Lunch Friday – cracked pepper turkey breast on “rye” low carb cracker bread. Recipe will be in the book (coming soon). Also tastes great spread with cream cheese and topped with a cucumber slice and a sprinkle of dill, or some pimento cheese and olives, for a couple variations on tea sandwiches you’d serve at a party.
If you leave it in the oven a bit longer (or turn off the heat and let it sit in there overnight to dry completely), it’s very close to a Ry-Krisp type cracker (https://goo.gl/lPFnGv), if you take out after 25 minutes, it’s flexible and slightly chewy like a soft cocktail rye bread.
I made the bread spread in a parchment-lined half sheet baking pan, and cut it small into 2″x2″ squares, but it could be put in a shallow/narrow loaf pan if you wanted to make thicker slices.

Mmmm. I love turkey.
We buy the Boar’s Head Brand at our deli. They have a sun-dried tomato that is fabulous.
Boar’s Head is great. This is Kretschmar’s Deli brand, which is as close to Boar’s Head brand I can get for much cheaper where I am.
Hmmm. I will have to see if they carry that brand here.
And here are the wannabe Ry-Krisp crackers (or softer “cocktail bread” if you don’t let them dry out in the oven), Erica DeMers.
Helps with my craving for rye toast, plus it’s got a LOT of fiber. Image link shows nutrition info.
Makes 30 crackers (or 15 if cut into 2″ pieces)
1-1/2 tablespoon caraway seeds
1-1/2 tablespoon butter
1 cup, water or broth
3/4 tsp, unsulphered blackstrap molasses
1/2 tsp seasoning salt (find one w/o sugar0
1/2 tsp garlic Powder
2 cups golden flax seed meal (you can also grind flax seeds to make 2 cups)
Mix all, it will have a Play-Doh consistency. Press or roll very thin (cracker thin). If using hand to press, keep a bowl of water nearby to keep hands wet and work fast, the flax gels up after a bit and can get hard. If rolling, place a sheet of parchment over the top of it all (the size of your pan). Cut the thin dough into large squares, space them out a bit, and bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes until it looks dry. Then turn off the oven, and let it sit in the hot oven until more dry. If it is a humid day, you may need to warm the oven occasionally. I will often let them set all night. It will depend on their exact size, but mine are about two inches long by two inches wide, and after fiber is subtracted, comes out to around one carb per cracker. They are really good with guacamole. Nutrition data in image.

YW! I know you are really restricted right now so these may be an answer for you if you find those have too much rye/corn flour
Update: I guess RyKrisp are no longer being made/none in production, but they are still for sale on Amazon (people have raved about their crazy long shelf life). In any case, these are a close alternative and if you don’t like caraway but like the flavor they give to pumperknickle/rye, you can grind them into the dough using a food processor/bullet berore adding them to the dough (or grind them along with whole flax seed if anyone can’t find milled flax seed)
