With creamy avocado, crisp bacon, and lean turkey layered into soft tortillas, these wraps hit that perfect balance of comfort and brightness. They make a fulfilling lunch that feels special without much effort and are ideal for picnics, meal prep, or a quick dinner when you want every bite to be full of flavor.

These wraps are a go to for me when I have leftover Sunday roast turkey or need a fast lunch before soccer practice. My kids always ask for them in their lunchboxes and they have become a regular in our meal prep lineup

Ingredients

  • Roasted turkey breast slices: look for deli fresh turkey with minimal additives this makes the wraps juicy and full of protein
  • Crisp bacon: opt for thick cut if you like extra crunch make sure to drain it well after cooking to keep the wraps from getting soggy
  • Ripe avocado: go for one that yields slightly to gentle pressure for perfect creamy slices
  • Mayonnaise: choose your favorite regular light or flavored for a hint of extra zing
  • Mixed greens: fresh spring mix or baby spinach adds color crunch and nutrition avoid greens that are wilting or yellowed
  • Large flour tortillas or flavored wraps: pick a fresh pack and feel the tortillas to ensure they are soft whole wheat or tomato basil varieties also work beautifully

Step by Step Instructions

Warm the Tortillas:
Gently heat each tortilla for about 10 to 15 seconds in the microwave or on a dry skillet until just flexible this prevents tearing and helps with rolling
Spread the Mayo:
Use the back of a spoon or a small spatula to coat each tortilla evenly with mayonnaise going right to the edges so every bite is moist
Layer the Fillings:
Lay two slices of turkey in the center of each tortilla Break one bacon slice in half and arrange over the turkey Nestle a few avocado slices on top then add a generous handful of greens for color and crunch
Roll the Wraps:
Fold the sides of the tortilla inward to hold the filling then roll up tightly from the bottom keep the wrap compact by tucking and rolling as you go
Slice and Serve:
Cut each wrap in half at a diagonal with a sharp knife to show off the beautiful layers serve right away for best texture or wrap in parchment to enjoy later

Avocado is always my favorite part I love the creamy richness and often add a little squeeze of lime right over the slices to keep them looking fresh The first time I packed these on a family beach day they were completely gone before we even unpacked the towels

Storage Tips

Wrap each assembled turkey club tightly in foil or parchment and refrigerate if you’re meal prepping Enjoy within two days for freshest texture and flavor For packed lunches keep a cold pack in the bag to maintain quality

Ingredient Substitutions

For a dairy free version swap mayo for avocado or hummus Try sliced grilled chicken or roast beef instead of turkey Add a slice of cheese or some roasted red peppers for extra flavor

Frequently Asked Questions About Recipes

→ What's the best turkey to put inside these wraps?

Go for deli turkey breast—it's tender and tasty. If you have leftover roasted turkey at home, that's great too.

→ How do I stop my avocado turning brown?

Splash a bit of lemon or lime juice on the avocado slices before adding them so they don’t go brown fast.

→ What can I use instead of mayo?

Mix it up with ranch, hummus, or maybe some spicy mustard. Any of those make the wraps super flavorful.

→ How do I make these work if I can’t have gluten or need fewer carbs?

Just pick gluten-free or low-carb tortillas, or grab big leaves of lettuce instead to wrap things up lighter.

→ What else can I toss in for extra flavor?

Try adding in cucumbers, tomato slices, cheese, or red onion. Those give your wrap more crunch and freshness.

Ingredients You'll Need

→ Main Components

Ingredient 01 4 big wraps or tortillas (spinach, sundried tomato, whole wheat, or plain options)
Ingredient 02 100 g mixed greens (grab arugula, spinach, or spring mix)
Ingredient 03 60 ml mayonnaise—try it plain, light, or with extra flavor
Ingredient 04 1 ripe avocado sliced nice and thin
Ingredient 05 4 slices bacon, nice and crispy
Ingredient 06 8 deli slices cooked turkey breast

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 01

Use a sharp knife to cut each wrap across the middle. Serve now, or stash in parchment or foil for later.

Step 02

Start by folding the tortilla's sides. Then, roll everything upward from the bottom until you’ve got a solid wrap that keeps the filling in place.

Step 03

Toss a handful of mixed greens on top, then lay out the avocado slices right over the bacon and turkey.

Step 04

Lay two turkey pieces in the center of the tortilla. Put a crispy bacon slice on top—snap it in half if it doesn’t fit.

Step 05

Grab a spatula or a butter knife and coat each tortilla with about 15 ml of mayo so it’s covered edge to edge.

Step 06

Quickly pop your tortillas in the microwave or toast on a nonstick pan—just enough to make them bendy, not too hot.

Extra Tips and Tricks

  1. To keep avocado fresh and green, swipe a bit of lime or lemon juice over the slices first.
  2. No mayo? Go with hummus, some spicy mustard, or even ranch for something different.
  3. Want to mix it up? Throw in cheese, cucumber, tomato, or some thin red onion.
  4. Trying to cut carbs? Use lettuce leaves or swap in a low-carb tortilla.
  5. Bake bacon for best crunch—pop it in the oven at 200°C on a baking sheet, 12–15 minutes and it's crispy.
