Turkey Avocado Veggie Wraps

Meet your new favorite lunch OR easy dinner recipe!
These wraps are loaded with crunch and flavor, and they only take a few minutes to roll up!
Starts with Avocado Spread
These tasty little wraps start with a simple avocado spread. Not only does it add a creamy element and yummy flavor, the spread is also the literal glue that keeps these wraps from unraveling.
- ripe avocado
- fresh lime juice
- sour cream or mayo
- salt and pepper
It’s basically guacamole made creamy, and it is DELICIOUS.
Best Veggies for the Turkey Wraps
Fresh vegetables make a very notable appearance in these wraps.
They add crunch, flavor, pops of juiciness, and an overall “pat-yourself-on-the-back-for-eating-so-many-veggies-at-lunch” element that will keep you beaming all the way to the pan of brownies for dessert.
It goes without saying that the vegetables can be totally customized to your preferences or what you have on hand. I like to use the following:
- fresh spinach
- shredded carrots or broccoli slaw (the prepackaged mix in the salad section at the store – usually has shredded broccoli and shredded carrots)
- cucumbers
- bell peppers
- cherry tomatoes
Talk about a lesson in eating your colors! Gorgeous veggies 😍
How to Assemble the Wraps
A very straightforward process, assembling these wraps is super quick!
The most important steps are:
- spreading the avocado spread over the entire wrap (leaving just a slight border around the edge)
- stacking the turkey and veggies only on one half of the wrap
This makes it a lot easier to make sure all the veggies and turkey stay INSIDE when rolling up the wrap. It also allows that avocado spread to seal the wrap closed once it’s fully rolled up.
Wrap Flavors
You can use any variety of tortilla or wrap for these turkey avocado veggie wraps.
The most common wrap flavors at my local grocery store are spinach and sun-dried tomato, and both of those are delicious with these ingredients.
You can also use a plain flour tortilla, a low-carb wrap, or whatever type of flatbread catches your eye to be the vehicle for rolling up the avocado spread + turkey + veggies.
Adding a sprinkle of salt and pepper and a splash of olive oil and vinegar to the veggies before rolling up adds an amazing boost of flavor!
These fresh and flavorful wraps are one of my favorite things to make for lunch. Just for me. By myself. At home.
The only downside is that when I know I have the ingredients for them, it leaves me wanting to eat lunch at, like, 9:06 a.m. Although, maybe these wouldn’t be half bad for breakfast either??
They also make a wonderful grab-and-go, light and healthy dinner. For this option, I roll up the wraps, cut them in half, and wrap each half tightly in plastic wrap (could also use parchment or foil). We’ve schlepped them everywhere from wrestling meets to church youth night activities.
Because they are customizable, that means you can make them with all YOUR favorite veggies and ingredients!

Turkey Avocado Veggie Wraps
Ingredients
- 1 medium avocado
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise or sour cream
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- Salt and pepper
- 4 tortillas or wraps (10- to 12-inches)
- 8 ounces shaved deli turkey
- 4 cups torn or chopped fresh spinach
- 1 cup shredded carrots or broccoli slaw mix
- 1 English cucumber, cut into thin matchstick slices
- 1 cup halved cherry or grape tomatoes
- 2 bell peppers, orange, red, yellow or green, cut into thin slices
- ½ cup finely shredded Parmesan cheese (optional)
- Oil and vinegar (optional
- Salt and pepper
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mash the avocado, sour cream or mayo, lime juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper together until combined.
- To assemble the wraps, spread a couple tablespoons of the avocado spread over the wrap (leaving a thin border around the edge).
- Layer the following on one half of the wrap: turkey, spinach, carrots (or broccoli slaw), cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, bell peppers, Parmesan cheese.
- Sprinkle with salt and pepper and a dash of olive oil and favorite vinegar (balsamic is delicious here), if desired.
- Starting from the edge loaded with turkey and veggies, roll up tightly. The avocado spread should help "seal" the wrap closed on the long edge.
- Cut in half. Serve immediately or refrigerate, well wrapped, for an hour or so before serving (any longer and the avocado spread may darken in color – doesn't affect the taste).
These were so good!! My 3, 6, & 9 yr old all gobbled them up too. You recommended balsamic vinegar and I had a balsamic reduction glaze in a bottle (usually for pizzas) and it was so good in these wraps! Definitely making these a few more times while it’s hot out. They were great served with cold watermelon slices.
I could live off of only this meal! It’s so easy and so tasty!
Might just be making these wraps fairly often…so delicious! Thank you!
I was looking for a simple, yummy lunch to feed some friends for lunch. These wraps nailed it! Super refreshing and delicious.
These are simple, fresh and delicious!! I will make them often!
I didn’t have any turkey so we used bacon, which was also good.
I was looking for something quick and filling and this was perfect… I feel like I just won the “simple/delicious/healthy lottery” (is that a thing?). Thank you, thank you! Perfect on a low carb wrap, too, so… bless you.
These were super easy and tasty! I loved that the meal came together quickly, but still felt like I put forth some sort of effort for dinner. This will be really nice to have in our meal rotation once the summer heat is raging here in the South. 🙂
Just saw wraps made of vegetables at Albertsons in the deli. The mango one looked especially appealing!
These wraps were so good! I had smaller tortillas but they worked perfect for my husband and me!! They made for a light and tasty lunch.
Thanks, Ann – glad you loved the wraps!
Loved these for an easy, refreshing dinner. I forgot the Parmesan, but they were still tasty!
My husband doesn’t usually enjoy wraps, but he devoured this. We loved the crunch and the zing the red wine vinegar gave. So good, thanks!
Love hearing this. Thanks, Maryann!
How long does the avocado spread keep? This looks like an amazing school/work lunch, which I typically make the night before. Also, if I have the ingredients, I would make them a couple days in a row. So they would not be assembled days in advance, but the spread would be. Would it survive for a few days, covered in the fridge?
Hey Kristi, I think it would actually do *ok* – especially if you press plastic wrap directly to the surface and then cover with a lid.
I made the wraps on Wednesday night for dinner, put leftovers in tupperware and refrigerated it. We finished it all off over the next few days and the avocado didn’t have any noticeable discoloration for us, so it’s definitely worth making ahead. 🙂
Oh, I even assembled a couple of wraps for my husband’s lunch and they weren’t soggy when he took them out of his lunchbox the next day. I’ll have to try making extra to last a couple of days, too, and see how it goes!
ooooh… I’m making this WRAP speed ahead! ( you know instead of warp speed?) *sigh* The exciting part is that avocados are cheap right now coming in ahead of National Appetizer Day aka superbowl. ve putting oil and vinegar on my sandwiches like this- that’s my go to at most sandwich shops. I always add oil/vinegar and salt and pepper. Sometimes they over salt and pepper though. lol I’m making these this week for sure!
Happy Monday Mel!
Haha, you make me laugh, Andrea.
Chewing this deliciousness as I type – Mel, how do you do it? You take basic stuff and make it over the top delicious! Soooo good! I’m not even an oil & vinegar person but I did it bc you said to try it – so yummy!!!!
Yay, Barbara! So happy you loved this simple recipe!
I love having simple, easy, and healthy lunch options! Thanks for the recipe Mel!
Hi these look great and I’d like to ask how far ahead can I prepare them, do they get soggy after awhile? My spouse works nights want them to eat soggy wraps by the time he gets his dinner break.
Hi Irma, a lot will probably depend on the brand of tortilla/wrap, but I’ve made them ahead probably 3-4 hours and they were fine. The wrap was a bit more soft but not soggy.
This is a close replica of one of my favorite sandwiches/wraps, mine needs to include bacon, and sometimes smoked gouda.
You are just a genius. We love wraps for any meal, but I have never thought about an avocado spread. These gems will be made this week and I will report my boys’ ratings (if I add that pan of brownies for dessert, they will rate a 5 star).
They all loved these (eating and saying “so good”) AND they were full (hard to accomplish with 3 teenage boys). I forgot the oil and vinegar but will definitely make them again. Many compliments
Yay, Sheila! Thanks for letting me know!
