A quick, healthy, and customizable lunch option featuring turkey roll-ups with fresh veggies and tasty sides, perfect for busy days or on-the-go meals.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6–8 slices (150-200g) thinly sliced turkey breast
  • 4 small whole wheat or spinach tortillas (or gluten-free if needed)
  • 1 medium avocado, sliced or mashed
  • 1 cup shredded carrots (about 100g)
  • 1 cup fresh spinach leaves
  • 3–4 tbsp hummus or Greek yogurt spread
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes
  • 1/2 medium cucumber, sliced
  • A small handful (about 30g) almonds or mixed nuts
  • 1 cup seasonal fruit (apple slices or grapes)
  • Optional: a few pickles or olives
  • Optional: 1-2 tsp mustard or light vinaigrette

Instructions

  1. Prepare the veggies and fruit (10 minutes): Wash all fresh produce thoroughly. Slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and either slice thinly or mash with a fork. Shred the carrots using a grater or vegetable peeler. Slice cucumber and cherry tomatoes into bite-sized pieces. Cut any fruit to your preferred size. Set aside in separate bowls or sections.
  2. Lay out the tortillas (2 minutes): Place the whole wheat or spinach tortillas flat on your prep surface. If softening is needed, wrap them in a damp paper towel and microwave for 15 seconds.
  3. Assemble the turkey roll-ups (5 minutes): Spread a thin layer of hummus or Greek yogurt spread evenly over each tortilla. Layer turkey slices on top, then add avocado, shredded carrots, and spinach leaves. Roll each tortilla tightly from one edge to the other, tucking in sides as you go to keep the filling contained.
  4. Cut and pack (3 minutes): Slice each roll-up into bite-sized pieces (about 1.5 inches / 4 cm thick). Arrange these pieces neatly in your bento box compartment. Fill other sections with cherry tomatoes, cucumber slices, nuts, and fruit. Add any optional extras like pickles or olives.
  5. Final touch (1 minute): If you like, add a small container of mustard or vinaigrette for dipping. Close the bento box securely and refrigerate if not eating immediately.

Notes

Use thinly sliced turkey for easier rolling. To prevent avocado browning, mix with lemon juice or add just before serving. Smaller roll-ups are easier to eat and pack. Store components separately if preparing ahead to maintain freshness. Avoid freezing due to fresh veggies and avocado. For dairy-free, swap Greek yogurt with coconut yogurt or extra hummus. For gluten-free, use corn tortillas or almond flour wraps.
