Turkey, Bacon, and Avocado Summer Rolls
6 rice paper wrappers (8 in. diameter)
6 romaine lettuce leaves (6 to 7 in.)
6 slices turkey (about 7 oz.) from a whole cooked turkey breast
4 ounces jicama (from 1 small), peeled and cut into julienne
6 slices cooked bacon
1/4 sweet onion, such as Maui, very thinly sliced
1 large ripe avocado, thinly sliced
1 red or green jalapeño, seeded and very thinly sliced
1/2 bunch Thai basil or regular basil
1. Dip a rice paper wrapper in warm water for a few seconds--just until it's pliable. Lay on plate and let sit 10 to 15 seconds, so the water soaks in.
2. Layer one-sixth of fillings on the bottom third of the wrapper, starting with lettuce.
3. Lift filled edge up and over fillings and keep rolling it away from you, tucking fillings in firmly but gently and folding in the sides. (Stretching the wrapper as you roll helps.)
