Ingredients You’ll Need

These ingredients are refreshingly simple but each plays a crucial role in creating the amazing texture, flavor, and color that make Greek Turkey Wraps with Roasted Garlic Feta Sauce truly unforgettable. From aromatic herbs to fresh vegetables, every component brings the dish to life in its own special way.

Ground turkey (1 ½ lbs): The lean protein base absorbs spices beautifully and stays tender in the wrap.
Olive oil (2 tablespoons + 1 teaspoon): Adds richness and helps with cooking while imparting that signature Mediterranean flavor.
Fresh lemon juice (from 1 lemon + 1 tablespoon): Brings brightness and a bit of acidity that balances the earthiness of the spices.
Garlic (3 cloves + 1 whole head): Two forms of garlic create layers of flavor—fresh garlic for cooking and roasted garlic for the sauce.
Dried oregano (1 ½ teaspoons): A classic Greek herb that lends a warm, slightly bitter note.
Smoked paprika (1 teaspoon): Adds subtle smokiness and vibrant color to the turkey.
Ground cumin (½ teaspoon): For a hint of earthiness that rounds out the spices.
Salt and black pepper: Essential for seasoning and balancing flavors.
Feta cheese (1 cup, crumbled): The rich, salty star of the sauce that ties everything together.
Plain Greek yogurt (¾ cup): Provides creaminess and a touch of tang in the roasted garlic feta sauce.
Warm water (1–2 tablespoons): Used to thin the sauce to a perfect spreadable consistency.
Pita breads or flatbreads (4 large): The cozy vessel that holds all the delicious fillings.
Romaine lettuce (1 cup, shredded): Adds crispy freshness and crunch.
Cucumber (1 cup, diced): Cool and juicy, balancing the savory meat.
Cherry tomatoes (1 cup, halved): Sweet bursts of flavor and vibrant color.
Red onion (¼ cup, thinly sliced): A sharp bite that lifts the overall taste.
Kalamata olives (¼ cup, optional): For an extra salty, briny punch.
Fresh parsley (2 tablespoons, chopped): Adds a fresh herbal note as garnish.
Lemon wedges (optional): To squeeze over just before eating for extra zest.

How to Make Greek Turkey Wraps with Roasted Garlic Feta Sauce

Step 1: Roast the Garlic

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). To roast the garlic for that deep, mellow flavor, slice off the very top of the garlic head to expose all the cloves. Drizzle it with one teaspoon of olive oil and wrap it snugly in foil. Roast in the oven for 30 to 35 minutes until the cloves are soft and golden. Once cooled, squeeze the roasted garlic cloves out—they’ll turn into a sweet, spreadable paste that’s the secret star of your feta sauce.

Step 2: Prepare the Roasted Garlic Feta Sauce

In a food processor, combine your freshly roasted garlic, crumbled feta cheese, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, and black pepper. Blend all these luscious ingredients until the mixture becomes creamy and smooth. To get that perfect spreadable texture, add warm water one tablespoon at a time, blending in between additions to reach your desired consistency. Pop the sauce into the fridge to chill while you cook the turkey.

Step 3: Cook the Turkey

Whether you’re using ground turkey or turkey breast strips, the key is to infuse the meat with those classic Greek flavors. For ground turkey, heat two tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Toss in minced garlic and cook just until fragrant—about 30 seconds. Add the turkey along with oregano, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. Break the meat apart and cook for 6 to 8 minutes until fully done and fragrant. Stir in the freshly squeezed lemon juice and remove the skillet from heat. If you prefer turkey strips, toss them in olive oil, lemon juice, and the spice mix, then sauté over medium-high heat until cooked through, about 5 to 7 minutes. The spices cling beautifully to every bite.

Step 4: Assemble the Wraps

Warm your pita breads just enough so they’re pliable and inviting. On each, spread a generous layer of the luscious roasted garlic feta sauce. Pile on the perfectly cooked turkey, followed by shredded romaine, crisp cucumber, juicy cherry tomatoes, thinly sliced red onion, and Kalamata olives if you like a salty twist. Finish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley and a squeeze of lemon if you desire. Fold your wrap up tight, and get ready to enjoy every bite of a Mediterranean feast bursting with flavor and texture.

How to Serve Greek Turkey Wraps with Roasted Garlic Feta Sauce

Garnishes

Your wraps will shine even more with simple garnishes. Fresh parsley is a perfect addition for visual pop and brightness. A light drizzle of extra lemon juice right before eating adds a zesty lift that enhances all the ingredients. If you love a bit of heat, sprinkle in a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes or a drizzle of harissa sauce to amp things up.

Side Dishes

Serve these wraps alongside light, complementary sides to create a well-rounded meal. Consider a Greek salad with cucumbers, tomatoes, and olives dressed in lemon and olive oil. A side of crispy roasted potatoes or even a lightly dressed quinoa salad brings heartiness without overwhelming the fresh flavors. Tzatziki or a simple cucumber-yogurt salad pairs beautifully too, adding even more cooling creaminess.

Creative Ways to Present

Want to impress guests or add a fun twist? Cut the wraps in half diagonally and arrange them on a platter with colorful vegetable sticks for dipping into leftover roasted garlic feta sauce. You can also serve the turkey and sauce in lettuce cups for a low-carb alternative or turn it into a family-style spread with all the toppings and sauces laid out buffet-style for a build-your-own wrap party. Either way, it’s guaranteed to be a hit!

Make Ahead and Storage

Storing Leftovers

If you have any leftover Greek Turkey Wraps with Roasted Garlic Feta Sauce, wrap them tightly in foil or plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator for up to two days. To avoid sogginess, it’s best to keep the sauce separate and add it fresh when ready to eat.

Freezing

The cooked turkey can be frozen on its own in an airtight container for up to three months. Defrost overnight in the fridge and reheat thoroughly before assembling your wraps fresh. It’s best not to freeze the assembled wraps as the veggies and sauce don’t freeze well.

Reheating

For best results, reheat the turkey gently in a skillet over medium heat or microwave until warmed through. Warm the pita bread separately to keep it soft and pliable. Then, assemble your wraps with fresh sauce and veggies for that perfect contrast of warm, savory meat and cool, crisp fillings.

FAQs

Can I use chicken instead of turkey for this recipe?

Absolutely! Chicken breast or thighs work beautifully and will absorb the spices just as well. Cooking times may vary slightly, so keep an eye to avoid overcooking.

Is this recipe gluten-free?

The wrap itself depends on the pita or flatbread you use. For a gluten-free version, simply opt for gluten-free pita or use large lettuce leaves as a wrap alternative.

How do I make the roasted garlic without an oven?

If you don’t have an oven, you can roast garlic on the stovetop by slowly cooking peeled garlic cloves in a covered pan with a little olive oil on low heat until soft and golden. This will take time and gentle attention but yields similar flavor.

Can I prepare the roasted garlic feta sauce ahead of time?

Yes, the sauce actually benefits from sitting in the fridge for a few hours or overnight as the flavors deepen. Just make sure to stir it before serving and thin with a bit of warm water if it has thickened too much.

What’s the best way to make the wraps less messy to eat?

To avoid spills, don’t overload the wraps and fold them tightly. You can also wrap them in parchment paper or foil to hold everything together and make them easier to handle on the go.
