California Turkey Club Wraps are the answer to busy days when you crave something fresh and satisfying but want it on the table in minutes. With creamy avocado, crisp bacon, and lean turkey layered into soft tortillas, these wraps hit that perfect balance of comfort and brightness. They make a fulfilling lunch that feels special without much effort and are ideal for picnics, meal prep, or a quick dinner when you want every bite to be full of flavor.

These wraps are a go to for me when I have leftover Sunday roast turkey or need a fast lunch before soccer practice. My kids always ask for them in their lunchboxes and they have become a regular in our meal prep lineup.

Ingredients

  • Roasted turkey breast slices: look for deli fresh turkey with minimal additives this makes the wraps juicy and full of protein
  • Crisp bacon: opt for thick cut if you like extra crunch make sure to drain it well after cooking to keep the wraps from getting soggy
  • Ripe avocado: go for one that yields slightly to gentle pressure for perfect creamy slices
  • Mayonnaise: choose your favorite regular light or flavored for a hint of extra zing
  • Mixed greens: fresh spring mix or baby spinach adds color crunch and nutrition avoid greens that are wilting or yellowed
  • Large flour tortillas or flavored wraps: pick a fresh pack and feel the tortillas to ensure they are soft whole wheat or tomato basil varieties also work beautifully

Step by Step Instructions

Warm the Tortillas:
Gently heat each tortilla for about 10 to 15 seconds in the microwave or on a dry skillet until just flexible this prevents tearing and helps with rolling
Spread the Mayo:
Use the back of a spoon or a small spatula to coat each tortilla evenly with mayonnaise going right to the edges so every bite is moist
Layer the Fillings:
Lay two slices of turkey in the center of each tortilla Break one bacon slice in half and arrange over the turkey Nestle a few avocado slices on top then add a generous handful of greens for color and crunch
Roll the Wraps:
Fold the sides of the tortilla inward to hold the filling then roll up tightly from the bottom keep the wrap compact by tucking and rolling as you go
Slice and Serve:
Cut each wrap in half at a diagonal with a sharp knife to show off the beautiful layers serve right away for best texture or wrap in parchment to enjoy later

Avocado is always my favorite part I love the creamy richness and often add a little squeeze of lime right over the slices to keep them looking fresh The first time I packed these on a family beach day they were completely gone before we even unpacked the towels
