This wrap brings together lean, well-seasoned ground turkey with fresh Mediterranean flavours and a creamy, sweet-spicy feta sauce. It’s balanced, protein-rich, and perfect for lunch, dinner, or meal prep when you want something bold but still nutritious.

Ingredients

For the Turkey Filling:

• 500g ground turkey
• 2 tablespoons olive oil 🫒
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• ½ teaspoon cumin
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• ½ small onion, finely chopped
• Juice of ½ lemon

For the Creamy Hot Honey Feta Sauce:

• ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
• 3 tablespoons Greek yogurt
• 1–2 tablespoons hot honey (or honey + chili flakes)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• 1 small garlic clove (optional)

For the Wraps:

• 4 large tortillas or flatbreads
• 1 cup shredded lettuce
• ½ cup diced cucumber
• ½ cup cherry tomatoes, halved
• Optional: sliced red onion, olives, or pickled vegetables

Instructions

1. Cook the Turkey Filling

Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté for 2–3 minutes until soft. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Add ground turkey, breaking it apart with a spoon. Cook for 6–8 minutes until browned and fully cooked.

Season with paprika, oregano, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Stir well and add lemon juice. Cook for another 1–2 minutes, then remove from heat.

2. Make the Creamy Hot Honey Feta Sauce

In a bowl, combine feta cheese, Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, and (optional) garlic. Mash and whisk until creamy but slightly textured.

Drizzle in hot honey and mix gently. Adjust spice level depending on preference.

3. Assemble the Wraps

Warm tortillas slightly for flexibility. Spread a generous layer of creamy hot honey feta sauce on each wrap.

Add turkey filling, then top with lettuce, cucumber, tomatoes, and any optional vegetables.

4. Wrap and Serve

Fold in the sides and roll tightly. Slice in half and serve immediately.

Description

This Mediterranean Ground Turkey Wrap is a perfect balance of savory, creamy, and slightly sweet heat. The turkey is lightly spiced and juicy, while the feta sauce adds richness with a tangy kick.
