5-Minute Turkey Wrap with Pesto, Avocado & Brie

This turkey pesto wrap is one of my favorite easy balanced lunches. Savory turkey, creamy brie, fresh avocado, and a touch of pesto make it a flavor bomb meal that comes together in 5 minutes! It’s high in protein, with nourishing fats from the avocado and brie, plus a boost of fiber from baby spinach and tomatoes, making it a nourishing option for lunch or dinner.

As a dietitian, one of the things I’m always telling clients is not to skip lunch! Eating regularly throughout the day is so important for blood sugar balance, energy, and preventing that hanger irritability. haha I love how versatile and meal prep-friendly this wrap is, so you’ve got not more excuses to skip lunch, k? 

Most of the year I’m making this with deli-sliced turkey, but it’s also delicious with leftovers from a turkey dinner! And if turkey isn’t your thing, you can easily swap it for chicken (my thinly sliced chicken breasts are perfect in here! Don’t be afraid to customize it with what you have on hand, this wrap is all about simple ingredients coming together in a way that feels good and tastes even better!

What You’ll Need for this Recipe

Tortilla: A soft tortilla wraps everything up neatly, making this a perfect grab-and-go meal. Opt for whole grain tortillas if you want to add a bit of fiber!

Pesto: Adds a savory, herby flavor that compliments the turkey and brie so well. Pesto is also rich in nourishing fats from olive oil and nuts.If you’re not a big pesto fan just skip it altogether or swap it for something like cranberry sauce, hummus or an olive tapenade!

Baby Spinach: Brings a pop of color, a crisp texture, and a boost of vitamins like A and K, as well as iron.

Tomato: I added these in at the last minute and I’m so glad I did! They add the perfect juiciness and moisture, plus a dose of antioxidants including lycopene. I like using firmer varieties like roma or beefsteak as they’ll hold up a bit better in this wrap.

Brie Cheese: I absolutely love brie cheese and it is the perfect compliment to the flavors in this wrap. It’s rich and creamy texture can’t be beat in my opinion, but any cheese will work in here!

Avocado: Brings creaminess and healthy fats that keep you satisfied, plus a boost of antioxidant vitamin E.

Sliced Turkey: A great source of protein, turkey makes this wrap both filling and nourishing. Leftover turkey or deli slices work equally well.

Salt and Pepper: Optional, but I find they add the perfect touch of flavor.

How to Make this Turkey Wrap

Swaps and Variations

Pesto vs. Cranberry Sauce: For a holiday-inspired wrap, swap the pesto for cranberry sauce. If you go this route, you may want to leave out the tomato or avocado but I don’t mind keeping them in!

Protein Swaps: Deli turkey or leftover turkey are both great options, but you can also switch things up with thinly sliced chicken breasts. For a plant-based twist, try adding smoked tofu or tempeh!

Recipe, Kitchen, & Time Saving Hacks

Use Leftovers: This wrap is perfect for using up leftover turkey from the holidays or any other cooked meat you have to use up!

Customize Your Wrap: Feel free to swap out the greens or cheese based on what you have on hand, arugula and goat cheese make a great pairing!
