How to Prepare Turkey & Avocado Wrap

Step 1: Prepare the Avocado Spread

Mash the ripe avocado in a bowl and mix it with Greek yogurt (or light mayo), garlic powder, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Stir until smooth and creamy.

Step 2: Assemble the Wrap

• If using a lettuce wrap, lay out the large lettuce leaves on a flat surface. If using a low-carb tortilla, place it on a plate.
• Spread the avocado mixture evenly over the base.
• Layer the turkey slices, followed by cucumbers, carrots, and red onions.
• Add mustard or hummus if desired for extra flavor.

Step 3: Roll & Serve

• Carefully roll the wrap tightly. If using lettuce, tuck in the edges while rolling to keep the ingredients secure.
• Slice in half and serve immediately.
