Ingredients
- 1 lb lean ground turkey (93% lean)
- 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1/2 tsp ground cumin
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 4 large whole wheat tortillas (10-inch)
- 1 cup shredded romaine lettuce
- 1 medium tomato, diced
- 1/2 medium red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- Fresh cilantro or parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Spread the rinsed chickpeas on a baking sheet, drizzle with 1/2 tbsp olive oil, and season with smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to coat.
- Roast the chickpeas for 15 minutes, shaking the pan halfway through, until crispy. Remove from the oven and set aside.
- Meanwhile, heat the remaining 1/2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground turkey and cook, breaking it apart with a spatula, until fully cooked and browned, about 7-8 minutes. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
- In a small bowl, combine plain Greek yogurt, lemon juice, and minced garlic to create a creamy sauce. Mix well and set aside.
- Warm the whole wheat tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for flexibility. To assemble each wrap, spread about 2 tbsp of the yogurt garlic sauce down the center of a tortilla.
- Layer on about 1/4 of the cooked turkey, a handful of crispy roasted chickpeas, shredded romaine lettuce, diced tomatoes, and sliced red onions.
- Sprinkle fresh cilantro or parsley on top if desired. Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling and roll tightly to form a wrap.
- Serve immediately or wrap tightly in foil or parchment for an on-the-go lunch.
Chef tips
- For a milder version, reduce or omit the cayenne pepper in the chickpea seasoning.
- You can substitute plain Greek yogurt with a dairy-free alternative like coconut yogurt to make this recipe dairy-free.
- If you prefer a crunchier wrap, add sliced cucumber or bell peppers for more texture.
- To save time, roast chickpeas ahead and store them in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Pros
- High in protein from both turkey and chickpeas, supporting muscle maintenance and satiety.
- Quick and easy to prepare, perfect for busy weekdays or meal prep.
- Balanced combination of lean protein, fiber, and fresh vegetables.
Cons / watch-outs
- Contains nightshades (tomato and paprika), which some individuals may need to avoid.
- Not gluten-free due to wheat tortillas unless using gluten-free wraps.
