Ingredients for Turkey Bacon Ranch Wraps

- Flour tortilla: Any size works, but I really like to use larger ones for a full meal!
- Ranch: Storebought or homemade works great!
- Leaf lettuce: It also works great with romaine, spinach or even arugula!
- Deli turkey: Smoked, bbq, or honey-roasted are all flavors you can use when making turkey wraps.

How to Make a Turkey Bacon Wrap
One of the great things about this recipe is that it is super easy to make a big batch for a gathering or picnic. Once you have all your ingredients ready, it’s time to wrap!
- Spread the ranch dressing over the tortilla. If you’re not a ranch fan, use mayo or even a flavored aioli.
- Layer lettuce, turkey, bacon, tomato, and avocado.
- Tuck the ends under, and tightly roll the wrap together. Continue applying pressure to all sides as you roll.
Pro Tip: When rolling your wrap, try and keep the edges clear since those areas will be folded and tucked under. It is also helpful to remember to keep things slightly off to one side so that you can keep everything tight together as you roll. It is tempting to place the fillings in the center of the wrap, but it will be harder seal everything in and keep those ends tucked in.
Variations
Another thing I love about this ranch wrap recipe is that it is so easy to customize your wrap! I love the classic combination of bacon, lettuce and tomato but you can easily omit a certain ingredient and make it your own.
- Change up the deli meat: Try using various flavors of turkey, like spicy buffalo, leftover Thanksgiving or honey roasted. You can even ditch the turkey and use chicken or roast beef instead!
- Use different flavored wraps: One of the easiest ways to quickly change the flavor. Try spinach, sundried tomato, or jalapeno and cheddar!
- Swap the ranch: My favorite way to add variety to this meal is to switch up the condiments. I love classic ranch, but changing things up with mayo and mustard is nice every once in a while.
- Use turkey bacon: Instead of pork, make a batch of air fryer turkey bacon and use it for a healthier option on these wraps!
- Add cheese: You can add your favorite cheese slices to your turkey club wrap.

FAQs
Turkey wraps are excellent for meal prep or to make in advance. As with any sandwich, make sure your ingredients are very dry if you are planning to make this ahead of time. It is also best to omit the ranch and serve it on the side so the wrap doesn’t get soggy. I personally prefer to prep everything ahead of time, but store it separately until I am ready to eat. Then I assemble the wrap and eat it fresh.
If the produce is dry and you leave out the ranch, a turkey wrap should last in the fridge for 2-3 days.
It's all about wrapping it tightly. Place the ingredients on one side and keep the edges clear so that everything ends up in the center when you roll it. Also, roll tightly and then be sure to secure it with toothpicks, foil or parchment paper and string.
