A quick and wholesome turkey wrap with creamy hummus and fresh veggies, perfect for a healthy lunch or light dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large whole wheat or spinach tortilla (8–10 inch)
  • 3 tablespoons hummus (classic or flavored like roasted red pepper)
  • 4–5 ounces thinly sliced turkey breast (leftover roast or deli-sliced)
  • ½ cup cucumber, julienned or thinly sliced
  • ½ cup carrot, shredded or thin strips
  • 1 cup baby spinach or mixed greens
  • ¼ cup red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • Optional: a few slices of ripe avocado
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: a sprinkle of lemon juice or a drizzle of balsamic vinegar

Instructions

  1. Rinse all fresh produce thoroughly under cold water. Julienne or thinly slice the cucumber and red bell pepper into matchstick-sized pieces. Shred or peel the carrot into thin strips. Pat dry the spinach or mixed greens with a kitchen towel. (5 minutes)
  2. Slice the turkey thinly against the grain if using leftover roast turkey. For deli turkey, separate slices to avoid clumping. (2 minutes)
  3. Optional: Heat a dry skillet over medium heat and warm the tortilla for about 15-20 seconds per side until pliable but not crisp. (2-3 minutes)
  4. Lay the tortilla flat on your workspace. Spread about 3 tablespoons of hummus evenly over the surface, leaving roughly a 1-inch border around the edges. (1 minute)
  5. Layer the turkey slices evenly over the hummus. Add the cucumber, carrot, bell pepper, and greens in a neat line down the center of the tortilla. Add avocado slices if using. (3 minutes)
  6. Sprinkle freshly ground black pepper over the filling. Drizzle a tiny splash of lemon juice or balsamic vinegar if desired, keeping it minimal to avoid sogginess. (30 seconds)
  7. Carefully fold one edge of the tortilla over the filling, tuck the sides in, and continue rolling tightly but gently until sealed. (1-2 minutes)
  8. Using a sharp knife, slice the wrap diagonally in half. Serve immediately or wrap tightly in parchment paper or foil for later. (1 minute)

Notes

Pat veggies dry before assembling to prevent sogginess. Warm tortilla slightly for easier rolling. Assemble just before eating or keep wrapped tightly and refrigerated for up to 24 hours. Customize with different hummus flavors or veggies. For gluten-free, use lettuce leaves or gluten-free tortillas. For vegetarian, substitute turkey with grilled tofu or chickpeas.
