Turkey Wrap – Easy Lunch or Dinner!
Make your own turkey wrap sandwich with spreadable cream cheese, deli sliced turkey, lettuce, cucumbers, and avocado. Perfect for lunches or an easy dinner.
Turkey wraps are quick, easy, and healthy. This recipe is also extremely versatile. It’s really more of an idea, rather than a recipe. You can take it and run with it, any way you like.
Vegetarian? Sure, why not? More meat? Go for it. Want it warm? Throw it in a panini press. Or you could throw in the microwave, but don’t cheat yourself. The crispy wrap or tortilla with be worth the [tiny bit of] extra work.
Wrapped in plastic wrap or waxed paper, a turkey wrap is works really well for a school or a work lunch. Make a few at a time. Just keep it on ice or in a fridge.
What’s in a Turkey Wrap?
This is what I put in mine but you can make yours any way you like.
- whole wheat tortilla
- reduced fat chive and onion cream cheese
- deli sliced turkey
- sliced cucumbers
- leaf lettuce
- sliced avocado
Spread tortilla with cream cheese. Add meat and vegetables. Roll up, secure with toothpick (optional), enjoy!
Or grill the wrap briefly in a panini press or George Foreman grill until heated through and tortilla is crispy.
Make it your own:
- Try hummus instead of the cream cheese spread. Flavored or original–either would be delicious!
- For a vegetarian wrap, try this black bean spread.
- Add shredded or sliced cheese.
- Add thinly sliced red bell peppers.
- Add shredded carrot.
- Add thinly sliced red onion. Tip: soak the onions briefly in ice water to remove some of the strong flavor.
- Use leftover roasted or rotisserie chicken instead of turkey.
- Use any meat you love: ham, roast beef, salami, bologna, etc.
- Add a couple of strips of bacon.
- Try it on this bread.
The possibilities are endless! I’d love to hear some of your ideas.
Make ahead and storage tips
Like I mentioned, these wraps are perfect for lunches. Make a few, wrap them tightly, and store in the fridge for up to three days. They’re all ready to grab and go.

That looks so refreshing right now! What an easy lunch idea.
Oh what great ideas you guys have! Love them!
Brittany–I definitely cheated in that department and had Jimmy Johns a few times while I was preggers :)
I love turkey wraps like this! I'd maybe sub the avocado for apple!
Cream cheese does add such a flavor punch- YUM! Plus, I love anything with cream cheese.
I will say, hummus is a good topping, too. So many options. I miss deli meat and look forward to a turkey sandwich every now and then come September :)
I love lunches like these. I go through phases of bringing the same thing to lunch and try to jazz it up a bit each time. I think a cranberry spread would go great with this!
