Ingredients
Scale
Protein & Main Ingredients
- ½ pound Deli Turkey slices
- Bacon (quantity to cover 4 skewers, approx. 8 strips)
- 4 slices of cheese (cheddar or your choice)
- 4 inch Skewers (4 pieces)
Bread & Vegetables
- 2 pieces of toasted bread of choice, cut into skewer-friendly pieces
- 1/2 cup Lettuce, chopped or whole leaves
- 1 cup Cherry Tomatoes
- 1 Avocado, sliced
Sides
- 4 cups Potato Chips
- 2 cups Grapes
Instructions
- Cook Bacon: Cook bacon strips until they are slightly crispy but still flexible enough to skewer without breaking. This usually takes about 5-7 minutes on medium heat in a skillet or until desired crispness.
- Assemble Skewers: Thread bread pieces, deli turkey slices, avocado slices, lettuce, cheese slices, cooked bacon strips, and cherry tomatoes alternately onto the skewers until full. Arrange ingredients to balance taste and stability.
- Portion Into Lunchboxes: Divide the completed skewers evenly between 4 lunchboxes. Add 1 cup of potato chips and ½ cup of grapes to each box as complementary sides.
- Store Properly: Cover each lunchbox with a tight-fitting lid or cling wrap. Refrigerate the lunchboxes until ready to consume, ideally within 2-3 days for freshness and safety.
Notes
- Use firm yet ripe avocado to ensure it holds together on the skewer.
- To prevent the bread from getting soggy, consider toasting it just before assembling the skewers.
- Cherry tomatoes add a juicy burst but can be replaced with grape tomatoes if preferred.
- This recipe is best served chilled but can be brought to room temperature before eating if desired.
- Adjust bacon crispiness based on your texture preference but avoid overly crispy to maintain skewer integrity.
- For a vegetarian option, omit turkey and bacon and add more cheese or substitute with plant-based deli slices.
