Turkey and Cranberry Wrap

    * 1 10-inch whole-wheat wrap or burrito-size tortilla
    * 2 tsp. honey or hot-and-sweet mustard
    * 2 tsp. reduced-fat mayonnaise
    * 1/2 cup baby spinach leaves, lightly packed
    * 3 oz. thinly-sliced roast turkey breast
    * 4 slices (about 1/8) Golden Delicious apple
    * 1 Tbsp. chopped pecans
    * 1 Tbsp. dried cranberries, chopped

Heat a heavy, medium skillet over medium-high heat. (An iron skillet is perfect for this purpose.) Warm wrap or tortilla in pan until it is pliable and very lightly toasted, about 1 minute. Turn and heat for 30 seconds. Transfer tortilla to a cutting board or a large plate.

Mix together mustard and mayonnaise and spread mixture over the tortilla, leaving a one-inch border around edge. Arrange spinach leaves on top. Cover spinach with turkey. Lay apple slices across the middle in a row. Sprinkle pecans and cranberries on top of apple.

Lift up bottom edge of tortilla and, working in direction away from you, roll up tortilla as tightly as possible. Serve immediately, or wrap tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate up to 12 hours.
