Garden wrap with leftover roasted turkey

Many of my friends have asked me for ideas about what to do with their leftovers. I immediately thought of a particular dish I came up with one Thanksgiving holiday. I made a wrap from leftover roasted turkey while adding a Thai touch. I was very pleased with the results. The dish is healthy, easy to make and you can decide how many ingredients you want to use-it is impossible to ruin this dish. My recipe is only a guideline and does not need to be followed exactly.

This wrap is filled with fresh herbs and vegetables that are commonly found in regular supermarkets. The rice paper is available at any community oriental grocery store, it is the same type used in making the fresh rolls in Vietnamese cuisine.

It’s summer time, and Asian fresh herbs are making their way back into the markets. Among those are Thai basil, or “Krapow,” and fresh chilies. These herbs are locally grown in the Homestead area.

For those who love to cook Thai food, this is the perfect time. The aroma of cooked Thai basil combined with garlic and fresh chilies will make your mouth water. Thai basil by itself imparts a fresh spicy flavor when cooked. If preferred, chilies can be left out for those who favor their dish non-spicy.

“Pad Krapow” is the number two best selling dish at our restaurant (second to Pad Thai, of course). The recipe can be made with your choice of meat or seafood. We hope you enjoy it!
