How did I get this recipe?

I vividly recall the moment I first laid eyes on this recipe for Turkey, Spinach and Apple Wrap. It was a warm summer day, and I was visiting my dear friend Margaret for our weekly afternoon tea. As we chatted and sipped on our Earl Grey, Margaret suddenly disappeared into the kitchen and returned with a plate of these delicious wraps.

I remember taking my first bite and being instantly hooked. The combination of tender turkey, crisp spinach, and sweet apples wrapped in a soft tortilla was unlike anything I had ever tasted before. I begged Margaret for the recipe, and she happily obliged, explaining that she had learned it from her own grandmother many years ago.

From that moment on, I was determined to master the art of making these wraps myself. I spent countless hours experimenting in my own kitchen, tweaking the ingredients and proportions until I had perfected the recipe to my liking. I added a touch of honey to the dressing for a hint of sweetness, and a sprinkle of toasted almonds for crunch.

As I continued to make these wraps for family and friends, they quickly became a staple at gatherings and potlucks. Everyone raved about how delicious they were, and I was thrilled to share my newfound culinary creation with the world.

Over the years, I have shared this recipe with countless people, each adding their own unique twist to make it their own. My granddaughter, Olivia, has even taken a liking to them and loves to help me in the kitchen whenever she visits. Together, we chop the apples, shred the spinach, and assemble the wraps with love and care.

I often think back to that fateful day at Margaret's house, and how a simple plate of wraps inspired me to become the cook I am today. It just goes to show that inspiration can come from the most unexpected of places, and that sometimes the most delicious recipes are the ones passed down through generations.

So here it is, my beloved recipe for Turkey, Spinach and Apple Wraps. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do, and that they bring you as much joy and satisfaction as they have brought me over the years. Happy cooking!
