I’m always on the lookout for easy lunchbox ideas, something different from the same-old, same-old… you know who you are, pbj! In comes these yummy turkey pesto roll-ups. These are so quick to put together in the morning to add to the kids lunches and they’re delicious to boot! I actually made an extra one for my lunch – mom’s gotta eat too :)
You can make these the morning of, they’re that easy, or the night before and pop them in the fridge until they get packed up. Simply add in a few other items to their lunch and the kiddies will be off to school in no time!
Easy Lunchbox Idea: Turkey Pesto Roll-Ups
I’ve partnered with O Organics for today’s recipe, which can be found at your local Safeway or Albertsons grocery store. We’ve been buying O Organics since we moved to Seattle a few years ago at our neighborhood Safeway and love them. They offer over 400 products and all USDA certified organic, a really affordable way to choose organic ingredients for our family, yay!
This recipe for today’s roll-ups is adapted from Safeway.com and their recipe for Turkey Pesto Pinwheels, found here on their Pinterest page. I chose to package mine a little different in a roll-up for our lunch boxes, but these would be fun to make for your kids too.
You can buy a jar of pre-made pesto or make Homemade Basil Pesto – it’s so easy to blend up!
Directions for Roll-Ups
Spread 1 tablespoon of pesto onto 1 tortilla. Place 2 slices of turkey onto the tortilla, leaving about 2 inches on one side. Place 2 slices of cheese on top of the turkey. Roll up your tortilla.
Repeat for the second roll up. Then cut each in half to fit into your child’s lunch box. You can cut them into 1-2 inch pin wheel shapes or in half for small roll-ups.
For my kids, I love to use these type of reusable containers for their lunch bags. We’re adding in grape tomatoes, cashews, and our quick and easy turkey pesto roll-ups. They’ll also get a water bottle and a box of raisins.
Lunchbox complete. Time to eat!
