Ingredients for California Turkey Club Wraps
To make these flavorful wraps, you’ll need the following ingredients:
- 4 spinach tortillas (or your favorite wraps)
- 8 slices of deli turkey lunch meat (thinly sliced)
- 4 slices of cooked beef bacon (crispy)
- 1 avocado (sliced or mashed)
- 1 cup shredded lettuce (or use spinach for extra greens)
- 1 tomato (sliced thin)
- ¼ cup mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt for a lighter option)

- Salt and pepper to taste
Optional:
- Shredded cheese (cheddar or Monterey Jack work well)
- A drizzle of ranch dressing for extra creaminess
How to Make California Turkey Club Wraps
These wraps come together in just a few simple steps. Let me walk you through it!
1. Prepare the Ingredients
Cook the beef bacon until crispy (about 5 minutes) and set it aside to cool. While the bacon cooks, slice the avocado, tomato, and shred the lettuce. If you’re using cheese, have it ready.
2. Assemble the Wraps
Lay a spinach tortilla flat on your work surface. Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt) across the center of the tortilla. If you like an extra kick, add a little Dijon mustard.
3. Layer the Fillings
Start by placing 2 slices of turkey lunch meat on the tortilla. Add a slice of crispy beef bacon, a few slices of avocado, shredded lettuce, and a tomato slice. If you’re adding cheese, sprinkle it on top.
4. Roll It Up
Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then tightly roll it up from the bottom to create a burrito-style wrap. If needed, secure it with a toothpick or wrap it in parchment paper to keep everything in place.
5. Slice and Serve
Cut the wrap in half diagonally for easy eating. Serve immediately or store in the fridge for later.
How to Serve Your California Turkey Club Wraps
These wraps are incredibly versatile and pair beautifully with a variety of sides. Here are a few serving ideas to round out your meal:
- Pair with a bowl of soup for a comforting soup-and-salad combo. Tomato basil or chicken noodle soup would be perfect.
- Serve alongside a crisp green salad or a fruit salad for a healthy, balanced lunch.
- Add a handful of baked chips or veggie sticks for a satisfying crunch.
If you’re hosting friends or family, cut the wraps into smaller pinwheel slices for an easy appetizer or party snack.
Storing and Enjoying Leftovers
If you have leftovers, wrap them tightly in plastic wrap or store them in an airtight container. These wraps will stay fresh in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Avoid freezing, as the fresh veggies and avocado don’t hold up well.
To reheat, skip the microwave (it will make the tortilla soggy). Instead, enjoy them cold or let them come to room temperature for about 15 minutes before eating. If you’ve skipped the avocado, you can warm the wrap in a skillet for a crispier texture.
Top Tips for Customizing Your California Turkey Club Wraps
- Swap the protein: Use grilled chicken, beef or even roasted veggies if you’re looking for a meat-free option.
- Add extra crunch: Try adding sliced cucumbers, shredded carrots, or thinly sliced red onion for added texture and flavor.
- Make it spicy: Add a drizzle of sriracha or a few slices of jalapeño for a little heat.
- Go low-carb: Swap the spinach tortilla for a large lettuce leaf to create a low-carb, keto-friendly version.
Your Questions About California Turkey Club Wraps Answered
Can I make these wraps ahead of time?
Yes! These wraps are great for meal prep. Assemble them up to a day in advance, but wait to add the avocado until just before serving to keep it fresh.
Are spinach tortillas healthy?
Spinach tortillas can be a great option for adding extra greens to your meal. They’re usually lower in calories and higher in fiber compared to regular flour tortillas.
Can I use a different type of tortilla?
Absolutely! Whole wheat, tomato-basil, or gluten-free tortillas all work well. Choose what fits your diet and preferences.
What’s the best way to keep wraps from getting soggy?
To avoid sogginess, layer a dry ingredient like lettuce or turkey on the tortilla before adding wetter ingredients like tomato or avocado.
