Ingredient Highlights
- Turkey Breast: A lean source of protein, turkey breast provides the bulk of the wrap’s filling, making it both satisfying and healthy.
- Lavash Bread: This thin, soft flatbread is a wonderful alternative to heavier wraps like tortillas and provides a great base for your ingredients.
- Mixed Greens and Vegetables: Fresh vegetables like cucumber, tomatoes, and red onion add a crisp, refreshing crunch to each bite of the wrap.
- Hummus: This creamy, flavorful spread adds a Middle Eastern twist and complements the turkey and veggies wonderfully. It’s also a great source of plant-based protein.
- Olive Oil and Lemon: The olive oil adds richness, while the lemon juice brightens up the flavors, making this wrap feel fresh and vibrant.
Instructions
Prepare the Ingredients:
- Wash and Slice the Vegetables: Begin by washing the mixed greens and slicing the cucumber, tomato, and red onion into thin, even slices. Shred the carrots if they aren’t pre-shredded.
- Prepare the Turkey: If you’re using deli-sliced turkey breast, make sure the slices are stacked and ready to go. If you’re using cooked turkey, slice it into thin strips or bite-sized pieces.
- Prepare the Lavash Bread: If desired, warm the lavash bread in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 1-2 minutes on each side to make it softer and more pliable. This step is optional but can help prevent the bread from tearing while rolling.
Assemble the Wraps:
- Spread the Hummus or Tahini: Lay each lavash bread sheet flat on a clean surface. Spread a thin layer of hummus or tahini across the center of the lavash, leaving a little room at the edges for folding.
- Layer the Veggies and Turkey: On top of the hummus, evenly layer the mixed greens, sliced cucumber, tomato, red onion, and shredded carrots. Then, place the sliced turkey breast over the vegetables, making sure it’s spread out evenly.
- Drizzle with Olive Oil and Lemon: If desired, drizzle a little olive oil over the ingredients and add a squeeze of lemon juice. Season with salt, pepper, and chili flakes to taste. Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro, if using.
Roll the Wraps:
- Roll the Lavash: Carefully fold in the sides of the lavash bread, then gently roll it up from the bottom to the top, ensuring the ingredients are tightly packed inside. The soft lavash will form a neat, secure wrap.
Serve the Turkey Lavash Wraps:
- Slice and Serve: Once rolled, slice each wrap into halves or quarters, depending on your preference. Serve immediately or refrigerate for later.
