Description
Turkey Club Lettuce Wraps are a healthy, low-carb alternative to a classic turkey club sandwich, featuring savory turkey, creamy avocado, and crispy protein wrapped in fresh lettuce leaves.
Ingredients
1 pound turkey breast, sliced
1 large avocado, sliced
1 large tomato, diced
1 cup shredded cheese (optional)
1 head of romaine or butter lettuce
¼ cup mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt for a healthier option)
Salt and pepper, to taste
Optional garnishes: diced onions, cucumbers, or jalapeños
Instructions
- Cook the Protein: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the protein until crispy. Drain on paper towels and set aside.
- Prepare the Lettuce: Wash and dry the lettuce leaves, choosing large, sturdy leaves like romaine or butter lettuce. Pat dry with a paper towel.
- Layer the Ingredients: Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt) on each lettuce leaf. Add sliced turkey breast on top, followed by the crispy protein.
- Add Vegetables: Layer on slices of avocado and diced tomatoes. You can also add diced onions, cucumbers, or jalapeños for extra crunch.
- Sprinkle Cheese (Optional): Sprinkle shredded cheese on top of the veggies if desired.
- Season: Season the wraps with salt and pepper to taste.
- Wrap and Serve: Fold the sides of the lettuce over the filling and roll it up tightly. Secure with a toothpick if necessary. Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator.
Notes
For a spicier kick, add sliced jalapeños or hot sauce.
For a dairy-free option, skip the cheese and use more veggies or avocado for creaminess.
If making ahead, store the assembled wraps in plastic wrap to keep the lettuce fresh.
