Turkey & Veggie Wrap
When it comes to filling the lunchbox with kid-friendly options that are healthy and offer variety, it’s a matter of repurposing the usual ingredients in a new way.
In this case, we’re taking ordinary sliced turkey and folding it into a tortilla with hummus and fresh veggies. It’s simple, easy to assemble, and customizable with your favorite ingredients.
It’s a 5-minute lunch idea that’s suitable for all ages; if you’re feeding smaller appetites, then half a wrap is plenty, but for large appetites and growing, definitely pack the entire thing with snacks!

Let’s take a look at what you’ll need to make these easy lunch wraps happen:
- Tortilla: large flour tortillas are pliable and hold a lot of ingredients.
- Hummus: a healthier alternative for mayo.
- Deli turkey: or your favorite deli cut.

How to Pack a Spinach Turkey Wrap for Lunch
Now, let’s pack this spinach turkey wrap in the lunchbox!
- Wrap it right
To keep the tortilla from soaking up moisture from the tomatoes, you’ll want to layer the wrap in this order: hummus, spinach, tomato, and turkey. - Pack it up
Place the wrap in a container. Since we want to avoid soggy wraps, add fruit or other sides to a separate compartment or container. - Prepare for take-off
Close the container and pack it into a lunch bag with an ice pack.
