Instructions:
Prepare the Wrap:

Wrap It Up:

- Slice the wrap in half diagonally if desired.
Serve:
- Enjoy the wrap immediately, or wrap it in foil or parchment paper for an on-the-go lunch or snack.
Tips:
- Add More Veggies: Feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers, red onions, or avocado for extra crunch and nutrition.
- Protein Variations: Substitute turkey with chicken, ham, or even a plant-based protein if preferred.
- Wrap Variations: Experiment with different types of wraps, such as spinach, tomato, or gluten-free, based on your preferences and dietary needs.
