You should make sure that any diet or recipe is approved for you by your own qualified healthcare provider. Do not consume more than ½ cup of food during any single meal, and stop eating and drinking before that amount if you start feeling full or uncomfortable.

Instructions:

Begin by preparing the lettuce leaves. Gently wash them under cold water, then pat them dry with a paper towel. This will make them ready for wrapping.
In a bowl, mix the diced turkey breast, sliced tomato, and prepared cucumber together.
Add the low-calorie ranch dressing to the mixture, and toss everything gently until well combined. Season with pepper to taste.
Lay one of the lettuce leaves flat on a plate. Place about 2 tablespoons of the turkey and vegetable mixture in the center of the leaf.
Repeat this process with the remaining ingredients, making three more wraps.

Enjoy!
