School Lunch Box with Turkey & Bacon

This turkey bacon bento is the perfect mix of flavor and texture: pita chips make a deliciously crunchy base for deli turkey and are also great for dipping the creamy hummus with crispy bacon in every bite! 

With basic staples and leftovers, you can assemble this tasty lunch packed with nutrition and goodness. Bacon bits sprinkled over hummus take this lunch to a whole new level!

Add deli turkey (or another protein) and your favorite veggies, and you got a delicious meal that it’s also fun to eat. Soooo good you’ll want to pack one for you too! 

What is in this Turkey Bacon Lunch Box

Simple ingredients that kids love to eat come together in this simple turkey bacon bento box for the ultimate fun and healthy bento lunch that parents will want to try too! This one includes:

  • Deli turkey: you can use ham or any other protein you have on hand.
  • Bacon: cooked and chopped.
  • Hummus: adds nutrition and fun to this lunch!
  • Veggies: I added grape tomatoes and cucumber. Include your favorite ones.
  • Pita chips: perfect for dipping the hummus! You can add whole-grain crackers or another crunchy snack instead.

How to Pack Turkey Bacon Bento for a School Lunch

Pack this turkey bacon bento box following this step-by-step, and it will stay fresh until lunchtime. Here’s how I did it:

  1. Pack the turkey
    Roll up the turkey slices and slice into bite-sized pieces. Place them inside one of the compartments of the bento box, away from dry ingredients, like the pita chips, to prevent them from getting soggy.
  2. Add pita chips separated
    Place the pita chips in a separate compartment in the lunch container.
  3. Pack bacon & hummus
    Fill a small, lidded container with the chopped bacon and the hummus inside another small, lidded container. Put everything inside the lunch box.
  4. Add veggies
    Pack sliced veggies, like cucumbers, in another compartment. 
  5. Refrigerate
    Assemble this turkey bacon bento a day ahead and store it in the refrigerator until ready to send it to school in a lunch bag.

More tips for packing this bento box lunch

Add a treat
Pack a healthy dessert or a sweet snack to make this lunch more satisfying. From homemade fruit leather to a chocolate avocado pudding or these Rainbow Fruit Skewers, real and fresh treats make any lunchbox better!

Add more protein
For bigger appetites, add a hard-boiled egg. It’s a quick, easy way to bulk up bento box lunches and salads. Cook a batch of eggs ahead, store them in the fridge, and they will be ready to be added to any meal.

Swap veggies
Eating veggies as snacking or with a dip is a terrific way to make those little fingers don’t skip the “green side” of the lunchbox. Need ideas? Cherry tomatoes, cucumber, carrots, bell pepper strips, celery sticks, or green beans!

Pack ahead
Compartmentalized lunchboxes are your allies for packing bentos ahead of time. Since we separate wet from dry ingredients, you can pack this lunch the day before and everything will stay crunchy and fresh!
