Apples and cheese go so nicely together, especially when they’re all snuggled up together with sliced turkey in a warm buttery tortilla blanket! Mmm!

Where do you find this kind of turkey?
Trader Joes and many whole food type stores sell nitrate-free turkey slices. 🙂
Oscar Myer is starting to sell nitrate free meats too.
It’s great to see how consumer demand for healthier food can help to create change! Thanks for taking the time to leave a kind note! Blessings, Kelly 🙂
