Ingredients

Flatbread

  • 3/4 cup cottage cheese (2%)
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon mayonnaise

Toppings

  • 4 slices turkey breast
  • 1/4 cup baby arugula
  • 2 slices tomato
  • 1 teaspoon balsamic glaze

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to get it ready for baking the flatbread evenly.
  2. Prepare Batter: In a food processor or blender, combine the cottage cheese, egg, oregano, garlic powder, and mayonnaise. Blend the mixture until it becomes smooth and creamy, ensuring the flatbread will have a consistent texture.
  3. Spread Mixture: Pour the creamy mixture evenly onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Spread or shake the batter out into an even rectangle, approximately fitting a 9 by 13 inch baking sheet or larger.
  4. Bake Flatbread: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the flatbread is set and has turned golden brown on the surface.
  5. Cool Flatbread: Remove the flatbread from the oven and allow it to cool for 5 to 10 minutes. This helps it firm up and makes it easier to add toppings and serve.
  6. Add Toppings and Serve: On one side of the flatbread, layer the turkey breast slices, baby arugula, tomato slices, and drizzle with balsamic glaze. Enjoy your fresh, healthy flatbread sandwich!

Notes

  • You can customize the flatbread toppings to your preference or dietary needs.
  • Using 2% cottage cheese keeps the flatbread lighter but creamy.
  • The mayonnaise adds moisture and helps bind the batter; you can substitute with Greek yogurt if preferred.
  • Ensure the flatbread is fully cooled before slicing to prevent it from breaking apart.
  • Store any leftovers refrigerated and consume within 2 days for best freshness.
