Yes, they are an excellent combination. Turkey provides lean, high-quality protein, while hummus offers healthy fats and fiber. Together, they create a filling meal that supports muscle maintenance and heart health.
Feta cheese or goat cheese crumbles pair very well with the savory hummus and sweet cranberries. A slice of sharp cheddar or provolone is also a classic choice if you prefer a milder flavor.
To prevent sogginess, dry your veggies (like pickles or cucumbers) thoroughly before adding them. You can also place the turkey slices or a large leaf of lettuce against the tortilla first to act as a moisture barrier for the hummus.

Hummus is a staple of the Mediterranean diet for good reason. Its base ingredient, chickpeas (garbanzo beans), is rich in fiber and heart-healthy fats, especially when blended with olive oil and tahini. Pairing it with roasted turkey breast maximizes the protein content of your meal without loading up on the saturated fats found in red/processed meats or heavy mayonnaise-based dressings.
Recipe yields 6 servings
Lay out tortillas. Spread hummus evenly among tortillas. Cover each tortilla with turkey slices. Sprinkle dried cranberries over turkey, followed by orange zest. Add caramelized onions.
Roll tightly. Trim edges of wraps with a sharp knife. Cut each wrap diagonally into 4 pieces. Serve chilled.
Since these wraps are a complete meal on their own, keep the sides light. A cup of creamy tomato soup or a crisp green salad with a sweet and savory vinaigrette pairs beautifully. For a refreshing finish, serve with fresh fruit slices or our easy fruit salad for a fun treat.
If you are gluten-free, swap the whole grain tortillas for your favorite brown rice or almond flour wraps. Spinach or tomato-basil wraps also add nice color.
Rotisserie chicken or leftover grilled chicken breast works just as well if you don’t have turkey on hand.
Raisins or chopped dried apricots can be used for a similar touch of sweetness.
Any flavor of hummus works, such as roasted red pepper or garlic. If you prefer a creamier tang, you can use a thin layer of Greek yogurt mixed with herbs, though this changes the flavor profile.
