3/4 tsp chopped fresh tarragon
1/2 tsp minced garlic
1 dash freshly-ground black pepper
2 medium carrots, cut 3" by 1/4"
1 large red bell pepper, cut 1/4" strips
1 medium onion, halved, and

5 green onions, green part only - (to 6), halved lengthwise

Ice water, as needed
3/4 cup water
1 package frozen broccoli spears - (10 oz), thawed
10 slices smoked turkey breast - (12 oz)
=== SAUCE ===
6 tbsp no-sugar-added raspberry fruit spread
1 tbsp water, plus
1 tsp water
1 tsp frozen orange juice concentrate, thawed

Recipe Instructions:

In medium saucepan, combine broth, tarragon, garlic and black pepper; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer 3 minutes. Add carrots, bell pepper and onion; cook about 7 minutes or until crisp-tender. Remove vegetables with slotted spoon to small bowl; set aside.

Add green onions to broth and cook 1 minute or just until soft; remove and drop into ice water. Pat dry with paper towels.

Add 3/4 cup water to remaining broth and return to a boil. Add broccoli and cook 5 minutes; drain.

Take 2 green onion strips and knot ends together so total length is at least 12 inches. Repeat steps with remaining green onions until there are 5 (12-inch) strips.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Place 2 turkey slices side by side, with long sides overlapping 1 inch, on top of 1 green onion strip. Arrange 1/5 broccoli in middle of 2 turkey slices; place 1/5 vegetable mixture on top of broccoli. Fold turkey edges together over vegetables; tie green onion into double knot. Repeat steps with remaining turkey, green onion strips and vegetables.

Place turkey wraps in 13- by 9-inch baking dish. Bake, covered, 25 to 28 minutes.

Meanwhile, heat fruit spread, water and orange juice concentrate in small saucepan until smooth. Spoon over wraps.

This recipe yields 5 servings.

"Americans, more than any other culture on earth, are cookbook cooks; we learn to make our meals not from any oral tradition, but from a text. The just-wed cook brings to the new household no carefully copied collection of the family's cherished recipes, but a spanking new edition of ‘Fannie Farmer’ or ‘The Joy of Cooking’."

~ John Thorne, American food writer
