Ingredients
- 3 ozdeli turkey slices (from snack tray)
- 2 ozsliced cheddar cheese (from snack tray)
- 10 crackerswhole grain crackers
- 1 cupbaby carrots
- 3 tbsphummus
From the pantry: black pepper
Cookware
cutting board · small knife · meal-prep container with compartments · small container for hummus
Directions
- Lay the deli turkey slices on a cutting board and fold or roll them into portions that fit the crackers.
- Cut the sliced cheddar into cracker-sized pieces if it is not already sliced small.
- Portion the whole grain crackers into one section of the meal-prep container.
- Stack the turkey and cheddar in a separate section of the container so diners can build their own stackers at lunchtime.
- Wash and add the baby carrots to a third section of the container.
- Spoon the hummus into a small lidded container and season with a pinch of black pepper.
- Snap the lid on the meal-prep container and tuck the hummus container inside or alongside it, then refrigerate until ready to eat.
Two tips
- If using the Sunday-prepped tray, the turkey and cheddar are already portioned into piles, so this lunch is just an assembly job.
- Swap the cheddar for pepper jack from the same tray if you want a spicier stack.
Packing
Keep the crackers in their own dry compartment so they stay crisp, and pack the hummus in a separate small container to prevent sogginess. Eat cold, straight from the fridge; no reheating needed.
Storage
Keeps well in the fridge for up to 3 days. Do not freeze, since the crackers, cheese and hummus all lose texture after thawing.
