Double-Protein Turkey & Avocado Power Wrap
High-protein turkey wrap with Greek yogurt, cottage cheese & avocado. 38g protein, meal prep friendly, ready in 15 minutes.
Ingredients
- 4 large whole wheat tortillas (10-inch)
- 8 oz sliced roasted turkey breast, preferably from a rotisserie chicken or fresh-roasted deli counter
- 1 cup low-fat cottage cheese
- 2 ripe avocados, halved and pitted
- 1/2 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt
- 2 tbsp fresh lime juice
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 2 cups fresh spinach leaves, loosely packed
- 1 cup thinly sliced red bell pepper strips
- 1 medium cucumber, sliced into thin spears
- 4 leaves fresh romaine lettuce, torn into wrap-sized pieces
- 1/4 cup diced red onion
- 2 tbsp fresh cilantro, roughly chopped
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 tsp smoked paprika
- 2 tbsp hot sauce or sriracha (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Combine the cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, and lime juice in a small bowl, stirring until you reach a smooth, spreadable consistency.
- 2
Season the cottage cheese mixture with sea salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika, then taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
- 3
Scoop the avocado flesh from the skin using a spoon and place it in a separate bowl.
- 4
Mash the avocado gently with a fork until you reach your preferred texture — leave some small chunks for better bites.
- 5
Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds per side, just until they become pliable and warm.
- 6
Lay out each warm tortilla on a clean work surface and spread approximately 3 tablespoons of the cottage cheese mixture evenly across the bottom half of the tortilla.
- 7
Layer the mashed avocado directly over the yogurt spread, dividing equally among all four wraps.
- 8
Arrange 2 ounces of sliced turkey breast in a single layer across the avocado layer on each wrap.
- 9
Top the turkey with a handful of fresh spinach leaves, followed by a small pile of red bell pepper strips.
- 10
Add cucumber spears, torn romaine lettuce, and diced red onion to each wrap in an even distribution.
- 11
Sprinkle fresh cilantro over the vegetables and drizzle with hot sauce if desired.
- 12
Roll each wrap tightly by folding in the sides first, then rolling from the bottom upward until completely sealed.
- 13
Slice each wrap in half diagonally if desired for easier eating, or wrap tightly in parchment paper for meal prep storage.
Variations & Substitutions
| Ingredient | Substitute | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| plain nonfat Greek yogurt | nonfat plain Icelandic skyr | Skyr contains even more protein per serving than Greek yogurt while maintaining a creamy texture that works beautifully as a mayo replacement. |
| sliced roasted turkey breast | canned wild-caught salmon (drained and flaked) | Salmon delivers complete protein plus omega-3 fatty acids for inflammation reduction and heart health, making this wrap even more nutrient-dense. |
| low-fat cottage cheese in spread | silken tofu (pressed and crumbled) mixed with Greek yogurt | This creates a vegan-friendly high-protein base that's creamy and mild, perfect for those avoiding dairy while maintaining the 38g protein target. |
| whole wheat tortillas | high-protein tortillas (10-12g protein per tortilla) | Swapping to purpose-built high-protein wraps adds an extra 8-12g of protein without changing the recipe structure. |
| fresh spinach leaves | baby kale, finely chopped or torn | Kale provides more fiber, iron, and polyphenols while maintaining the same fresh vegetable layer texture and adding a peppery note. |
