I used to make these during my training days when I worked at a restaurant in Hawaii. They're low fat, low carb, high protein, quick and delicious—a great choice before or after a workout. —Duncan Omarzu, Astoria, New York

Health tip
  • Deli meat is typically lean, like the turkey used in these low-carb wraps, but it’s also high in sodium. Switch to leftover cooked turkey or chicken to cut back on sodium.
