Ingredients
  

  • 8 large collard green leaves stems removed
  • 1 pound cooked and shredded turkey breast
  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped walnuts
  • 1/4 cup shredded carrots
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 1/4 cup coconut yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Salt to taste

Instructions
 

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the collard green leaves and cook for 1-2 minutes until they are slightly softened but still vibrant green. Using tongs, transfer the leaves to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Let them cool for a few minutes, then gently pat dry with a paper towel. Set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded turkey breast, dried cranberries, finely chopped walnuts, shredded carrots, and chopped parsley. Mix well to ensure the ingredients are evenly distributed.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the coconut yogurt, apple cider vinegar, ground cinnamon, and salt. Adjust the seasoning to taste. The dressing should be smooth and well-combined.
  • Lay a collard green leaf flat on a clean surface, with the stem end facing you. Place about 1/4 cup of the turkey mixture in the center of the leaf. Drizzle a small amount of the coconut yogurt dressing over the filling.
  • Fold in the sides of the collard green leaf towards the center, covering the filling. Starting from the bottom edge, carefully roll up the leaf to form a tight wrap, enclosing the filling completely.
  • Arrange the finished wraps on a platter. You can serve them immediately or chill them in the refrigerator for a bit before serving. Provide extra dressing on the side for dipping if desired.
