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.

  1. My favorite holiday recipe is my son’s baked macaroni & cheese dish. I still haven’t been able to duplicate his recipe since he adds a special ingredient but I believe he uses smoked cheddar cheese which adds a unique flavor.

  2. 5 stars
    I have a new recipe that I have been making for a couple of months now. I found a recipe for roasted cauliflower and my kids love it. I made that recipe to take to a Thanksgiving get-together and I had a lot of people asking for the recipe. I am making it today for another Christmas luncheon.

  3. One of my favorites is our egg, hashbrown, sausage casserole which is already to go after the presents are open! ๐Ÿ™‚

  4. My favorite holiday recipe is for cranberry relish. I like the flavor combination of cranberries and mandarin oranges. The fact that we don’t usually have cranberries the rest of the year makes the it seem more special.

  5. i love to make smoked brisket during the holidays and am always looking for healthier ideas such as the Turkey wraps you posted about! i am very excited to try them out this weekend when the kiddos are out of school!

  6. Crab dip that I make with Parmesan cheese, mayo, onions , artichoke hearts and crab. Yummy but I only make it for the Holidays!
