Turkey Roll Ups Ingredients
To make these turkey roll ups, you will need avocado, salt, lemon juice, tortillas or wraps, spinach leaves, Swiss cheese, sliced turkey and cooked bacon.
How Do You Make Turkey Roll Ups?
To make this turkey rollup recipe, first cut your avocado in half and remove the pit. Scoop out the flesh and place it in a medium bowl. Add a little salt and lemon juice. Mix everything together until the avocado mixture becomes smooth. Spread the avocado mixture across your tortillas. Layer the turkey slices, spinach, bacon crumbles and Swiss cheese slices on 2/3 of the tortillas. Tightly roll the tortillas starting with the end with the toppings. The part of the tortilla with just the avocado acts as the “glue” to hold the sandwich together. Cut the rolled tortillas into slices and enjoy!
Tips For The Perfect Turkey Roll Ups
- I use either an uncured center cut bacon or turkey bacon for a leaner sandwich.
- If you don’t have any avocados on hand, a thin layer of cream cheese is also delicious.
- Make sure you purchase a ripe avocado that has a little give when you touch it, but is not mushy.
- You can use store bought avocado dip or mild guacamole instead of mashing your own avocado.
- Be sure to roll your sandwiches from the end with the toppings to the end with only the avocado. The part with only the avocado sticks to the tortilla helping to hold your roller sandwiches together.
- If you have trouble holding your sandwiches together, you can pin the slices together with toothpicks. Just remove them before you eat the roll ups!
- These roll ups can be made up to one hour before you plan to serve them. Simply cover the rolls in plastic wrap and refrigerate, then slice when you’re ready to serve.
Quick Tip
Use a sharp knife to cut even slices from your roller sandwiches.

Ingredients
- 2 large tortillas or wraps I used spinach flavored wraps
- 1 avocado medium size
- 1/2 lb thinly sliced smoked turkey
- 1 1/4 cups spinach leaves
- 4 slices Swiss cheese

This was such a great quick and easy recipe, we even used different flavored tortilla wraps, pretty platters. Great for bridal or baby showers,
If I make these rolls in the morning for a shower at 2pm, will the avocado spread get brown by then?
You could try adding some lemon juice to keep it from browning, also cover the rolls tightly with plastic wrap, make sure the plastic wrap touches the cut sides so the avocado will have less contact with the air.
