Quick and healthy Mediterranean Turkey Wrap takes just five minutes to make and is packed with protein. Fresh, easy, and flavorful!
It’s time for another edition of 5 Minute Lunch!
A 5 Minute Lunch is a meal that can be prepared in 5 minutes or less, stashed in a bag or cooler, then eaten standing, sitting, or on the go later that afternoon. It’s gotta be quick, convenient, and taste good, of course!
On the previous edition of the 5 Minute Lunch, we combined sliced deli turkey with crunchy pickles, cool avocado, and creamy hummus in Turkey, Avocado & Hummus Wraps. Today we’re heading in the same general direction, but taking a slightly more coastal route with Mediterranean Turkey Wraps.
A tortilla rolled up with hummus, deli turkey, and kalamata olives, plus fresh tomato, cucumber, and red onion, is not only full of flavor and protein, but ready in — you guessed it — just 5 minutes!
I love the texture contrast between the creamy hummus, crunchy veggies, and everything in between. You will be thinking about this easy lunch recipe from the moment you make it, to the second you take a bite.
Start by slathering a flour-style tortilla with hummus — any flavor you like. Since we’re giving this wrap a Mediterranean spin, I recommend a red pepper, roasted garlic, or olive tapenade flavored hummus.
Next layer on a couple slices of roast deli turkey.
Now that we’ve gotten the protein part of the wrap taken care of with hummus and deli turkey, it’s time to turn to some fresh produce to jazz it up.
Layer on thin slices of cucumber, tomato, and red onion, plus sliced or chopped kalamata olives.
The trick to making sure your wraps are smooth when rolled up and don’t become soggy by lunchtime, is to slice the veggies very thin and, especially with tomatoes, remove any excess seeds/juices.
Next, start at one end and roll it on up!
Slice on the diagonal, stash in a plastic bag or container, then when lunchtime comes around – chow down!
You will totally dig this easy wrap! Make 1 or 2, and even add in some extra goodies like baby spinach or salty feta, if ya’ like. Hope you enjoy!

I always used to get a hummus turkey wrap at a lunch place near my office when I lived in DC. I can’t believe I’ve never made them myself at home – must do it this weekend!
Iowa City’s local falafel joint, Oasis, has the absolute best hummus I’ve ever had. It puts all others to shame. They sell it at Hy-vee–probably not DM, though. Next time you’re in IC you have to buy some!
Ha! Can not believe Ben order it anyway!
This looks so good. I love olives
This looks delicious! I have kind of a love/hate relationship with hummus but it’s mostly love. I hate whole chickpeas though! Makes no sense. :)
I kind of do too! I like them roasted so they get crunchy, but not really on salads and stuff.
Giving up lunch meat during my pregnancies was tough. A few hours after giving birth to my daughter, it was 1:00 am, I was starving because i hadn’t eaten anything for like 14 hours. The nurse brought me a turkey sandwich from the family snack room and I can’t believe how amazing it was. Just white bread and turkey. After waiting 9 months to have lunch meat it was the best thing ever. I’m always looking for new lunch ideas. This looks great!
I love humus. My afterwork snack today was half an english muffin toasted with a piece of swiss cheese, ham and spicy red pepper hummus. I also really like adding hummus to scramble eggs, it makes them so creamy.
Oo that’s a fun idea for eggs – I will have to try that sometime!
Love making wraps to take to work! TJ’s eggplant hummus is to die for….you need to give it a try. Add some avocado to this and you have perfection!
You should heat the deli meat for 30 seconds or so in the microwave if pregnant, whether it comes from the deli counter or a package. That was advice from my doctor anyway. I just haven’t bothered to have it – I’d rather just have grilled chicken or something else than deal with it.
I will definitely make this tonight for dinner! YUM!
I can’t understand not liking hummus, it’s kind of amazing. I love throwing it on sandwiches too or TJ’s whole wheat lavash. Have you tried those yet? SO good!
Yum! I could NOT find anything that sounded good for lunch today. This was just the thing but I just didn’t know it yet.
Sounds and looks delicious! I will have to try that kind of hummus because I usually just get regular.
You’ve totally sold me. I’m going to pick up ingredients for these someday soon. :)
Hummus + Olives are one of my favorite combinations. With the addition of some turkey, these must be fabulous!
