Recipe: Turkey, Spinach, and Strawberry Wraps

by JJ Virgin on January 28, 2017

First of all, bacon. That’s typically enough for me to try any recipe. But add to it savory sliced turkey, the crunch of fresh spinach, and naturally sweet strawberries, and I’m in heaven.

You can make this recipe with any gluten-free, corn-free wrap, including brown rice tortillas or coconut Paleo wraps. It’s a great breakfast or lunch on the go. Just make your wraps at night, package in waxed paper, and refrigerate so they’re ready to grab and go the next morning.

Turkey, Spinach, and Strawberry Wraps join Freshly Juiced Jalapeno Bloody Mary; Individual Baked Breakfast Frittatas; and Chai Waldorf Salad in our Classic Sunday Brunch menu.
