Spicy Lemon Honey Feta Cream
½ cup feta cheese, crumbled
¼ cup Greek yogurt
1 tbsp honey
1 tbsp lemon juice

Assembly Ingredients
4 large tortillas or flatbreads
2 cups packed baby spinach
½ cup cherry tomatoes, halved
½ cup cucumber, diced
¼ cup red onion, thinly sliced
Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
Instructions
Prepare the feta cream
In a small bowl, combine feta, Greek yogurt, honey, lemon juice, lemon zest, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Stir until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
Cook the ground turkey
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté 30 seconds until fragrant.
Season the meat
Add ground turkey, oregano, cumin, salt, and pepper. Cook, breaking up with a spatula, until fully cooked and slightly browned, about 6–8 minutes.
Warm the tortillas
Heat tortillas or flatbreads in a dry skillet or microwave for a few seconds until pliable.
Assemble the wrap base
Spread a generous layer of feta cream down the center of each tortilla.
Add the turkey
Spoon seasoned ground turkey evenly over the feta cream.
Layer the vegetables
Add baby spinach, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and red onion on top of the turkey.
Garnish
Sprinkle fresh parsley over the fillings for brightness and color.
Wrap tightly
Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll tightly from the bottom to enclose all fillings.
Serve or prep
Slice in half if desired and serve immediately, or wrap in foil for meal prep.
Tips
Drain any excess liquid from turkey while cooking to avoid soggy wraps.
Toast tortillas lightly for extra flavor and sturdiness.
Adjust red pepper flakes for heat preference.
Use Greek yogurt for creaminess and tang.
Warm the feta cream slightly for easier spreading.
Chop vegetables uniformly for balanced bites.
For extra texture, add roasted red peppers or olives.
Wrap tightly to prevent filling from falling out.
Refrigerate extra feta cream; it keeps for 3–4 days.
Meal prep by assembling wraps without spinach; add fresh greens before serving.
Variations
Substitute ground chicken or beef for turkey.
Use whole wheat or gluten-free tortillas.
Add avocado slices for creaminess.
Include roasted eggplant or zucchini for more vegetables.
Swap red pepper flakes with harissa paste for extra spice.
Add a handful of cooked quinoa for more protein.
Use romaine lettuce leaves instead of tortillas for low-carb wraps.
Mix feta cream with fresh dill or mint for herby flavor.
Top with a squeeze of extra lemon juice for brightness.
Add toasted pine nuts for crunch.
