PREPARATION
These steps are followed for the preparation of Turkey And Hummus Wrap:
- Warm The Wrap: Gently heat the whole-grain wrap in a dry skillet over low heat for 10 to 15 seconds per side or microwave for 10 seconds to soften. This makes it easier to roll and prevent from cracking.
- Spread The Hummus: Lay the warm wrap flat on a clean surface or plate. Spread 2 tablespoons of hummus across the centre, leaving a border around the edges.
- Add The Vegetables: Layer the spinach leaves evenly over the hummus. Place 2 cucumber slices and a few tomato slices on top of the spinach.
- Layer The Turkey: Arrange 70 grams of sliced turkey breast evenly over the vegetables.
- Season The Filling: Sprinkle the paprika and cumin across the turkey. Add salt and pepper to taste for a flavour boost.
- Roll The Wrap: Fold in the sides of the wrap, then roll it tightly from the bottom up to seal in the filling.
- Slice And Serve: Cut the wrap in half diagonally if desired. Serve immediately or wrap tightly for later.

TIPS
These tips enhance the quality of your Turkey And Hummus Wrap:
- Warm Before Wrapping: Heating the wrap slightly prevents tearing and makes rolling much easier.
- Keep Ingredients Dry: Pat cucumber and tomato slices with a paper towel to avoid sogginess.
- Use Thin Layers: Avoid overfilling to ensure a neat roll that stays together when sliced.
- Secure For Transport: Wrap in foil or parchment paper if packing for lunch or travel.
VARIATIONS
- Go Vegetarian: Replace turkey with grilled tofu, extra hummus or sliced boiled egg.
- Add Healthy Fats: Include sliced avocado or a drizzle of olive oil for a creamy texture.
- Add Crunch: Use shredded carrot, red cabbage or radish for extra bite and colour.
- Use Flavoured Hummus: Try roasted red pepper or garlic hummus for depth.
- Make It Spicy: Add a dash of hot sauce or sprinkle of chilli flakes for heat.
PREPPING AND STORAGE
- Refrigeration: Store prepared wraps in the fridge wrapped tightly in foil or an airtight container for up to 24 hours.
- Meal Preparation Tip: For the best texture, keep tomato slices separate and add just before eating.
- Freezing Is Not Suitable: The texture of fresh vegetables and hummus will degrade when frozen.
- Grab-And-Go: Perfect for packed lunches, picnics or post-workout refuelling, which keep cool until ready to eat.
