Step-by-Step Guide to Assembling Your Turkey Avocado Club Wraps

Crafting the perfect wrap is all about the assembly technique. Follow our straightforward steps to create a beautifully packed wrap that holds together perfectly from the first bite to the last.

1. Prepare Your Ingredients

Before you begin rolling, it’s wise to have everything prepared and within reach. This simple bit of organisation, known as ‘mise en place’, ensures the whole process is smooth and enjoyable.

1. Cook the Bacon: Whether you prefer to fry, grill, or bake it, cook your bacon rashers until they reach your desired level of crispiness. Transfer them to a plate lined with a paper towel to drain off any excess fat.
2. Prep the Veg: Thoroughly wash and shred your lettuce. Slice your tomatoes and avocado. To help keep the avocado looking fresh and green, you can gently toss the slices in a tiny amount of lemon or lime juice.
3. Make the Spread: In a small mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise (or Greek yoghurt) with the Dijon mustard, if using. Season to your liking with a little salt and pepper.

2. The Art of Assembly

Now for the most enjoyable step! Place a tortilla on a clean, flat surface and prepare to construct your wrap.

1. Spread the Love: Use a spoon or knife to apply about a tablespoon of your mayonnaise mixture evenly across the tortilla, making sure to leave a small border around the outer edge.
2. Layer the Goodness: Arrange your fillings in the centre of the wrap. We find that laying down the cheese first works best, followed by the turkey, two rashers of bacon, a few tomato slices, and a good amount of avocado. Top it all off with a handful of the shredded lettuce.
3. Don’t Overfill: The most common pitfall when making wraps is being a bit too enthusiastic with the fillings. Be generous, but make sure you can still fold it securely!

3. How to Fold a Wrap Perfectly

A loosely folded wrap can result in a messy meal. Here is our tried-and-tested method for a neat and secure wrap every time:

1. Begin by folding the left and right sides of the tortilla inwards, over the fillings.
2. While holding the sides in place, bring the edge of the tortilla nearest to you up and over the filling.
3. Gently tuck this flap underneath the filling to create a tight roll, and then continue to roll the wrap away from you until it’s a compact cylinder.
4. You can slice it in half diagonally for that classic café presentation or keep it whole for easier transport.

Variations for Your Healthy Turkey Club Wrap

One of the greatest attributes of this recipe is its sheer versatility. Use it as a foundation for your own culinary experiments. Drawing inspiration from the classic Bacon turkey sandwich, this wrap can be tailored in numerous ways.

• Go Greek: For a Mediterranean flair, replace the mayonnaise with Greek yoghurt or hummus, and add some thinly sliced red onion and a sprinkle of feta cheese.
• Spice It Up: If you enjoy a bit of heat, mix a few slices of jalapeño or a splash of your preferred hot sauce into the mayonnaise.
• Change the Cheese: While provolone and cheddar are excellent choices, other varieties like Swiss, Monterey Jack, or even a soft brie would be equally delicious.
• Make it a Healthy Turkey Club Wrap: Choose a wholewheat tortilla, use lean nitrate-free turkey and bacon, and pile on extra leafy greens such as spinach or rocket.

What to Serve with Your Wraps

Although these Turkey Avocado Club Wraps are substantial enough to be a meal in themselves, they also go wonderfully with a few simple accompaniments. For a perfectly balanced lunch, we love serving them with a crisp, refreshing side salad. Our Classic House Salad with Red Wine Vinaigrette is a superb partner. If you’re putting together a larger picnic or lunch spread, these wraps look fantastic alongside other light dishes. For another great option, consider our Light and Filling Cucumber Salad Sandwiches.

Other brilliant serving suggestions include:
