Turkey Lettuce Wraps with Hummus

Ingredients

• Sliced turkey breast 5 oz
• Large romaine lettuce leaves 3 leaves
• Hummus 2 tbsp
• Shredded carrots 1/4 cup

Method

1. Prepare the lettuce leaves. Rinse the romaine lettuce leaves under cold water to remove any dirt. Gently pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Make sure the leaves are dry so the wraps don’t get soggy.
   Tip: Use a salad spinner if you have one to dry the leaves quickly and thoroughly.
2. Lay out the lettuce leaves. Place the three large romaine leaves flat on a clean cutting board or plate. These will serve as the wrap base.
   Tip: Arrange them so they slightly overlap to make wrapping easier.
3. Add the hummus. Spread about 2 tablespoons of hummus evenly over the center of each lettuce leaf. This adds flavor and helps hold the fillings together.
   Tip: Use the back of a spoon to spread the hummus thinly and evenly.
4. Layer the turkey slices. Place the sliced turkey breast evenly on top of the hummus layer on each leaf. Try to distribute the turkey so each wrap has a good amount.
   Tip: If the turkey slices are large, you can fold or cut them to fit better inside the wrap.
5. Add shredded carrots. Sprinkle about 1/4 cup of shredded carrots over the turkey on each leaf. The carrots add a nice crunch and sweetness.
   Tip: You can also add other veggies like thin cucumber slices or bell peppers if you like.
6. Wrap and serve. Carefully fold the sides of each lettuce leaf over the filling and roll it up tightly to form a wrap. Secure with a toothpick if needed. Serve immediately for the freshest taste.
   Tip: Eat with your hands or cut in half for easier handling.

Pro tips

• For extra flavor, add a squeeze of lemon juice or a sprinkle of your favorite herbs like parsley or dill inside the wrap.
• If you want to prepare ahead, keep the fillings and lettuce separate and assemble just before eating to prevent sogginess.
