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, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 4 cups loosely packed arugula
  • 1/2 cup 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 (about 1 cup), divided
  • 4 Persian cucumbers (or 2 English cucumbers), cut lengthwise into quarters, divided

Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a medium bowl, combine the scallion, crumbled goat cheese, Greek yogurt, and 2 teaspoons of olive oil. Season the mixture with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste, then stir until smooth.
  2. Step 2: In a large bowl, gently toss together the arugula, chopped dill, lemon juice, and the remaining 1 teaspoon of olive oil until evenly combined.
  3. Step 3: Lay the lavash flat on a clean work surface. Spread the goat cheese mixture evenly over each piece of lavash, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
  4. Step 4: Divide the sliced turkey, roasted red pepper strips, cucumber quarters, and arugula salad evenly among the lavash wraps.
  5. Step 5: Fold one half of the lavash up and over the filling like a burrito, then roll tightly to enclose the ingredients. Tuck in the ends to seal each wrap.
  6. Step 6: Cut each wrap in half and serve immediately.

Tips & Variations

  • For extra crunch, add thinly sliced radishes or shredded carrots to the wraps.
  • Use smoked turkey or roast chicken as an alternative to deli turkey for a different flavor profile.
  • If you like a little heat, add a smear of harissa or a dash of hot sauce to the goat cheese spread.
  • To make this wrap vegetarian, replace the turkey with grilled vegetables or halloumi cheese.

Storage

Wraps are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored tightly wrapped in plastic wrap or airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. To keep them from getting soggy, store the filling ingredients separately and assemble just before eating. If reheating, warm the turkey filling lightly and reassemble the wrap fresh.

How to Serve

The image shows two wrap halves stacked on a white plate over a white marbled surface. The wrap has a soft, lightly toasted outer layer. The first layer inside is thinly sliced light beige deli turkey, folded easily. Above the turkey is a white creamy spread, likely cottage cheese, with a soft, crumbly texture. Next is a colorful layer of small red pepper pieces adding a bright contrast. Above the peppers are thick slices of fresh green cucumber with a firm, moist texture. At the top is a large layer of leafy dark green spinach mixed with herbs, adding volume and freshness. In the background, there is a clear glass of iced water with visible ice cubes.

FAQs

Can I make these wraps ahead of time?

You can prepare the fillings a day in advance and store them separately in the fridge. Assemble the wraps just before serving to prevent the lavash from becoming soggy.

Can I use other types of bread instead of lavash?

Yes, you can substitute lavash with large tortillas, flatbreads, or even pita pockets, depending on your preference and availability.

  • The goat cheese and yogurt mixture can be made a few hours ahead and refrigerated to enhance flavor melding.
  • For a spicier kick, add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes to the cheese spread.
