- Tortilla: A 10-inch tortilla is recommended over an 8-inch one as it offers more space for fillings. Feel free to choose from homemade tortillas, whole wheat, or gluten-free varieties according to your preference.
- Cream cheese: Use either regular cream cheese or the lower fat Neufchâtel cheese, both of which are readily available in most grocery stores. Consider using leftover cream cheese in Cheesecake Bars, Crack Chicken, a Hot Spinach Dip, or Oreo Balls.
- Turkey: In these wraps, 2-3 slices of deli turkey are ideal. Alternatively, you can use slices of leftover roasted turkey.
- Vegetables: Include 1/3 cup of loosely packed fresh spinach and 5-6 slices of red bell pepper. Consider using leftover spinach in Stuffed Peppers or Zuppa Toscana. Extra bell peppers can be added to Lo Mein or Chicken Tacos.
Ingredient Substitutions: You can easily replace the spinach with your favorite leafy greens, such as romaine lettuce, kale, or arugula. Swap the bell pepper slices with other vegetables like sliced cucumber, shredded carrots, or avocado. For the protein, feel free to use ham, roast beef, shredded chicken, or cooked salmon instead of turkey. For a vegan twist, substitute cream cheese with hummus, guacamole, or vegan cream cheese.
Recipe Variations
Enhance your spinach turkey wrap with these creative twists:
- Vegetable Wrap: Skip the meat and load up on vegetables. Try adding grilled zucchini, eggplant, or sun-dried tomatoes along with a spoonful of pesto for a hearty, plant-based version.
- Cheese Change-Up: Swap out cream cheese for feta, goat cheese, or shredded mozzarella for a different flavor profile.
- Spicy Turkey Wrap: Introduce some heat by adding sliced jalapeños or a spread of spicy mayo or ranch dressing to give your wrap an extra zing.
- Mediterranean Wrap: Incorporate olives, cucumber, and a spread of tzatziki sauce for a refreshing Mediterranean flavor.
- Sweet and Savory: Add a sweet element like thinly sliced apples or a spread of cranberry jam to contrast the savory turkey and cream cheese.
