Healthy Turkey Wraps

Last year, I shared two wrap recipes: Turkey Cranberry Wrap and Chicken Caesar Wrap. This year, I’m sharing another wrap that’s been a big hit at my home!

Wraps are a go-to for lunch and make a quick, easy dinner. I love packing a few with some fruit, veggies, chips, and drinks for a picnic at kids’ games or soaking up nice summer warm days!

Are Turkey and Cheese Wraps Healthy?

I love these wraps because they’re tasty and satisfying.

Dietary Swaps:

  • Siete® Turkey Wrap: Use Cassava Tortillas for a gluten-free and nut-free option. They can break easily, so warm them in the microwave for 8-10 seconds before using.
  • Turkey Spinach Wrap: Add a handful of baby spinach for extra veggies.
  • Healthy Spinach Wrap: Swap the tortilla for a Spinach Wrap.

All the ingredients in this recipe set out for easy assembly.

Ingredients

  • Flour Tortillas: Use your favorite kind.
  • Deli Turkey: Freshly sliced works best. Boar’s Head® and Hillshire Farm are great choices. Deli ham is a tasty alternative. For less sodium or nitrites, look for organic or natural options.
  • White Cheddar Cheese: Sargento® aged white Cheddar is my favorite. Sharp yellow Cheddar is also great in these Healthy Turkey Wraps.
  • Mayo: Light mayo works well too.
  • Apple: Granny Smith apples add a sweet and tart contrast to the turkey.
  • Lemon: Adds a fresh, bright flavor. For more lemon flavor, add the zest of a lemon.
  • Coleslaw Mix: A store-bought coleslaw mix is quick and easy. Find it in the produce section near salad mixes.

The coleslaw mix ingredients being added to a bowl for these healthy turkey wraps.

How To Make Healthy Turkey Wraps

  1. Make Coleslaw: Mix coleslaw, grated apple, mayo, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
  2. Prepare Tortillas: Spread a thin layer of mayo on each tortilla.
  3. Add Fillings: Place deli turkey in the center, add cheese slices, and divide coleslaw evenly.
  4. Wrap and Serve: Roll up tortillas tightly, cut in half, and enjoy!

What to Serve with Healthy Turkey Wraps:

  1. Fresh Fruit: Sliced apples, grapes, or a simple fruit salad.
  2. Veggie Sticks: Carrot sticks, cucumber slices, or bell pepper strips with hummus or ranch for dipping.
  3. Chips: I love sweet potato chips on the side of these wraps!
  4. Salad: A light garden salad goes great on the side.
  5. Roasted Vegetables: Roasted broccoli, cauliflower, or Brussels sprouts.

Mixing together the coleslaw mixture to fill these burritos.

Storage

How to Store Healthy Turkey Wraps

  • Wraps: Best enjoyed fresh. If storing, wrap tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 1 day. It will get soggy as it sits.
  • Coleslaw: Store separately in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
