Light Turkey Hummus Spinach Wrap

Here’s my go-to turkey hummus spinach wrap recipe that’s perfect for busy weekday lunches. It combines fresh spinach leaves, creamy hummus, and lean turkey in a soft tortilla wrap, making it both filling and nutritious.

I make these wraps at least twice a week for my family’s lunch boxes. They’re so quick to put together, and everyone loves them – even my kids who usually aren’t big on vegetables. Plus, they’re great for meal prep when you need something you can make ahead!

What Kind of Hummus Should I Use?

Classic plain hummus works perfectly in this wrap, but don’t feel limited to just the traditional variety. Store-bought hummus comes in lots of flavors these days – roasted red pepper, garlic, or even spicy varieties can add an extra kick to your wrap. If you’re buying from the store, look for hummus with a smooth, creamy texture and check that it hasn’t separated (though a quick stir can fix that). Making your own is surprisingly easy too – just blend chickpeas with tahini, lemon juice, garlic, and olive oil. Just remember that thicker hummus works better in wraps since it helps hold everything together and won’t make your tortilla soggy.

Options for Substitutions

This wrap recipe is super flexible and easy to customize with what you have on hand:

• Flour tortilla: You can swap the regular flour tortilla with whole wheat, spinach, or even low-carb versions. For a gluten-free option, try corn tortillas or lettuce leaves, though keep in mind lettuce wraps will be less sturdy.
• Hummus: Any hummus flavor works great here – try roasted red pepper, garlic, or even black bean hummus. You could also use mashed avocado, cream cheese, or mayo if you’re out of hummus.
• Turkey: Feel free to use any deli meat like chicken, ham, or roast beef. For vegetarian options, try sliced tempeh or extra hummus with cucumber.
• Spinach: Any leafy green works well – try arugula, mixed greens, or romaine lettuce. The recipe already suggests lettuce as an alternative.
• Strawberries: The strawberries are served as a side, so you can substitute with any fresh fruit you have – apple slices, orange segments, or berries all work great.
• Tomato: If you’re not a fan of fresh tomatoes or don’t have any, try roasted red peppers, cucumber slices, or pickled vegetables for that fresh crunch.

Watch Out for These Mistakes While Making

The biggest challenge when making wraps is overfilling them, which can lead to a messy eating experience and ingredients falling out – stick to the recommended portions and leave about an inch of space around the edges of your tortilla. A common mistake is not warming your tortilla before assembly, but 10-15 seconds in the microwave or a quick pass over a warm skillet will make it more pliable and less likely to crack or tear. To keep your wrap from getting soggy, pat your tomato slices dry with a paper towel before adding them, and spread the hummus in a thin, even layer rather than globbing it in the center. For the perfect wrap, place your ingredients in the lower third of the tortilla and roll tightly from bottom to top, tucking in the sides as you go.

What to Serve With Turkey Hummus Wraps?

These fresh and filling wraps pair really well with a variety of simple sides that can round out your lunch or dinner. Since the wrap already includes some healthy ingredients, I like to keep the sides light and complementary – think crunchy vegetables like baby carrots, cucumber slices, or bell pepper strips with extra hummus for dipping. A handful of your favorite chips or pita chips adds a nice crunch factor that makes the meal more satisfying. For a more substantial meal, a cup of light soup like lentil or vegetable works great, especially during cooler months.

Storage Instructions

Pack: If you’re making this wrap for lunch later, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil. The wrap will stay fresh in the fridge for about 4-6 hours – perfect for packing in your lunch box! To keep it from getting soggy, pat your tomato slices with a paper towel before adding them to the wrap.

Prep Ahead: Want to save time in the morning? Prep your ingredients the night before! Store washed spinach, sliced tomatoes, and turkey separately in airtight containers. When you’re ready to eat, just assemble your wrap – it’ll take less than 5 minutes.

Keep Fresh: If you’ve already assembled your wrap but plans change, it’ll keep in the fridge for about 24 hours. Just know that the tortilla might get a bit soft, and the veggies won’t be as crisp as when freshly made. For best results, enjoy your wrap the same day you make it!

Ingredients

For the wrap:

• 2 tbsp hummus (I use Sabra Roasted Red Pepper Hummus for best flavor)
• 2-3 slices tomato
• 1 large flour tortilla (10-inch is ideal for easy wrapping)
• 2 oz deli turkey slices (look for lower sodium options)
• 1 cup baby spinach

For the side:

• 1 cup fresh strawberries

Step 1: Assemble the Turkey & Hummus Wrap

• 2 tbsp hummus
• 1 large flour tortilla
• 1 cup chopped lettuce or handful of chopped baby spinach
• 2 to 3 slices tomato
• 2 oz deli turkey slices

Lay the large flour tortilla on a clean surface.

Spread the hummus evenly over the tortilla, then layer on the chopped lettuce or spinach, slices of tomato, and deli turkey.

Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it up tightly like a burrito.

Once rolled, cut the wrap in half for easier packing and eating.

I like to press down gently as I roll to keep the wrap tight and the filling secure.

Step 2: Pack the Lunchbox

• wrap halves (from Step 1)
• 1 cup fresh strawberries

Place the wrap halves into one section of a compartmentalized lunch container.

In another compartment, add the fresh strawberries.

Secure the lid on the lunch container to keep everything fresh.

For a more colorful lunch, I like to use strawberries with the greens still attached—they look pretty and stay fresher.

Step 3: Chill and Store the Lunch

Put the packed lunch container into a lunch bag along with an ice pack.

This helps keep both the wrap and fruit cool until lunchtime.
