1 pickle spear, sliced in half
1 leaf of romaine lettuce

How to Make Your Healthy Turkey Wraps
Warm Up: Start by warming up your wraps. If you're using Egglife wraps, pop them in the microwave for about 15 seconds. If you're using a wheat-based wrap, you might want to warm it up on the stove for a bit to make it more pliable.
Spread the Mayo: Take 1 tablespoon of lite mayo and spread it at the center of the wrap. This adds a creamy touch that complements the other ingredients perfectly.
Add the Turkey: Place 2 slices of Smoked Turkey Breast on each wrap. This adds a savory, protein-packed layer to your healthy turkey wraps.
Cheese Time: Place 1/2 slice of lite Cheddar cheese on each wrap.
Pickle and Lettuce: Add 1/2 slice of pickle and a leaf of romaine lettuce to each wrap for added crunch.
Optional Turkey Club Wrap: If you're craving a BLT, layer on some thinly sliced tomato and a slice of turkey bacon (or other bacon) on each wrap.
Fold and Enjoy: Fold your wraps in half, and they’re ready to go. Simple, tasty, and satisfying!
Pro Tip: You can meal prep these wraps by preparing several of them and storing each wrap in an airtight container in the fridge until you're ready to eat.
