Ingredient Notes
- Spinach Tortilla Wraps: I love using a spinach wrap, but any burrito-size flour tortilla would work. I believe I’ve even seen sundried tomato, which sounds delicious.There are also whole wheat tortillas for a healthy option. Just be sure to choose a large tortilla.
- Deli Turkey: Sliced turkey is my go-to lunch meat. I love its mild taste and how the bacon really shines through. But feel free to use any deli meat you like (roast beef, ham, etc.). You could even use leftover chicken, rotisserie chicken, or leftover Thanksgiving turkey if you want.
- Filling: You can easily mix up the fillings with whatever you have on hand! Add in cheese and other fresh veggies (sliced bell peppers, cucumber, shredded carrots, black beans, red onions, etc), and use different lettuce (romaine, baby spinach, sprouts, microgreens). Your turkey wrap possibilities are endless!
- Condiments: I use mustard and my homemade mayonnaise for my healthy wraps. You can use Dijon mustard, ranch dressing, honey mustard sauce, olive oil, vinegar, and more.
Step-by-Step Instructions
What I love about this turkey wrap recipe is that it is SO easy to make, especially for a busy day! It’s honestly one of my favorite things to make for a perfect easy lunch. It would also make a yummy and quick dinner!
- Start with a big spinach tortilla, the kind meant for burritos, to ensure there is plenty of room to stuff and wrap!
- Layer on mayo, mustard, turkey, avocado, bacon, tomato, and lettuce.
- Wrap it up, and lunch is served.
Turkey Club Sandwich Wrap | Keto Option!
To make this turkey wrap Keto, choose one of these options!
- Skip the tortilla and sandwich your ingredients in between two leaves of butter lettuce! It won’t be a turkey “wrap”, but you’ll get the satisfying crunch of the lettuce, and the feeling of a sandwich with all the yummy fillings!
- Grab a pack of low-carb, tortillas and substitute them instead of the regular Mission spinach wrap. Keep your eyes out for “Carb Smart” tortillas, which are a great option for this turkey wrap. Keep in mind that they are a bit smaller than regular burrito-size tortillas, but they will still work, just might not wrap as well.
Expert Tips
- Meal Prep: This spinach wrap recipe is perfect to make ahead because the tortilla doesn’t get soggy as bread does.
- To meal prep, make 3 turkey wraps at a time, eat one, and then cover and refrigerate the other two.
- Cover the extra turkey wraps tightly in plastic wrap, keeping them completely covered.
- Store them in an airtight container so everything stays super fresh!
- Tomato: After slicing tomatoes, pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture so the tortilla won’t get soggy.
- Lettuce: Shred your lettuce. It makes it much easier to get in an even row in the turkey wrap because the lettuce is all an even size. You must try it.
- Toasted: If you prefer this wrap warmed up, I recommend warming the tortilla on the stovetop over medium heat. You can also use the microwave if preferred.
- Gluten-Free: If you are gluten-free, feel free to make the keto version or use your favorite gluten-free tortilla.
Recipe FAQs
How do I store my leftover turkey wrap?
Cover tightly in plastic wrap and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. If making it in advance, I love to squeeze lemon juice on my avocado to prevent it from browning.
Can I freeze this sandwich wrap?
This turkey wrap does not freeze well, I do not recommend freezing it.
Is this turkey wrap keto-friendly?
Unfortunately, no. While they are a super healthy and balanced lunch option, if you’re eating Keto or Low carb, follow the simple steps above to make this delicious spinach wrap keto-friendly!

I’m not going to lie, I was very skeptical on whether I’d like this bc of the tomatoes and avocado. I procrastinated making it, but broke tonight and finally did and… OMG. This is so good! I am inlove. The stuff to make this will be mandatory in my house haha. I made a small cucumber salad on the side and it was all just great! My 11 year old asked me to start making them for her for lunch to take to school so even she approves! 5 stars! Love it! Will eat it again… and again :) fav wrap hands down-

Hit for the whole family. My store didn’t have spinach wraps so we sub’d the tomato wrap and omitted tomato. I figured the cost for 2 full wraps around $10, cut in 2’s for just over $2.50 per serving! Excellent healthy lunch option for the entire family.-
