Pickle Juice Turkey Club Wraps (Printable)

Turkey, bacon, tomato, lettuce, and cheese wrapped in a soft tortilla for a bold club sandwich spin.

# Components:

→ For Brined Turkey

01 - 500 g (1.1 lb) sliced turkey breast
02 - 250 ml (1 cup) pickle juice
03 - 1 tsp black peppercorns (optional)

→ For Wrap Assembly

04 - 4 large flour tortillas (25 cm / 10 inches)
05 - 8 slices cooked bacon
06 - 2 medium tomatoes, thinly sliced
07 - 4 leaves romaine lettuce
08 - 4 slices Swiss or cheddar cheese
09 - 2 tbsp mayonnaise
10 - 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
11 - 1 tbsp chopped fresh dill (optional)
12 - Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

# Directions:

01 - Place the turkey breast slices in a bowl or resealable bag. Pour over the pickle juice and add black peppercorns if using. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 4 hours, to brine.
02 - Drain the brined turkey and pat thoroughly dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and chopped fresh dill (if using).
03 - Lay out the tortillas. Evenly spread the mayonnaise-mustard mixture over each tortilla, maintaining a 2 cm (1 inch) border. Layer lettuce, cheese, turkey slices, bacon, and tomato slices onto each tortilla. Season lightly with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
04 - Fold in the sides of each tortilla, then roll up tightly from the bottom to fully enclose the fillings. Slice each wrap in half diagonally and secure with toothpicks if desired. Serve immediately, or wrap tightly and chill for later enjoyment.

03 -
  • The key to preventing soggy wraps is patting the brined turkey completely dry before assembly. Take your time with this step using plenty of paper towels.
  • When rolling the wraps, keep the fillings centered and don't overstuff. A properly rolled wrap should be firm enough to hold together but not so tight that the tortilla tears or fillings squeeze out the sides.
  • For the best flavor development, allow the mayo mixture to sit for at least 15 minutes before spreading it on the tortillas. This gives the flavors time to meld together for a more cohesive taste experience.
