These delicious Turkey Wraps are a quick and easy meal perfect for lunch or light dinner. Cream cheese blended with mayonnaise and fresh basil creates a flavorful spread that perfectly complements the sliced turkey, crispy turkey bacon, cheddar cheese, and fresh veggies wrapped in soft tortilla. Ready in just 25 minutes, these wraps are great for meal prep or casual gatherings.

Ingredients

Spread

  • 8 oz cream cheese (softened at room temperature)
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • ½ cup fresh basil leaves

Wrap Fillings

  • 6 tortilla wraps (12 inch)
  • 1 pound sliced turkey
  • 6 slices turkey bacon (cooked)
  • 6 slices cheddar cheese
  • ¼ cup red onion (sliced thinly)
  • 2 cups microgreens
  • 6 slices lettuce

Instructions

  1. Prepare the spread: In a food processor or using an electric mixer, combine the softened cream cheese and mayonnaise until smooth. Add fresh basil leaves and pulse briefly until the basil is finely chopped and fully incorporated into the cream cheese mixture.
  2. Spread the mixture: Lay out each tortilla wrap on a flat surface. Spread the cream cheese and basil mixture evenly over the entire surface of the wrap, making sure to cover all the way to one edge. This layer acts as a glue to hold the wrap together.
  3. Layer the fillings: Place sliced turkey over the spread, leaving about 1 inch of space from the edges. Add a slice of cooked turkey bacon, a slice of cheddar cheese, thinly sliced red onion, microgreens, and a slice of lettuce towards the bottom portion of the wrap to ensure they stay secure when rolling.
  4. Roll the wraps: Starting from the edge with the fillings, roll the tortilla tightly towards the edge with the cream cheese spread, which helps seal it. Once rolled, wrap each tightly in plastic wrap.
  5. Chill and slice: Refrigerate the wrapped wraps for at least one hour before slicing. Chilling keeps the wraps firm and makes slicing into 2-inch rounds easier. Once chilled, remove plastic wrap, slice into rounds, and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Refrigerating the wraps before slicing is crucial to maintain their shape.
  • You can substitute turkey with chicken or ham if preferred.
  • For a spicy kick, add a few drops of hot sauce or some sliced jalapeño peppers.
  • Use whole wheat or gluten-free tortillas to adapt the recipe as needed.
  • Preparation time can be reduced by using pre-cooked bacon and pre-sliced ingredients.
