Ingredients

Scale

Flatbread Base

  • 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 the Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the flatbread base evenly and perfectly.
  2. Prepare the Batter: In a food processor or blender, combine the cottage cheese, egg, oregano, garlic powder, and mayonnaise. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring an even texture for the flatbread.
  3. Spread the Batter: Line a baking sheet (approximately 9 by 13 inches or larger) with parchment paper. Pour the blended mixture onto the sheet and spread it evenly into a rectangular shape, using a spatula or by gently shaking the pan to smooth out the surface.
  4. Bake the Flatbread: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes. The flatbread is done when it is set, firm to the touch, and golden brown on top.
  5. Cool Slightly: Remove the flatbread from the oven and allow it to cool for 5 to 10 minutes. Cooling helps the bread firm up further and makes it easier to handle.
  6. Add Toppings and Serve: On one side of the cooled flatbread, layer the turkey breast slices, baby arugula, tomato slices, and drizzle with balsamic glaze. Serve immediately and enjoy your healthy, protein-rich sandwich alternative.
