- Top the rice with half the Old Fashioned Smoked Turkey breast and avocado slices and half the cucumber slices plus 3 orange segments.
- Place 1 spoon of orange mayonnaise on top and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Place ½ cup (125 ml) of rice on top of the other ingredients and press firmly to compact.
- Lightly moisten the corners of the nori sheet and pull them up towards the centre using the plastic sheet, one at a time, pressing lightly so they adhere.
- Wrap the onigirazu in plastic wrap twisting tightly and let rest 5 minutes.
- Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients, cut each onigirazu in 2 and serve immediately.
