Reuben-esque Cabbage Wraps

PER SERVING (1/4th of recipe, 1 wrap): 160 calories, 6.5g fat, 937mg sodium, 9.5g carbs, 1.5g fiber, 5g sugars, 17g protein -- PointsPlus® value 4*

Classic sandwich flavors in a super-low-calorie package -- can you afford NOT to try it? BTW, if you don't see packaged turkey pastrami, check the deli counter...

Ingredients:
1 head green cabbage (you won't use it all!), carefully cored with a knife
4 slices reduced-fat Swiss cheese
1/4 cup fat-free Thousand Island dressing
1/2 cup sauerkraut
8 oz. sliced turkey pastrami (about 24 slices)

Directions:
Place the head of cabbage in a large microwave-safe bowl, and microwave for about 4 minutes, until the outer leaves begin to loosen.

Once cool enough to handle, remove cabbage from the bowl. Gently remove 4 whole outer leaves from the cabbage, and place them back in the bowl. (Reserve the rest of the cabbage for another use.)

Add 2 tbsp. water to the bowl with the cabbage leaves. Cover and microwave for about 2 minutes, until leaves are very soft.

Lay 2 softened cabbage leaves side by side on a clean dry surface. Place a cheese slice in the center of each leaf.

Evenly top each cheese slice with 1 tbsp. dressing, followed by 2 tbsp. sauerkraut and 2 oz. pastrami (about 6 slices).

Wrap each cabbage leaf up burrito-style, folding the sides in first and then rolling the cabbage up from the bottom around the filling. Place seam-side down to serve. Repeat with the remaining ingredients, for a total of 4 wraps.

If you like, microwave cabbage wraps for 1 minute, or until hot. Slice in half (or not) and enjoy!
