Tips & Variations

  • For extra crunch, add chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans to the slaw mix.
  • If you prefer a sweeter twist, substitute honey with maple syrup.
  • Use spinach or kale depending on your preference for greens.
  • Try using turkey breast slices with herbs or smoked turkey for added flavor.
  • To make it vegetarian, swap the turkey for grilled tofu or a plant-based deli slice.

Storage

Store any leftover slaw and turkey separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Assemble the wraps just before serving to avoid sogginess. If wrapped, keep the wraps well wrapped in parchment or foil and enjoy within a day. Reheat the turkey if desired, but it’s best served cold or at room temperature for the freshest taste.

FAQs

Can I use a different type of cabbage?

Yes, you can use only green or only red cabbage if that’s what you have on hand. Each variety adds a slightly different flavor and color to the slaw.

Is Greek yogurt necessary for the dressing?

Greek yogurt provides creaminess and protein, but you can substitute it with regular yogurt or mayonnaise if preferred. Just adjust seasoning to taste.
