A quick and easy lunch wrap combining lean turkey, creamy avocado, and flavorful hummus in a whole wheat wrap. Perfect for meal prep and packed with protein and healthy fats.

Ingredients

Scale
  • Whole wheat wraps
  • 4 ounces lean sliced turkey breast (nitrate-free if possible)
  • 1 ripe avocado
  • 2 tablespoons hummus (classic or roasted red pepper)
  • Handful of baby spinach
  • ¼ cup thinly sliced cucumber
  • 6 cherry tomatoes, halved (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Olive oil (optional, for drizzling)

Instructions

  1. Cut one ripe avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Add about 1 teaspoon (5 ml) of fresh lemon juice and a pinch of salt. Mash with a fork until mostly smooth but still a bit chunky (about 3 minutes).
  2. Thinly slice ¼ cup (30g) cucumber and halve 6 cherry tomatoes. Rinse a handful of baby spinach and pat dry (about 5 minutes).
  3. Place a whole wheat wrap flat on a clean surface. Spread 2 tablespoons (30g) of hummus evenly over the wrap, leaving about an inch from the edges.
  4. Layer approximately 4 ounces (115g) of lean sliced turkey breast over the hummus, covering the center evenly.
  5. Spread the mashed avocado on top of the turkey, mostly in the middle but close to the edges.
  6. Scatter baby spinach, cucumber slices, and cherry tomatoes evenly over the avocado. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
  7. Fold the sides of the wrap inward, then tightly roll from one end to the other, tucking ingredients in as you go (about 2 minutes).
  8. Cut the wrap diagonally in half for serving. If packing for later, wrap tightly in plastic wrap or parchment paper.

Notes

To keep avocado fresh and prevent browning, mix with lemon juice and wrap tightly. For meal prep, add juicy veggies like tomatoes just before eating to avoid sogginess. Use freshly sliced turkey or roast your own for better flavor and less sodium. If wrap tears, patch with spinach or fold tighter. Optional olive oil drizzle adds richness.
