1⁄4 teaspoon kosher salt
Pinch of black pepper

Whipping up a flavorful, cheese-free pesto couldn’t be easier. Spread the antioxidant-rich sauce on whole- wheat flatbread to make these fun, spiral-shaped sandwiches.
Directions
1. Place the basil, walnuts, and garlic in the bowl of a food processor and pulse until finely chopped, about 30 seconds. Add the olive oil, miso, salt, and pepper and pulse until well combined, about 30 seconds more.
2. Spread 1 1⁄2 Tablespoons of pesto on each wrap. Divide turkey, tomato slices, and spinach among the wraps.
3. Starting at one of the long ends, tightly roll into a cylinder. Secure each wrap with six evenly spaced toothpicks, then slice in between the picks.
Variation
Miso (a fermented soybean paste that’s often used in Asian cooking) adds a subtly salty, savory, umami flavor to the pesto. If you don’t have it on hand, just omit it or add another small pinch of salt.
