Turkey Lettuce Wraps with Bacon and Swiss

These turkey lettuce wraps with bacon and Swiss are a quick lunch made with chopped turkey, crispy bacon, tomato, shredded Swiss cheese and a creamy mayonnaise dressing. Spoon the filling into crisp lettuce leaves for all those sandwich flavors in a fresh, crunchy wrap.

All I can say is OMG. My turkey, bacon and Swiss lettuce wraps are SO GOOD! They’re one of my favorite easy lunches on warm spring and summer days. I mean, seriously, I’m jealous of my own lunch it looks so good.

What you need for turkey lettuce wraps

The filling combines cooked shredded turkey or chopped deli turkey, cooked and crumbled bacon, shredded Swiss cheese, chopped tomato, mayonnaise and fresh parsley. Season it to taste with salt and pepper. The full amounts are in the recipe card below.

This is a handy way to use leftover cooked turkey. Deli turkey works too—chop it into bite-size pieces so you get a little of everything in each lettuce cup. Use bacon that’s already cooked and cooled before mixing the filling.

How to make turkey, bacon and Swiss lettuce wraps

Combine everything except the lettuce and gently toss to coat with mayonnaise. Taste and adjust the seasoning, then spoon the turkey, bacon and Swiss salad into individual lettuce leaves. Serve as open lettuce cups, or fold the leaves around the filling if they’re large enough.

The best lettuce for these wraps

I use Bibb or Buttercrunch lettuce. Their broad leaves make little cups for holding the filling. Choose leaves that are intact, rinse them and dry them well so the dressing doesn’t get watery. If a leaf is delicate, double it up.

Can you make them ahead for lunch?

Yes! Pack the filling and clean, dry lettuce separately, keep both chilled, and fill the leaves when you’re ready to eat. That keeps the lettuce crisp. If your tomato is especially juicy, drain off the extra juice before mixing it into the salad.

For another easy lunch using deli turkey, try my turkey-wrapped avocado wedges with Sriracha mayo. If you love crisp lettuce and bacon together, my wilted lettuce salad with bacon is a family favorite with a warm dressing.
