What to Put in a Tasty Turkey Wrap
Turkey wraps make for a delicious and satisfying lunch or light dinner With the right combination of ingredients, these handheld sandwiches are packed with flavor and nutrition When deciding what to put in a turkey wrap, there are lots of tasty options to consider.
The WrapperThe first step is choosing a wrapper. Flour tortillas, spinach tortillas whole wheat tortillas, lavash flatbread, lettuce leaves and collard greens all make excellent wrap options. Flour tortillas are commonly used for their versatility, while spinach or whole wheat tortillas add extra nutrients. For a low-carb option, wrap the fillings in lettuce leaves or collagen wraps. The wrapper provides the base that brings all the fillings together.
The Protein
Of course, turkey is the star ingredient. Deli turkey, rotisserie turkey, or leftover roasted turkey all work well. Other sliced deli meats like chicken, roast beef, or ham can also be substituted. Beyond meats are a good vegetarian protein choice too. The key is using thinly sliced or shredded meat so it’s easy to bite and chew when wrapped up.
The Produce
Fresh veggies add nutrients, flavor, crunch, and juiciness to turkey wraps. Shredded lettuce or spinach, tomatoes, sliced avocado, shredded carrots, sliced cucumbers, and sliced red onions are all excellent choices. Other options include roasted red peppers, grilled eggplant or zucchini, sprouts, or pickled vegetables like banana peppers.
The Cheese
Cheese is an optional but tasty addition. Cheddar, Swiss, provolone, feta, and havarti all pair wonderfully with turkey. Grated parmesan or shredded mozzarella also melt nicely. For low-carb/keto diets, omit the cheese or use small amounts of hard cheeses like parmesan.
The Spread/Dressing
A smear of a flavorful spread or dressing brings everything together. Options like pesto, hummus, guacamole, ranch dressing, Caesar dressing, sour cream, or cream cheese all work nicely. Basil or sun-dried tomato pestos have delicious Italian flavor. Spicy hummus or guacamole add creaminess and a flavor kick.
The Extras
There are endless possibilities when it comes to extra add-ins. Bacon or prosciutto add a savory, salty crunch. Cranberries, dried fruits like raisins or apricots, and fresh fruits like strawberries or apple slices provide sweetness. Nuts and seeds like sliced almonds, sunflower seeds, or pepitas add crunch and protein. Herbs like basil, cilantro, or dill boost flavor. Spices like curry powder, chili powder, or cumin can lend warmth and complexity.
Putting It All Together
When assembling your turkey wrap, spread a layer of your chosen dressing or sauce over the wrap first to act as a flavorful glue. Next, layer the protein, produce, and any cheese or extras. Avoid overstuffing the wrap, as you want it to wrap and eat neatly. Take care when rolling the wrap to keep the ends tucked in. Cut in half, secure with toothpicks if needed, and enjoy! With so many possibilities, you can create a different tasty turkey wrap every day.
How to Make Turkey Wraps
It’s super easy to make the best turkey wrap ever!
- Spread cream cheese and cranberry sauce equally between two tortillas.
- Divide remaining ingredients over the two wraps.
- Roll tightly and refrigerate in plastic wrap or serve immediately.
Tips for Perfect Wraps
- If you heat the tortillas in the microwave for a short time, they won’t break as you roll them.
- Make sure that the sauces and ingredients are about ½ inch from the edges all the way around. This will help keep everything from spilling out.
- Once turkey wraps are all put together, they should be tightly wrapped in plastic wrap and put in the fridge. Make them ahead of time; they’ll stay good in the fridge for up to 4 days.
- Put some spreadable cream cheese on the tortilla before adding the other things to make pinwheels for a party. Cover with plastic wrap and put in the fridge for at least two hours or overnight. Cut into 1″ slices.
PRO TIP: The best way to roll wraps is like wrapping a burrito. Once everything is in place, fold the tortilla up about a quarter of the way from the bottom and then overlap it from left to right. Folding up from the bottom keeps all the goodies inside!.
