Notes

Feel free to customize the fillings and sauces based on your preference. Ground chicken or pork also works well. Experiment with different toppings like crushed peanuts, bean sprouts, or fresh herbs for added flavor. Store the cooked turkey separate from the lettuce and toppings to avoid sogginess. Assembled wraps are best enjoyed immediately. These wraps are perfect for meal prep; the turkey filling can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or frozen for longer storage.
