10-Minute Whole Wheat Turkey Avocado Wrap Recipe

A simple and filling wrap recipe with whole wheat tortillas, turkey, tomato, greens, and avocado. Make these whole wheat turkey wraps with avocado ahead for weekday lunches, picnics or day trips, or just whip one up at home any time.

this recipe

This turkey avocado wrap is one of those recipes that's truly so basic, but just SO good, every single time. It's been one of my standing go-to wrap recipes for years because the combination of fresh tomatoes, lettuce, avocado, and turkey just hits every single time.

Ready in 10 minutes, these wraps are perfect for a simple work or school lunch, or for packing in kids lunches for summer camps or picnics. And while they're so darn good as written, you could easy zhuzh them up with something pickly-I'm thinking easy pickled red onions, or even a simple jar of cucumber dill fridge pickles (store bought pickles work perfectly, too!). Provolone or dill havarti? Also so good.

Turkey Avocado Wrap: What you Need to KNow

Seasonality

If you're eating seasonally with me, these wraps are best enjoyed in summer, when lettuce and tomato can be grown fresh and locally. It makes a lot of sense, because a chilled fresh veg wrap is exactly what sounds good on a hot day!

The Overfilling Problem & What I Do About It

I still overfill my tortillas. Every time! Some would say you should just put less in your tortilla, and while I sometimes listen to that, and it works... ya girl is a also hungry. So an alternative that has worked well for me is placing a piece of parchment paper beneath the tortilla, then wrapping it with the parchment on the outside when it's time to assemble. You'll basically end up with a little parchment-wrapped burrito that you can cut in half and peel away the parchment as you eat.

Choosing Tortillas

Here's the thing-I used to be hardcore about whole wheat and I'm just not anymore. So use what you like, and what's accessible to you!

I still love whole wheat tortillas because they feel satisfying, nourishing to eat and have nutty taste and sometimes even a grainy texture (which I love). But I also also love a tomato basil wrap, or even a locally made sourdough wrap. One of my go-to brands is Ezekiel, but to be honest, you need to eat those bad boys up quickly or they get way too dry or moldy. So I'll only buy those if I know I'm using them for turkey wraps or another recipe (like breakfast burritos).

Best Ways to Serve

You can make two of these (which I sometimes do), or you could pair them with something else delicious. Here are some ideas:

• Simple side salad - Basic leafy green salad with lemon dressing is perfect here.
• Cucumber salads - Keeping with the summer them here, a cucumber vinegar salad or a creamy cucumber salad are so fresh and easy to make.
• If you're on the go - These hummus and veggie snack jars to get in some extra veg.
• A bean salad - Better yet if you meal-prepped it! But if not, this three bean salad with tahini is so easy to throw together, and made with pantry staples.

Once you have the basic wrap down, you can definitely modify it to make it yours! Think crispy bacon, roasted red peppers, hot peppers, cheese, pesto, mayo, pickles, slaw, fresh herbs, aioli, chips... any or all the sandwich things.
