Crepes have always been a favorite of mine although mostly for dessert. Sweet crepes filled with chocolate or even better Nutella {!!} and fresh berries are my weakness and I craved them big time during my pregnancy. Unfortunately, I had to watch my sugar towards the end so I painfully cut my beloved crepes out of my diet. Luckily my local coffee shop and fro yo hangout, SwirlBerry, makes some delish savory crepes too and I was soon hooked on the Turkey Pesto Crepe. It’s simple, with only a few ingredients, but hearty and filling and good for you too! Even better they have a location in our local hospital so after my checkups I could stop by and pick up a Turkey Pesto Crepe for lunch! Now that baby Stella is here and I don’t get out as much, I decided it was time I made these tasty crepes at home.
I don’t have a fancy crepe griddle maker like SwirlBerry and getting the hang of making the perfect, thin crepe can be frustrating. So I bought packaged crepes at my local grocery store and {another time saver} also picked up some jarred pesto. Add some fresh spinach, cheese, and sliced turkey and this crepe is assembled and cooked in just a few minutes!

Simple ingredients. Simple meal. Sensational flavor!
Pesto is the bomb! Homemade is best but for this time saver recipe
I went with store bought.
*Just remember that it is oil based so too
much will make your crepe soggy on the bottom.
After spreading pesto on your crepe add shredded Swiss cheese all over.
Now add baby spinach.
And sliced deli turkey.
Heat for a couple minutes to warm meat and melt the cheese.
Fold your crepe over.
Or roll it.
Slide onto a plate and serve warm.
Just as good as SwirlBerry and it only took a few minutes to make.
Serve with seasonal berries and you’ve got a tasty and healthy lunch!
