I am generally pretty good about serving a variety of meals and foods to my family - except when it comes to lunch. We rotate between a 'main course' of peanut butter and jelly, cheese and crackers and lunch meat, cereal bars and yogurt, and turkey sandwiches made on mini bagels, but it all gets boring. (Read: it gets boring for me to make. The kids rarely complain about what they are being served!) I pulled the following out of a magazine awhile back and tucked it into the 'Appetizer' section of my cookbook, but have found that it makes the perfect lunch! (And don't let the fact that it uses puff pastry intimidate you - it is very easy to use!)
Apricot Turkey Pinwheels
¼ cup apricot preserve
½ teaspoon ground mustard
¼ pounds sliced deli turkey
½ cup Monterey Jack cheese
1 sheet Puff Pastry
Spread apricot preserves onto puff pastry sheet. Sprinkle with ground mustard. Layer with turkey and Monterey Jack cheese. Roll up jelly-roll style. Cut into 16 slices. Bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes or until browned.

Yummmm...I have ants in my pants to make this one. And yes the puff pastry is scaring the bejeebers outta me!
Making this AGAIN tonight. The Mr. is in town and he was away last week when I made it. It is sure to be a big hit this time too...and I plan to do a better job of not having the cheese leak out. I may even brush on a little egg to helo it brown.
Sweet Pete! I am getting all cuisine-y up in here with an egg wash and all! Thanks again for the recipe!
Yum! THose sound SO good! NOw I wanna run to the store for the ingredients to make it tonight. LOL
I bought some cheap, plastic large cookie cutters and cut Em's school lunch bologna, ham or turkey into shapes. She loves getting "teddy bear," "heart," and "flower" meat in her lunchbox. :)
