Turkey and Avocado Aram Sandwiches

Turkey and Avocado Aram Sandwiches

An Aram sandwich is made from lavash which is Armenian cracker bread. Traditionally it is crisp with darkened bubbles. To soften, both sides are drizzled lightly with water and then wrapped in a damp towel for a couple of hours. Once softened, the bread is spread with whipped cream cheese, and layered with meat, tomatoes, avocados and greens. The sandwich is then cut into rounds like a pinwheel. For this recipe I used Clay Oven Baked Lavash bread from Trader Joes. It is soft and ideal for wraps and sandwiches, thus eliminating the softening step.

*Slice tomatoes and avocados as thin as possible as this will make it easier to roll up. Hummus could be substituted for the cream cheese and any other variety of meat, cheeses or veggies. Also, tortillas would work well in place of the lavash.

To prepare:

Spread the cream cheese evenly across the lavash.

Evenly place 6 slices of turkey (per bread),

1/2 of the tomatoes and 1/2 of the avocado on top of the cream cheese. Then scatter the arugula.

Starting on the short side from the bottom of the sheet, gently roll the lavash into a roll.

Slice into 6 pieces. Enjoy!
