Ingredients
- 4 (10-inch) large whole-grain tortillas
- 8 ounces (225g) thinly sliced deli turkey breast
- 4 ounces (115g) sharp cheddar cheese, thinly sliced or shredded
- 2 cups (50g) fresh mixed greens
- 0.5 cup (120g) cranberry sauce
- 4 tablespoons (60g) mayonnaise or light cream cheese
- 1 teaspoon (5g) Dijon mustard (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Prepare Work Surface: Lay one large whole-grain tortilla flat on a clean, dry surface.
- Spread Base: Evenly apply about 1 tablespoon (15g) of mayonnaise or light cream cheese over the tortilla, leaving a small 0.5-inch (1 cm) border around the edges. If using, add a thin smear of Dijon mustard now.
- Layer Cheese: Arrange 1 ounce (28g) of sharp cheddar cheese slices or a handful of shredded cheddar evenly across the creamy base.
- Add Turkey: Layer 2 ounces (55g) of thinly sliced deli turkey breast over the cheese. Position the turkey to cover about two-thirds of the tortilla, leaving the top edge clear for easier folding.
- Pile Greens: Place a generous handful (approximately 0.5 cup) of fresh mixed greens over the turkey.
- Stripe With Cranberry and Season: Carefully spoon about 2 tablespoons (30g) of cranberry sauce in a distinct “stripe” down the center of the greens. Sprinkle lightly with black pepper and garlic powder. If your tortilla seems stiff and might crack when rolling, briefly warm it in a dry 10-inch skillet for 15-20 seconds per side before assembling to make it more pliable.
- Roll Tight: Fold the side of the tortilla closest to the turkey over the fillings, then tuck in the ends gently, and roll tightly into a neat log.
- Slice And Serve: Slice the finished Cranberry-Striped Greens and Cheddar Fold turkey wrap in half diagonally. Serve immediately or pack for on-the-go.
Notes
For a lighter or low-carb option, use large lettuce leaves instead of tortillas. Hummus can be used as a dairy-free or extra-savory alternative to mayonnaise/cream cheese. To prevent cracking, warm tortillas briefly in a dry skillet for 15-20 seconds per side before assembling. Getting kids involved by having them sprinkle shredded cheese can make mealtime fun and promote healthy eating.
