Turkey, Pesto and Sun-Dried Tomato Wrap
Packing lunches to take to work takes a lot of planning! When I’m getting ready in the morning before my hour-long commute, the last thing that I want to think about is “what should I fix and pack for lunch?”
Total chaos and frustration for me to think about one more thing in the morning!
And I am NOT a morning person!
Wraps are so easy to make with so many ingredient options and even easier to grab and go when made the night before. This Turkey, Pesto and Sun-Dried Tomato Wrap is one of my favorites. Here’s a link on making home-made basil pesto.
So pretty to look at. Lots of layers of flavor. And EASY!
I like to slice wraps on the diagonal to show more of the colorful ingredients in the layers.
I’ve made this Turkey, Pesto and Sun-Dried Tomato Wrap and I hope you enjoy it! As always, change out the ingredients to make something that you prefer more: chicken, refried beans, black beans, avocados, different varieties of cheeses, lettuce, etc.
Turkey, Pesto and Sun-Dried Tomato Wraps
Ingredients
- Tortillas, I use 'multi-grain' or wheat
- Cream cheese, softened, about 5 Tbsp per wrap
- Basil pesto, homemade or store-bought, about 2 Tbsp. per wrap
- Lettuce leaves, any variety
- sliced smoked turkey - 10 slices per wrap
- sun-dried tomatoes from a bag and not from a jar, about 2 Tbsp.
- salt and pepper
- garnish: chopped tomatoes
Instructions
- Instructions
- Spread cream cheese on tortillas.
- Spread basil pesto on top of cream cheese.
- Lay several whole lettuce leaves on top next.
- Layer on turkey slices on top of the lettuce.
- Place sun-dried tomatoes on one end of the tortillas (which when rolled up will be in the center of wraps).
- Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.
- Roll up each tortilla starting from the side where the sun-dried tomatoes were placed.
- Garnish with freshly diced tomatoes.

Wow, does that ever look tasty. I am a morning person, so I am pretty frisky when getting ready for my day. It’s later on that I fade. This seems like the perfect thing for me to make for lunch. I bet it would prevent my afternoon coma! Thanks!
I’d love to be a morning person Adri, but raised in a family with an Italian dinner (only) ristorante, and simply adjusted to late nights until 2 AM!

I’m not a morning person, too and I wouldn’t be able to prepare anything when I wake up early in the morning. Only the breakfast in the weekend… but in that case I don’t wake up so early… 🙂
I think your idea is a perfect street or office food.
Have a nice week!!
Grazie mille Ilaria! You are so kind! I would love to eat like Italians in the morning — a simple espresso with delicious sweet pastry! So much lighter!
Baci,
Roz

These look so good, Roz! I love every ingredient in them. I would never have thought of putting pesto and sun-dried tomatoes together, but it sounds wonderful. Do you mind if I ask, where in the grocery store you find sun-dried tomatoes in a bag? I have only seen them in jars packed in oil. Thank you for the great recipe. I hope to make them soon!
HI Shari, Thanks for your compliment! I found the dry sun-dried tomatoes in a bag similar to what raisins and drired cranberries come in. I think I picked these up at WalMart in the produce section. But I like using dry sun-dried tomatoes because they give a nice chewy bite to things and aren’t so ‘slimey’. I hope that you can find them! Let me know.

I’m a morning person, but lunches always drove me crazy when I worked. Your turkey wraps are perfect and I will be making this soon since we are eating a lot of turkey now!
I just visited your blog Pam, and am saving your recipe for the turkey burgers too! I now only eat turkey sausage in the morning and in all of my sandwiches and wraps. I can’t wait to try your burgers!
Roz
I hear ya Roz, it does take some planning ahead when making food to bring to work. I love your turkey wrap with pesto – so healthy too. Who doesn’t like pesto ? right ? Thanks for adding more links for sandwiches and wraps, I definitely need more ideas when it comes to making lunch for my husband these days.
Thanks you two Charleston gals!

The wraps look delicious Roz and I’m really glad not having to worry about a work lunch.
I would love to win the lottery and not have to work too Larry! Enjoy your retirement!

Smoked turkey and pesto. That sounds good! Wish I had some sun-dried tomatoes, I’d be making this tomorrow!
The sun-dried tomatoes really do add a lovely flavor twist to this! Thanks for stopping by!

Wraps are so easy and convenient. This recipes sounds absolutely wonderful, from the pesto to the sun-dried tomatoes. I’m going to have to give it a try!

Thanks Sarah, they have a great flavor combination that almost everyone would enjoy! Thanks for your kindness!

I also would make and pack my lunches the night before. I would do anything I could to make it so I could sleep to the very last second. Now I don’t have to worry about that. I can make my lunch at home. Your wrap will be on my rotation. I love pesto and turkey. It’s a fantastic combo.
You’re so right Renee! Every second of extra zzzzz’s in the morning just makes my day! Thanks for stopping by!
