Turkey Avocado Lettuce Wraps

Most keto lunches are boring. These turkey avocado lettuce wraps are the exception: creamy, crunchy, and ready in 10 minutes. Perfect for a low-carb midday refuel.

Serving: 4 | Prep Time: 10 minutes | Cooking Time: 0 minutes

Ingredients

For the Wraps

• 8 large romaine lettuce leaves
• 1 lb sliced deli turkey breast
• 1 large avocado, sliced
• 4 slices cooked bacon, crumbled
• 1/4 cup cherry tomatoes, quartered
• 2 tbsp mayonnaise
• 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
• 1 tsp lemon juice
• Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Rinse and pat dry 8 large romaine lettuce leaves. Choose leaves that are wide and cup-shaped.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tbsp mayonnaise, 1 tbsp Dijon mustard, 1 tsp lemon juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper. This is your dressing.
3. Lay each lettuce leaf flat. Spread about 1/2 tsp of the dressing down the center of each leaf.
4. Top each with 2 oz (about 2 slices) of deli turkey, 1/4 of an avocado sliced, 1 tbsp crumbled bacon, and 1 tbsp cherry tomato quarters.
5. Season with a tiny pinch of salt and pepper.
6. Fold the bottom of the lettuce leaf up over the filling, then fold in the sides and roll tightly. Secure with a toothpick if needed. Serve immediately.
7. Tip: If you prep ahead, store the dressing separately and assemble just before eating to keep the lettuce crisp.
8. Tip: For extra crunch, add thinly sliced cucumber or radish.
9. Tip: Use a ripe but firm avocado so it doesn't mush when rolling.

Great for meal prep, too. The wraps stay fresh for a few hours if you keep the dressing on the side. Each bite is creamy, salty, and bright — a lunch that actually satisfies.

9. Tip: For extra flavor, toast some pine nuts and sprinkle on top. If you prefer a saucier dish, stir in an extra tablespoon of pesto.

Don’t skip patting the zucchini dry — it keeps the dish from getting watery. The pesto adds a herby brightness that complements the savory turkey perfectly. Serve as is or with a side of crusty bread for a heartier meal.
