These colorful and quick roll-up sandwiches are not only tasty—they also provide a good balance of protein, healthy fat and slow carbohydrates from the vegetables and whole-grain tortillas. The tryptophan in the turkey is known to help reduce stress, which is an added bonus. While you are at it, you can also chop some extra vegetables so they are ready for a salad at your next meal!
