Ingredients

For the turkey

1 pound thinly sliced turkey breast raw cutlets or uncured deli turkey
2 tablespoons olive oil or avocado oil, for sautéing
1 teaspoon sea salt or to taste
1/2 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground, or to taste
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon smoked paprika or regular paprika

For the wraps

8 large leaves butter lettuce or Bibb or Boston lettuce, washed and patted dry
1 medium avocado pitted, peeled, and thinly sliced
1/2 cup English cucumber cut into thin matchsticks
1/4 cup red bell pepper thinly sliced strips
1/4 cup cherry tomatoes quartered, optional for extra freshness
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro or parsley chopped, for garnish

For the creamy keto sauce

1/4 cup mayonnaise preferably avocado oil mayo
2 tablespoons sour cream
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice or lime juice
1/4 teaspoon sea salt or to taste
1/4 teaspoon black pepper or to taste

Instructions

Pat the turkey slices dry with paper towels and place them in a bowl with olive oil, sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika, then toss until the turkey is evenly coated in the seasoning.
Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium to medium high heat until hot, then add the seasoned turkey in a single layer without crowding the pan.
Sauté or grill the turkey, turning once, until cooked through and lightly caramelized on the edges, about 2 to 3 minutes per side depending on thickness, then transfer to a plate and let it rest for a few minutes.
While the turkey cooks, wash and thoroughly pat dry the butter lettuce leaves, then arrange them on a serving platter so they are ready to fill.
Prepare the vegetables by slicing the avocado, cutting the cucumber into thin matchsticks, slicing the red bell pepper into thin strips, quartering the cherry tomatoes if using, and chopping the cilantro or parsley.
In a small bowl whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, fresh lemon juice, sea salt, and black pepper until the sauce is smooth and creamy, then adjust seasoning to taste.
Lay two lettuce leaves slightly overlapping for each wrap to create a sturdier base, with the cupped sides facing up to help hold the fillings.
Spoon a small amount of the creamy keto sauce into the center of each lettuce base and spread it lightly to create a flavorful layer that will help hold the turkey in place.
Top the sauce with a portion of warm turkey slices, followed by avocado slices, cucumber matchsticks, red bell pepper strips, and cherry tomato pieces, keeping the fillings in a neat line down the center.
Sprinkle the wraps with chopped cilantro or parsley and, if desired, an extra squeeze of lemon juice for brightness, then taste and add a pinch more salt or pepper if needed.
Fold the sides of the lettuce leaves up and over the fillings and roll tightly from the bottom to form wraps, then serve immediately while the turkey is still slightly warm and the lettuce is crisp.
For meal prep, store the cooked turkey, prepared vegetables, lettuce leaves, sauce, and avocado separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator, then assemble the wraps just before eating to maintain the best texture.

Notes

Keep net carbs low by using just a small amount of tomato and bell pepper and focusing on high fat ingredients like avocado and the creamy sauce. For a smoky variation, add a few slices of crumbled cooked bacon or a sprinkle of shredded cheddar while staying within keto macros. To prevent sogginess, be sure the lettuce leaves are completely dry before filling and avoid overloading each wrap with sauce and vegetables. If preparing ahead for lunches, slice the avocado at the last minute or coat it lightly in lemon juice before packing in a separate container. Each wrap uses two lettuce leaves for extra support, but you can add a third leaf if your leaves are very small or if you like a thicker, crunchier wrap.
