Quick & Healthy Turkey Hummus Wrap: Your New Favorite Lunch

There’s something magical about a well-crafted wrap. It’s portable, customizable, and somehow manages to taste even better than the sum of its parts. Today, I’m sharing my go-to lunch recipe that combines lean protein, creamy hummus, and fresh vegetables into one perfectly balanced meal.

Why You’ll Love This Wrap

This Turkey & Hummus Wrap has become my lunchtime staple for good reason. It’s nutritious yet satisfying, takes just minutes to prepare, and delivers a beautiful combination of flavors and textures. The creamy hummus pairs perfectly with the savory turkey, while fresh vegetables add crunch and brightness to every bite.

Ingredients

For this simple yet delicious wrap, you’ll need:

• 1 whole wheat tortilla
• 3-4 slices of turkey breast (deli-style or leftover roasted turkey)
• 2 tablespoons hummus (any flavor)
• ½ cup fresh spinach leaves
• ½ small tomato, sliced
• ¼ avocado (optional, for extra creaminess)
• 1 teaspoon olive oil or balsamic glaze (optional, for added flavor)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Start with the Foundation

Lay your whole wheat tortilla flat on a clean work surface. This will be the canvas for your culinary creation.

2. Spread the Hummus

Evenly spread two tablespoons of hummus across the tortilla, leaving about half an inch from the edges. This flavorful spread not only adds protein and healthy fats but also acts as the “glue” that will help hold your wrap together.

3. Add the Turkey

Place your turkey slices in an even layer on top of the hummus. I prefer using high-quality, minimally processed turkey breast for the best flavor and nutrition profile.

4. Layer the Veggies

Now for the fresh elements! Add your spinach leaves and sliced tomato. If you’re including avocado (which I highly recommend), either mash it with a fork or slice it thinly before adding it on top of your other vegetables.

5. Add a Flavor Boost

For that extra touch of gourmet flavor, drizzle a little olive oil or balsamic glaze over your fillings. This optional step elevates the wrap from good to great!

6. Wrap It Up

Starting from one side, begin rolling the tortilla tightly, tucking in the sides as you go to create a neat package. The hummus will help seal everything together.

7. Slice and Serve

Cut your wrap in half diagonally for that cafe-style presentation. Enjoy immediately, or wrap it in foil if you’re taking it to go.

Make It a Meal

To turn this wrap into a complete and balanced meal, pair it with simple sides like:

• A handful of baby carrots
• Fresh cucumber slices
• A small portion of mixed nuts
• A piece of seasonal fruit

Variations to Try

The beauty of this recipe is its versatility. Here are some ways to mix it up:

• Switch the protein: Try rotisserie chicken, tuna, or falafel for a vegetarian option
• Experiment with hummus flavors: Roasted red pepper, garlic, or everything bagel hummus can change the entire profile of your wrap
• Add extra crunch: Thinly sliced cucumber, grated carrots, or even a sprinkle of sunflower seeds

This Turkey & Hummus Wrap has become my lunchtime salvation on busy workdays. It’s proof that healthy eating doesn’t have to be complicated or time-consuming. Give it a try this week – your taste buds and your body will thank you!
