How to Make High-Protein Turkey and Hummus Wrap

1. In a large bowl, combine the sliced turkey breast, hummus, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until the turkey is coated with the hummus mixture. Set aside for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavours to meld.
2. Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced red bell pepper, cucumber, and tomato. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and lightly browned.
3. Add the sliced turkey breast to the pan and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes, or until cooked through.
4. Warm the whole wheat wraps according to the package instructions or by wrapping them in a damp cloth and microwaving for 20-30 seconds.
5. Assemble the wraps by spreading a tablespoon of hummus on each wrap, followed by a few slices of the turkey breast and some of the sautéed vegetables. Top with parsley and feta cheese (if using). Roll up the wraps tightly and slice in half.
6. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Tips From My Kitchen

• Use leftover turkey: This recipe is perfect for using up leftover roasted turkey breast. Simply shred or chop the turkey and add it to the hummus mixture.
• Customise the vegetables: Feel free to add or substitute your favourite vegetables, such as spinach, carrots, or zucchini.
• Make it a meal prep: Prepare the turkey and vegetable mixture in advance and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• Use a panini press: If you have a panini press, use it to grill the wraps for a crispy and toasted texture.
• Freeze the leftovers: Wrap the assembled wraps tightly in plastic wrap or aluminium foil and freeze for up to 2 months. Simply thaw and reheat when needed.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Overcrowding the pan: Be sure to cook the turkey and vegetables in batches if necessary, to prevent overcrowding the pan. This will help prevent the ingredients from steaming instead of browning.
• Wrong temperature: Make sure to cook the turkey to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) to ensure food safety.
• Skipping the rest time: Allow the turkey to rest for at least 10 minutes before assembling the wraps. This will help the juices to redistribute and the flavours to meld.

Delicious Variations to Try

• Spicy Version: Add some heat to the recipe by incorporating diced jalapeños or red pepper flakes into the hummus mixture.
• Vegetarian/Vegan Option: Replace the turkey breast with roasted vegetables, such as eggplant or portobello mushrooms, and use a vegan-friendly hummus.
• Different Protein: Try using chicken breast, beef strips, or tofu as a substitute for the turkey breast.

What to Serve With High-Protein Turkey and Hummus Wrap

• A side salad with mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, and a citrus vinaigrette
• Roasted sweet potato fries or regular fries
• A bowl of fresh fruit, such as berries or sliced apples
