Serves: 40 person(s)
Yield: 40 x 1 roll-up servings

Preparation Time: 25 mins
Cooking Time: 0 mins

Ingredients:

8 oz nonfat cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup oil packed sun-dried tomatoes, drained and minced
2 green onions, minced
1/2 lb Cracked Pepper Turkey Breast (Jennie-O), sliced thin
1/2 cup minced fresh parsley
40 decorative toothpicks
40 small to medium green pimento stuffed olives

Directions:

In a small bowl, blend cream cheese with the sun-dried tomatoes and green onions until smooth and spreadable.

Lay each cracked pepper turkey breast slice on a clean surface and spread with the cream cheese mixture, leaving about 1/2-inch uncoated on one end. Roll the turkey up towards the end free of cream cheese and seal.

Dip each roll-up in chopped parsley to coat, then wrap individually in plastic wrap and chill until ready to serve.

To serve, secure each roll-up with 5 toothpicks, marking each piece, and slice in between the picks at a slight diagonal. Garnish each piece with an olive.
