Powerhouse Turkey Salad Wraps

Chia Seeds have gotten a lot of attention lately.  With good cause.  Chia seeds are the richest plant source of Omega-3, are easier to digest than flax seeds, and studies indicate they can control blood sugar.  Did you know chia gel can also be used as a substitute for eggs in many baked goods? Use a proportion of 1 to 6 ratio of Chia Seeds to water to make chia gel. Use approximately one tablespoon of chia gel to replace one large egg in your baked goods.  As you can see Chia seeds are a pretty fabulous superfood, but don’t forget about the other great superfood ingredients in this yummy wrap.  Turkey, blueberries, walnuts, and spinach join chia seeds to make this a Powerhouse Recipe.  Enjoy! 



¼ c mayonnaise
1 T honey
1 t dry mustard
2 c cooked turkey, diced
1 c blueberries
¼ c onion, finely chopped
½ c walnuts
1 c spinach, finely shredded
2 T chia seeds
4 tortillas

Combine all ingredients except chia seeds and mix well until ingredients are well distributed.  Just before serving, add chia seeds and wrap salad in tortillas.
