A vibrant and flavorful turkey wrap featuring sun-dried tomatoes, green onions, and creamy ranch dressing, perfect for a quick lunch or light dinner for any crowd.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Combine cooked turkey, sliced green onions, and ranch dressing in a medium bowl.
- Place lettuce leaves on one edge of each tortilla or pita pocket.
- Divide the turkey mixture among the tortillas or pita pockets, placing it on the lettuce.
- Roll the tortillas to wrap or line pita pockets with lettuce and add the turkey mixture.
Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider substituting the ranch dressing with a zesty vinaigrette or Greek yogurt mixed with herbs. You can also use leftover roast chicken or even a plant-based protein for a vegetarian option. If you want a bit more crunch, add some diced bell peppers or shredded carrots to the turkey mixture. Serve with a side of fresh fruit for a refreshing contrast.
Serving Suggestions
These wraps are perfect for lunch or a light dinner and pair beautifully with a side salad or a bowl of soup, such as Quick Turkey Chili. For a fun twist, serve them with a selection of dips like hummus or guacamole to make it a more interactive meal.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, you can use a microwave, but for a crispier tortilla, consider toasting the wraps in a skillet for a few minutes on each side until warmed through.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of dressing?
Absolutely! You can swap ranch dressing for any dressing you prefer, such as honey mustard, blue cheese, or a homemade avocado dressing. Each will give a unique flavor to the wraps, so feel free to experiment with your favorites.
How can I make these wraps more filling?
To make the wraps more filling, consider adding grains like quinoa or brown rice into the turkey mixture. You can also include cheese, such as shredded cheddar or feta, for an extra layer of flavor and texture.
Can I make these wraps ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the turkey mixture in advance and store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. However, it's best to assemble the wraps just before serving to keep the tortillas from getting soggy. If you’re making them for a picnic, pack the ingredients separately and assemble on-site.
