Turkey Wrap Recipe Ingredients
Let’s break down what we put in these turkey avocado wraps:
- Tortillas – We LOVE Siete foods Cassava & Coconut Tortillas because they’re pliable, hold together well, and are grain and gluten free!
- Mayo – Most mayo is made with highly-processed oils like canola or soybean oil, then filled with artificial binders and sugar. We love this mayo from Primal Kitchen Foods Avocado Oil Mayo because it uses avocado oil and is free from sugar and artificial fillers!
- Turkey breast – We like Applegate Farms Organic Turkey Breast because it is nitrite and nitrate-free, gluten and dairy free, and free of added gums and sugar. As a bonus it is easy to find at your local grocer! Another option would be to check if your deli makes any of their lunch meats in-house, or you could try your hand at making your own!
- Bacon – We love Jones Dairy Farm Uncured Bacon because it is sugar free, made without artificial ingredients, and contains no added nitrates or nitrites.
- Tomato – you’ll need 2 slices of tomato
- Lettuce – we use 1 romaine lettuce leaf for each wrap
- Avocado – 1/4 avocado adds buttery richness
- Black Pepper – if you’d like, add cracked black pepper for garnish
A full ingredient list with exact amounts can be found in the recipe card below.
Recipe Variations and Modifications
Here are a few easy ways to customize these wraps to your taste, or whatever ingredients you have hanging out in the fridge
- Veggies – we made these wraps with avocado, tomatoes, and lettuce. But feel free to use whatever veggies need to be used up in your fridge. Cucumbers, raw or roasted bell peppers, any types of pickles, arugula, or other salad greens are all delicious options.
- Add some cheese – a slice of Swiss or cheddar would be a delicious addition!
How to Make Turkey Wraps
You won’t believe how quickly these wraps come together!
Step 1: Warm your tortilla or wrap according to package instructions.
Place the lettuce on the wrap and smear the mayo on the lettuce. (If you’re making these to eat later this will keep the tortilla from getting soggy and breaking.)
Step 2: Top with the turkey…
Step 3: …then the bacon
Step 4: Finally, layer on the avocado, tomato, and season with black pepper.
Either eat immediately, or refrigerate to eat later!
Recipe Tip
Rethink the wrap – If you’re looking for a lower-carb version of this wrap, wrap your sandwich in large lettuce leaves or a collard green instead of a tortilla (check out our tutorial here). You can also skip the tortilla and wrap everything inside the turkey slices!
How to Serve
Eat these wraps right away, or refrigerate for up to a couple hours. (Avoid assembling them too far in advance since the tortilla can get soggy.)
How to Store
As mentioned above, we don’t recommend making these wraps more than a few hours in advance since the tortilla will get soggy. If you’d like, you can portion out the ingredients other than the tortilla, and assemble them a few hours later.
Frequently Asked Questions
There are lots of options! We like using grain-free tortillas, lettuce leaves, collard greens, or wrapping veggies and other fixings up inside sliced lunch meats.
We like avocado mayo like this sugar-and artificial flavor-free Primal Kitchen Foods because it’s made with avocado oil, which is a good source of vitamin E and health-promoting fatty acids, and has been shown to promote heart health.

Nutrition
Just to buy the ingredients, not counting the things I already had, came to around $250. Who has the money to spent a $1000 a month for one person? It is impossible to buy exact amounts, so there are a lot of leftovers. What should I do then? Throw them out? Or try to make the left-overs last another week?

This tasted great but I will probably just make it a salad next time. GF wraps notoriously disintegrate so I should have known, but eating this wrap was the messiest thing I’ve done all week 😀 Like food dripping down to my elbows while I was holding a completely fallen apart mess of food products that I couldn’t put down without risking never being able to get the components to my mouth. Thankfully I was in the comfort of my own home so it was just me laughing at myself. Maybe I’ll use a blanched collard green next time. That would work.
Easy recipes are my favorite recipes! This is a good one to have when I don’t have a lot of time to make something. thank you!
