Eating lean and green has never been easier. Previously, if you were avoiding bread, your only hope for a sandwich-like fix was to use lettuce or pickles. Today, there are quite a few low carb tortillas options in stores.
Over the years we have found several ways to enjoy those low carb wraps. These chicken enchiladas, low carb shrimp tacos, and buffalo chicken wraps are a few of our favorite meals.

Main Ingredients
It's easy to make this low carb turkey wrap recipe using a few healthy ingredients.
- Low Carb Tortillas - For this recipe, we used Mission Carb Balance whole wheat tortillas. Each one only has 60 calories and 3g net carbs.
- Deli Turkey - Boar's Head turkey is our favorite because there are no preservatives or additives.
- Sliced Cheese - Thin-sliced Monterey Jack tastes great on this wrap. Feel free to use your favorite.
- Bacon - Use precooked sliced bacon to save some time in the kitchen.
- Baby Spinach - We use spinach instead of lettuce or romaine to get extra nutrients.
- Roma Tomatoes - There is nothing like a fresh and juicy tomato in any sandwich.
- Avocado - Adds a creamy taste and texture as well as giving you a great healthy fat.
- Lite Ranch - Optional, but it has a little more flavor and creaminess.
How to Make a Turkey Club Wrap
These California turkey wraps can be made in just a few easy steps. Set everything out on the table and start rolling.
- Spread the ranch dressing over the tortilla within ½ inch to the edge.
- Place a handful of baby spinach leaves covering the ranch.
- Add the sliced turkey and cheese to the bottom half of the wrap. Top with the bacon, tomato, and avocado slices.
- Tightly roll the tortilla from the bottom to the top. If any ingredients try to escape, simply push them back into the roll. Cut in half and enjoy!
Storage Recommendations
Tightly wrap any of the leftovers in plastic wrap and place them in the refrigerator. These are good for about three days.
Bonus Tip: If you want them to last a little longer in the refrigerator skip the tomato and avocado. These will cause the wrap to get soggy as they sit in the fridge. Add them to the wrap when you are ready to eat it.
Make it a Meal
- Use a different dressing such as light mayo or avocado lime dressing.
- Serve with a side of dill yogurt cucumber salad.
- As a side dish to this easy Asian salad.
- Add a cup of orange protein jello for dessert.
Simple Tips
- Use a different meat. Replace the deli turkey with fresh turkey or your preferred lunch meat.
- Try other cheese. Some great options are Swiss, cheddar, gouda, and provolone.
- Add extra veggies. A few that are good are pickles, cucumbers, bean sprouts, and carrots.
- Look for extra sugar. If you are following a low carb eating plan, make sure you check all your ingredients for any hidden sugars.
- Serve as appetizers. Cut each wrap into small pinwheels and hold them together with a toothpick.
FAQs
Most turkey wraps use tortillas that are full of carbs. These turkey wraps use low carb wraps. You could also wrap them in lettuce to keep the carb count even lower.
If you are eating the turkey wraps over the next couple of days, leave the tomato off of them. Place the tomatoes on them when you are ready to eat them. This will keep them from getting soggy.
