Ingredients

  • 1 giant pickle (the bigger the better)
  • 2 tablespoons cream cheese (softened)
  • 1 teaspoon ranch dressing (be sure to use a good ranch dressing)
  • 2-3 slices deli turkey
  • 1-2 slices provolone cheese
  • shredded lettuce (to taste)
  • 1 slice tomato, halved (optional)

Instructions

  • Carefully slice the pickle in half, lengthwise, so it lays open like a book. Try not to cut all the way through the pickle.
    Scoop out the seeds to create a "trench" for the fillings. Don't scoop out too much, you will want some of the meat there to give you a good crunch.
    Pat the inside of the pickle dry with a paper towel.

  • In a small bowl, combine cream cheese and ranch dressing. Spread mixture evenly on each side of the pickle.

  • Slice the provolone slices into two or three even strips. Stack the turkey slices then lay the cheese down one side (I try to layer the cheese so it's all the same length as the pickle) and roll/fold the cheese up in the turkey.
    Note: You can also just layer the turkey and cheese in like a sandwich, I have just found that rolling it up keeps it together better.

  • Place the turkey roll on one side of the pickle then top with lettuce, tomatoes, and any other toppings you like.
