before starting

Before making this healthy lunch, here are some important things to know:

  • Low carb ideas. Swap the tortillas for large lettuce leaves (lettuce works best) and turn them into lettuce wraps.
  • Crispy bacon is key. Bake the turkey bacon in batches and store in the refrigerator. It stays good for 5 days and reheats well. Here’s How to Cook Turkey Bacon in the Oven!
  • Add fresh herbs. Try adding some fresh herbs if available. Basil, parsley or chives are all lovely in this wrap. They add flavor without adding calories.
  • Dry the vegetables. Soggy lettuce or tomato = soggy wrap. Pat everything dry before layering.
  • Roll it up tightly. Tuck the sides in and roll up like a burrito so everything stays in place.
  • Customize based on what you have. This is a great refrigerator cleaner, so use what you have!

How to Make Turkey BLT Wraps

These turkey wraps are the easiest lunch ever and so quick to assemble! Here’s how to do it:

1. Start with dissemination

Mix the mayonnaise and mustard together and spread it over the tortillas so they combine nicely and give each bite the perfect creamy and tangy flavor.

hint: You can use any seasoning combination you like. Ranch, hummus, or even a little pesto would work too!

2. Protein layer

Add cooked turkey slices and cooked turkey bacon. Feel free to swap in chicken, ham or plant-based deli slices to suit your needs.

3. Stack vegetables

I added creamy avocado, juicy tomatoes, crunchy cucumbers, crisp lettuce, and sprouts. Use any fresh veggies you like or have in the fridge!

4. Seasons and rolling

Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Fold the sides over, roll it up burrito style, or cut it in half if you like. Serve immediately or wrap for later.

hint: Warm the tortillas in the microwave for 10-15 seconds to make them easier to roll without tearing.

The turkey wrap features BLT fillings including bacon, turkey, avocado, tomato and lettuce wrapped in a tortilla.

Serving BLT turkey rolls

These turkey wraps can be enjoyed on their own, but you can make a heartier meal by pairing them with:

Storing Turkey Rolls

If you make the turkey BLT rolls ahead of time, they should be wrapped tightly in plastic wrap. Stay intact. When you’re ready to enjoy, unwrap and slice. Put it in the refrigerator.

Properly stored turkey BLT rolls will keep in the refrigerator for about a day. You can make the sandwiches the night before or in the morning. However, for best results, it is not recommended that you go too far in advance. It’s best if your turkey BLT burrito is as fresh as possible.

FAQ

Here are some answers to questions you may have in mind!

How do I prevent my wrap from getting soggy?

To prevent your wrap from getting soggy, keep a few tips in mind.

First, when you assemble the package, try to protect the tortillas from the water component. For example, place a lettuce leaf on top of a tomato. Lettuce provides a layer of protection.

Second, when assembling the package, make sure the vegetables are completely dry. If your lettuce is still wet, it may cause the tortillas to become soggy.

Finally, enjoy a fresh wrap. Eat your packet immediately for best results.

How do you wrap tortillas?

You can wrap your turkey BLT like a burrito. Place filling in center of tortilla. Fold the sides. Fold the bottom flap over the filling and roll up. That’s it!

How to heat wraps?

If you want to enjoy this warm wrap, you have a few options.

You can just warm the tortillas in the microwave and cover with a paper towel. Last 15 to 30 seconds. You can also warm the tortillas in the oven. Wrap tortillas in aluminum foil and reheat at 350°F, about 10 to 20 minutes. Then fill, roll, and enjoy.

You can also heat up turkey BLT wraps. If you have an electric grill, lightly brush it with some oil. Place plastic wrap on the grill and remove once grill marks appear.

If you don’t have an electric grill, heat the burritos on a lightly greased pan. Heat on high for a few minutes, then flip. Boil the pan for another minute or two. Cut in half and enjoy!

Can I use regular bacon instead of turkey bacon?

Yes, absolutely! Regular bacon will give your burrito a classic smoky, salty flavor. Keep in mind that it’s a bit higher in fat and calories than turkey bacon, so the bottom line is whichever one works best for your needs. If you’re making a few rolls ahead of time, cook the bacon until extra crispy so it keeps well in the refrigerator.
