Ham and Turkey Wraps Recipe (Cordon Bleu–Inspired)

A few simple swaps keep this turkey wrap recipe light, making it a great fit for a healthy eating plan. Light mayo and low-carb tortillas help keep the calories down without sacrificing flavor.

Each turkey breast wrap is cooked panini-style and served warm and melty. Add a small side salad and your lunch is ready in about 20 minutes!

Ingredients for the grilled ham and turkey wraps

To make these healthy turkey wraps, you’ll need the following ingredients:

• 2 tablespoons of light mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons of Dijon mustard
• Dash of Kosher salt and cracked black pepper
• 4 low-carb tortilla shells (8 inches each)
• 4 small wedges of low-fat mozzarella cheese¾
• 8 ounces of smoked turkey breast slices
• 8 ounces of Black Forest ham slices
• 1 cup of baby spinach leaves

You’ll also need a panini press or griddle.

How to make the turkey wraps recipe

Step 1. Place the light mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Mix well and set the bowl aside.

Step 2. Place the low-carb tortilla shells in the microwave and heat them for about 10 seconds until they are soft and pliable. This will make them easier to wrap.

Step 3. Lay out each tortilla and spread one wedge of the low-fat mozzarella cheese evenly over the top of it, leaving about an inch free around the edges.

Step 4. Place 2 slices of the smoked turkey breast on each tortilla, followed by 2 slices of Black Forest ham. Try to leave the fillings with a border around the edges. This will help to make the filled tortilla wrap easier to fold.

Step 5. Spread ½ teaspoon of the mayonnaise mixture, two more slices of the turkey breast, and another ½ teaspoon of the mayo mixture on the tortilla shell. Place a few baby spinach leaves on top.

Step 6. Repeat these steps for the remaining 3 tortilla wraps.

How to seal a tortilla wrap

Spray a warmed panini pan with cooking spray.

Fold the bottom edges up over the fillings, then fold in the sides. Seal with a little of the creamy mozzarella cheese.

Roll the wrap away from you, keeping it snug so the fillings stay inside the wrap.

Step 7. Place each tortilla with the seam side down on the hot panini press, place the cover on top, and cook until the wrap has grill marks on the tortilla – about 1 minute.

The heat of the pan will help to seal the tortilla and prevent it from opening while cooking. 

Step 8. Shift the tortilla 45 degrees and cook for another minute to give the wrap a criss-cross effect.

The ham and turkey wraps look so fancy with the grill marks after they are cooked. It will make you feel as though you are eating in a trendy sidewalk bistro—not in your own kitchen after just a few minutes of cooking time!

Turn the tortilla and cook the other side until the wrap is warm and the cheese has melted. Remove the wrap and slice each wrap in half to serve.

Add some fresh vegetables or fruit to complete the lunch menu

Tasting the hot turkey wrap

When cooked, these ham and turkey wraps are warm, melty, and full of layered flavor. The smoky Black Forest ham and savory turkey breast pair perfectly with the creamy mozzarella and tangy Dijon mustard.

The spinach adds a fresh, slightly crisp bite, and the tortillas toast to a lightly golden, crispy exterior. Every bite delivers a balanced mix of savory, tangy, and cheesy goodness, making these wraps comforting yet fresh — perfect for a quick lunch or light dinner.

I love to serve the wraps with a salad of fresh vegetables to complete the meal.
