Each wrap has several visible layers starting with a soft, beige tortilla holding thinly sliced light pink turkey meat folded neatly, topped with bright, creamy white cheese spread and thick, bright red roasted pepper strips.

Ingredients

  • 1 scallion, thinly sliced
  • 4 oz. crumbled goat cheese
  • 4 oz. plain whole-milk Greek yogurt
  • 3 tsp. extra-virgin olive oil, divided
  • Kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 4 cups loosely packed arugula
  • 1/2 cup coarsely chopped fresh dill
  • 1 tsp. fresh lemon juice
  • 4 store-bought or homemade lavash
  • 1/2 lb. sliced deli turkey, divided
  • 4 roasted red peppers, cut into thin strips (about 1 cup), divided
  • 4 Persian cucumbers (or 2 English cucumbers), cut lengthwise into quarters, divided

Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a medium bowl, combine the scallion, goat cheese, Greek yogurt, and 2 teaspoons of olive oil. Season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste, then mix until smooth and well combined.
  2. Step 2: In a large bowl, gently toss the arugula, chopped dill, fresh lemon juice, and the remaining 1 teaspoon of olive oil until the greens are evenly coated. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper if desired.
  3. Step 3: Lay out each lavash flat on your work surface. Spread an even layer of the goat cheese mixture over the lavash, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
  4. Step 4: Divide the sliced turkey, roasted red pepper strips, cucumber quarters, and arugula salad evenly among the lavash wraps, placing the fillings in a line across the center.
  5. Step 5: Fold one half of the lavash up and over the filling like a burrito, then roll tightly to enclose everything. Tuck in the ends to seal the wrap securely.
  6. Step 6: Cut each wrap in half before serving for easier handling and a beautiful presentation.

Tips & Variations

  • For added crunch, try adding sliced almonds or toasted walnuts to the filling.
  • Swap the goat cheese for feta or cream cheese if preferred.
  • Use spinach or mixed greens instead of arugula for a milder flavor.
  • To make it vegetarian, replace turkey with grilled or roasted vegetables like zucchini or eggplant.

Storage

Wrap leftovers tightly in plastic wrap or store in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 2 days. To serve, you can eat cold or warm slightly in a skillet or microwave, but consuming fresh is best for texture and flavor.

How to Serve

Inside, there are four visible layers: the bottom layer has thin slices of light beige turkey meat folded neatly; above it, a creamy white layer of soft cheese is spread; next comes a layer of bright red roasted red pepper pieces; and the top layer is full of fresh green leafy vegetables mixed with chunks of light green cucumber. Small bits of cheese and green herbs are scattered around the plate. A clear glass with ice and a light-colored drink is in the background. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I make these wraps ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the wraps a few hours in advance and refrigerate them. However, for best texture, assemble no more than a day ahead to prevent the lavash from becoming soggy.

What can I substitute for lavash bread?

If you don’t have lavash, large flour tortillas or flatbreads work well as alternatives and hold the fillings equally nicely.
