or skillet with a drizzle of oil) to a medium high, then place your marinated turkey breasts on your preheated grill or skillet, and close the lid. Flip your turkey breasts and continue cooking until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.

4

When done, transfer the turkey breasts to a cutting board and let it rest for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing.

5

Place tortillas on a plate and spread with a thin layer of jerk mayo sauce. Layer with lettuce, tomatoes, a few slices of turkey and creamy coleslaw. Wrap tightly, cut in half, serve and enjoy!
