Ingredients
- 3 ozsliced deli turkey (from the snack tray)
- 2 ozsliced cheddar cheese (from the snack tray)
- 12 crackerswhole grain crackers
- 1 cupred seedless grapes
Cookware
cutting board · chef's knife · meal-prep container with compartments
Directions
- Open the deli snack tray and separate out the turkey and cheddar slices for one serving (or use your Sunday-prepped piles if you already split the tray).
- Lay the turkey slices flat on a cutting board and stack or fold each one so it sits neatly in the container.
- Do the same with the cheddar slices, keeping turkey and cheese in their own section of the box.
- Rinse the grapes if you haven't already washed the whole batch on Sunday, then pat dry.
- Count out the crackers and add them to their own compartment so they stay crisp and don't get soggy from the meat or cheese.
- Fill the last compartment with the grapes.
- Seal the container and refrigerate until lunchtime; eat cold, building your own turkey-cheese-cracker stacks as you go.
Two tips
- Swap pepper jack for cheddar and salami for turkey if you want to mix up the flavors from the same tray.
- Keep crackers in a separate small bag or compartment even if you're packing the night before, since any contact with the meat or cheese will soften them by lunch.
Packing
Use a divided meal-prep container so the crackers stay in their own dry compartment, away from the turkey and cheese. Pack the grapes in the same box or a small side container. Eat cold; no reheating needed. Best eaten within 1 day of packing for maximum cracker crunch.
Storage
Keeps well in the fridge for up to 4 days if stored in a sealed container; the deli meat and cheese are the limiting factor, so check the tray's use-by date. Not recommended for freezing since the texture of crackers, cheese and grapes all suffer.
