Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups cooked turkey, chopped or shredded (deli sliced or leftover roast)
  • 1 crisp apple (Honeycrisp, Pink Lady, or Granny Smith), cored and diced
  • 2 celery stalks, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup red onion, finely diced (optional for a little bite)
  • 1/3 cup dried cranberries or raisins
  • 1/4 cup chopped nuts (walnuts, pecans, or almonds)
  • 3–4 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt or mayonnaise (or a mix)
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1–2 teaspoons lemon juice (to brighten and keep apples from browning)
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional, for balance)
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 4 large flour tortillas or whole wheat wraps
  • 1–2 cups leafy greens (romaine, spinach, or spring mix)

Method
 

  1. Prep the produce. Dice the apple and celery, and chop the onion if using. Keep the apple pieces small to help the wrap roll neatly.
  2. Mix the dressing. In a bowl, whisk the yogurt or mayo with Dijon, lemon juice, and honey. Season with salt and pepper. You want it creamy but not runny.
  3. Build the salad. Add the turkey, apple, celery, onion, cranberries, and nuts to the bowl. Stir until everything is evenly coated. Taste and adjust seasoning.
  4. Warm the wraps. Briefly heat each tortilla in a dry skillet or microwave for 10–15 seconds. Warm wraps are more flexible and less likely to tear.
  5. Layer the greens. Lay a handful of lettuce or spinach in a line down the middle of each wrap. This adds crunch and helps contain moisture.
  6. Add the filling. Spoon the turkey-apple salad over the greens, leaving space at the edges for folding.
  7. Wrap it up. Fold the sides in, then roll tightly from the bottom up. Slice in half if you like.
  8. Serve or store. Enjoy right away, or wrap tightly in parchment or foil for later. They hold well for a few hours in the fridge.
