Inside-Out Turkey Sandwich Cups

As moms, we go into summer with the best of intentions.If you’re anything like me, in the next few weeks you’ll make all of these amazing plans for what you’re going to do with those long summer days. You prep fun at-home activities, schedule exciting outings, and even plan picture-perfect lunches for your kids.

And if you’re anything like me, those plans usually last a week or two before the chaos ensues.

So I don’t know about you guys, but for me, it’s key to be a little more realistic about those fun summer plans. I still like to put together exciting and enriching things for us to do/eat/see, but I also try to make sure I’m planning things that are fun but not over-complicated (i.e. things I’ll actually do rather than just plan).

And that definitely applies in the lunch department too. No, I’m not going to make perfectly themed lunches every single day… let’s be real: it’s just not going to happen. Instead, I like to think up fun ideas that are nutritious and easy to prep with two stir-crazy kids in the house! Bonus points if I can think of a way to get those stir-crazy kids to help me make lunch.

So this recipe for Inside-Out Sandwich Cups is perfect for those lazy summer days when you want a nutritious lunch that incorporates a little bit of fun and lets your kids help in the kitchen. It’s a great way to sneak in a few veggies too! Here’s the recipe – and with this, I use “recipe” as a very loose term. It’s really more of a method: you can use whatever fillings your family likes in this!

While the bread/salami is baking, place HORMEL® NATURAL CHOICE® OVEN ROASTED DELI TURKEY in greased muffin tins, making a cup shape. Bake these in a 400-degree oven for about 10 minutes, until edges of cups start to brown.

While your cups are baking, chop all veggies into bite-sized pieces. Lay veggies out buffet-style so kids can choose what they’d like in their cups.

Beat together eggs, cream cheese, salt, and pepper in a mixer. Fold in bread pieces. Let kids mix in their ingredients into this mixture…this is a great opportunity to get them involved in the cooking!

    Actually, this is the lunch meat we buy and it is definitely on my quick go-to lunch menu. It is especially easy to make into wraps–the time consuming part comes if I let others in the kitchen and they get into "decorating" theirs with lots of extras. But that is fun, too. These look amazing by the way.

    My go to quick and easy lunch is hummus with vegetables for dipping, crackers and cheese. If I’m feeling adventurous I’ll add nuts and olives.

    I try to always have some lunchmeat wrapped cheese sticks in the frig for quick lunches on the go. I never miss the bread or condiments and they last sooo much longer that way!

    My most excellent go-to quick and easy lunch which can be done up in a whip is making me and my family a nice BLT sandwich.
