Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375F (190C).
In a food processor (or blender), add the cottage cheese, egg, and spices. Blend until creamy.
Pour the mixture out evenly onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. My baking sheet was 9 by 13 inch but any larger one will also work as long as you spread the batter into one even layer.
Spread (or shake) it evenly into a rectangle.
Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the flatbread is set and golden.
Let it cool for 5-10 minutes. On one side of the flatbread add your favorite sandwich toppings and enjoy!

Notes

Deli Meat Alternatives: Instead of turkey, you can use other deli meats such as ham, roast beef, or even salami.

Dough Add-Ins: Add dried herbs like basil, oregano, or thyme for extra flavor. You can also sprinkle some crushed red pepper flakes or black pepper for a spicy kick.

Spreads: Instead of mayo, you could use a thin layer of mustard, pesto, or spicy aioli on the bread before adding the arugula and deli meat.

Vegetarian Options: For a vegetarian version, skip the meat and use sliced vegetables such as tomatoes, bell peppers, or grilled mushrooms.

Lettuce Substitutions: Instead of baby arugula, you can use spring mix or Romaine lettuce instead.
