Turkey Wraps Recipe
These turkey wraps are an easy, healthy lunch idea that will keep you full until dinner.
I get asked a lot about what kinds of food are good to pack for lunches. Food that you can either pack in your lunch box or easily assemble at work.
This one falls under the “assemble at work” category. Pack the individual components and enjoy a delicious and very filling wrap on your lunch break.
Now, I realize this is not a novel idea. The truth is, you could put just about anything in a wrap. But I like this one because it reminds me very much of eating a sandwich and salad for lunch, only faster because it’s all put together into one handy wrap. And if you need it to be even more filling, you could try spreading some tahini or hummus on the wrap before loading it up. Tons of fiber and no hunger pangs before your next meal!
About The Ingredients
Standard-size tortilla – No sugar added. Gluten-free if needed.
Shredded, baked turkey breast – These can be leftovers if you have them. Chicken works, too, if you don’t have turkey.
Spring mix lettuce – Or any greens you prefer.
Cherry tomatoes – Grape tomatoes work too.
Dijon mustard – No sugar added
Black pepper – Freshly ground is best.
How To Make Turkey Wraps
Spread the dijon on your wrap, then layer all the other ingredients.
Wrap it up tight and dig in!
Storage
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Note that depending on the tortilla you use, it may become soggy in that time. It’s best to store the components of this and then put the wrap together right before you eat it.
Freezing
Freezing is not recommended for this recipe.

I realize chicken and turkey are interchangeable in a recipe like this, but you have turkey in the title and chicken in the actual recipe. Just so you know!
Amy – Oops! All fixed. 🙂
I enjoy “assemble at work” food because it makes my work lunch feel more homey. It kind of offsets the fluorescent lighting and funny smell of our lunch room! Great idea, Tiffany.
Sarah – I can see where that would be nice! I hope you enjoy the wrap. 🙂
This may be a dumb question, but do you cook the turkey yourself? I know cold cuts are very unhealthy, so looking for easy alternatives!
CWilkins – Yes. I usually make it in my slow cooker and then shred it with forks.
