Ingredients

  • 1 scallion, thinly sliced
  • 4 oz. crumbled goat cheese
  • 4 oz. plain whole-milk Greek yogurt
  • 3 tsp. extra-virgin olive oil, divided
  • Kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 4 c. loosely packed arugula
  • 1/2 c. coarsely chopped fresh dill
  • 1 tsp. fresh lemon juice
  • 4 store-bought or homemade lavash
  • 1/2 lb. sliced deli turkey, divided
  • 4 roasted red peppers, cut into thin strips, divided (about 1 c.)
  • 4 Persian (or 2 English) cucumbers, cut lengthwise into quarters, divided

Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a medium bowl, combine the scallion, goat cheese, Greek yogurt, and 2 teaspoons of olive oil. Season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste, mixing until smooth and well combined.
  2. Step 2: In a large bowl, gently toss together the arugula, chopped dill, fresh lemon juice, and the remaining 1 teaspoon of olive oil. Set aside.
  3. Step 3: Lay out the lavash flatbreads on a clean work surface. Evenly spread the goat cheese mixture onto each lavash, leaving about a 1-inch border around the edges.
  4. Step 4: Divide the sliced turkey, roasted red pepper strips, cucumber quarters, and the arugula salad evenly among the lavash wraps, placing the fillings in the center.
  5. Step 5: Fold one half of each lavash up and over the fillings like a burrito, then roll tightly to enclose all the ingredients. Tuck in the ends to seal the wrap securely.
  6. Step 6: Cut each wrap in half before serving for easier handling and a nice presentation.

Tips & Variations

  • For extra flavor, try adding a drizzle of balsamic glaze inside the wrap before rolling.
  • Swap the turkey with grilled chicken or roasted veggies for a different protein option.
  • Use spinach or mixed greens if you prefer a milder leaf than arugula.
  • Warm the lavash slightly in a dry skillet to make them more pliable and easier to roll.

Storage

Wrap leftover turkey lavash wraps tightly in plastic wrap or foil and store them in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To enjoy again, eat cold or warm briefly in a skillet or microwave until heated through, though warming may soften the vegetables slightly.

How to Serve

The image shows a wrap cut in half and stacked on a white plate. The wrap has a light brown, soft flatbread exterior with slight toasting marks. Inside the wrap, from bottom to top, there is a creamy white layer that looks like soft cheese, followed by thin layers of light pink deli turkey. Above the turkey, there are small bright red pieces of roasted red bell pepper, then chunks of light green cucumber with smooth skin, and a top layer of fresh dark green leafy vegetables that appear to be a mix of spinach and herbs. In the background, there is a glass of light-colored iced drink with ice cubes. The whole setting is on a white marbled surface. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I make these wraps ahead of time?

Yes, you can assemble the wraps a few hours in advance and store them wrapped in the refrigerator. However, for the freshest texture, add the cucumber and arugula salad just before serving if possible.

What can I use instead of lavash?

If lavash is unavailable, large flour tortillas or flatbreads make excellent substitutes that will hold the fillings well.

Ingredients

Scale

Spread

  • 1 scallion, thinly sliced
  • 4 oz. crumbled goat cheese
  • 4 oz. plain whole-milk Greek yogurt
  • 3 tsp. extra-virgin olive oil, divided
  • Kosher salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Salad

  • 4 cups loosely packed arugula
  • 1/2 cup coarsely chopped fresh dill
  • 1 tsp. fresh lemon juice
  • Remaining 1 tsp. extra-virgin olive oil

Wrap Filling

  • 4 store-bought or homemade lavash breads
  • 1/2 lb. sliced deli turkey, divided
  • 4 roasted red peppers, cut into thin strips (about 1 cup), divided
  • 4 Persian cucumbers or 2 English cucumbers, cut lengthwise into quarters, divided

Instructions

  1. Prepare the goat cheese spread: In a medium bowl, combine the thinly sliced scallion, crumbled goat cheese, plain Greek yogurt, and 2 teaspoons of extra-virgin olive oil. Season this mixture well with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Mix until smooth and creamy, ensuring the flavors meld together for a tangy and rich spread.
  2. Make the arugula salad: In a large bowl, gently toss together the loosely packed arugula, coarsely chopped fresh dill, fresh lemon juice, and the remaining 1 teaspoon of extra-virgin olive oil. Lightly season with salt and pepper if desired. This salad will add a fresh, herbal crunch to the wraps.
  3. Assemble the wraps: Lay out the lavash bread on a clean work surface. Spread the goat cheese mixture evenly over each piece, leaving a 1-inch border all around to prevent overflow when wrapping. Evenly distribute the sliced deli turkey, roasted red pepper strips, cucumber quarters, and a portion of the arugula salad on top of the spread.
  4. Wrap and serve: Carefully pull one half of the lavash up and over the filling in a burrito-style fold. Roll tightly to enclose all ingredients, tucking in the ends to seal the wrap securely. Using a sharp knife, cut each wrap in half diagonally. Serve immediately or wrap tightly for packing.

Notes

  • You can substitute plain Greek yogurt with sour cream or mayonnaise for a different flavor and texture.
  • Lavash can be replaced with large flour tortillas if lavash is unavailable.
  • Try adding other fresh herbs like parsley or basil to the arugula salad for additional flavor.
  • To make this recipe vegetarian, omit the turkey and add grilled vegetables or more roasted red peppers.
  • These wraps are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored wrapped in plastic wrap in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
