What’s In A Turkey Wrap?

A Turkey Wrap typically consists of a large tortilla filled with smoked deli turkey, cheese, lettuce, tomato, avocado, and optional bacon, all wrapped up into a convenient handheld meal.

The tortilla can be whole wheat or white, and the filling can be customized to include additional ingredients like sauces, spreads, or other vegetables–whatever works for you. We also like to include a spread, such as ranch dressing or mayo, to add some extra flavor and creaminess. 

  • For the best flavor, use turkey from the deli. We love turkey breast that has been smoked for added flavor. 
  • Our favorite cheese on these wraps is sharp Cheddar cheese which is known for its tangy and slightly sharp taste. The sharp variety is aged longer and has a more intense flavor that adds a lot of depth to the wrap.
  • Using a ripe avocado lends a wonderful creaminess to the wraps. To tell if an avocado is ready, gently press into it with your thumb. If it gives slightly and feels soft, it’s likely ripe. If it feels hard or mushy, it may not be ripe yet or may be overripe.
  • As far as ranch dressing goes, the better the ranch, the better the flavor! We’re obsessed with using this incredible homemade Ranch Dressing Recipe on our Turkey Wraps. But, as far as store-bought goes, Hidden Valley® Original Ranch dressing is a classic. If you aren’t a fan of ranch, use a good mayo or even a homemade aioli instead.

How Do You Fold A Turkey Wrap?

Folding a Turkey Wrap might seem intimidating, but it’s actually quite simple. Here’s how to do it:

  1. Place your ingredients in a line in the center of your tortilla, leaving about an inch of space on either end.
  2. Fold the end of the tortilla closest to you up and over the filling, tucking it in tightly.
  3. Fold in the two sides of the tortilla toward the center to create a pocket around the filling.
  4. Tightly roll the wrap away from you, pressing the filling in as you go. Be sure to tuck in the sides as you roll to create a tight seal.
  5. Use a sharp knife to slice the wrap in half diagonally or straight across the middle.

QUICK TIP

Alternatively, you can choose to skip the step of folding in the sides and instead roll up the Turkey Wrap tightly like a cylinder.

Are Wraps Healthy?

The healthfulness of a wrap depends on the specific ingredients used and the portion size. In general, wraps can be a healthy option when made with nutrient-dense ingredients and portioned appropriately.

Wraps are a good source of fiber and protein if you fill them with lean protein, vegetables, and healthy fats. For example, using turkey breast, avocado, lettuce, and tomato, as called for in this recipe can provide a balanced meal with a good mix of nutrients.

VARIATIONS

Switch Things Up!

  • Southwest Turkey Wrap: Use sliced turkey breast, black beans, corn, avocado, salsa, and sharp Cheddar cheese.
  • Greek Turkey Wrap: Fill your wrap with sliced turkey, cucumber, tomato, red onion, feta cheese, and a dollop of tzatziki for a fresh and flavorful Greek-inspired wrap.
  • Caesar Turkey Wrap: Use sliced turkey breast, romaine lettuce, Parmesan cheese, and Caesar dressing for a delicious twist on a classic Caesar salad.
  • BBQ Turkey Wrap: Shred leftover turkey, mix it with your favorite BBQ sauce, and wrap it up with coleslaw and pickles for a tangy and satisfying wrap.
  • Pesto Turkey Wrap: Spread pesto on your wrap, add sliced turkey, roasted red peppers, and fresh mozzarella for an Italian-inspired wrap.

STORAGE

If you want to store Turkey Wraps, it’s best to keep the ingredients separate and assemble them just before eating. This will help keep the wraps from getting soggy and will ensure that all the ingredients are fresh when you’re ready to eat.

When you’re ready to eat, simply assemble the wrap and enjoy!

    I found your site yesterday when looking for healthy recipes. We made these (sorry, minus the avocado!) last night with leftover turkey from Thanksgiving (we’re in Canada!) and they were delish! I have Celiac so I substituted a gluten free wrap but it was easy enough for our kids to make dinner and we all devoured them. Definitely going into the rotation of our dinners in the future!

    1. I am so happy to hear this, and so glad you were able to work with what you had! Thanks so much for your comment! 🙂

    This is our go-to wrap. It’s goof-proof and so darn tasty! It’s high time I officially thank you (since today is probably the 50th time I have made it!)
