Smoked Turkey Cobb Wraps
These smoked turkey cobb wraps are out of this world delicious and beyond simple. They are the perfect lunch or simple dinner!
I feel a little silly posting a recipe-that-isn’t-really-a-recipe for these amazing wraps but I figure if I adore a meal enough to eat it five, yes five, days straight for lunch, then I owe you the favor of sharing the methodology.
These.Smoked.Turkey.Cobb.Wraps.Are.Out.Of.This.World.
And that’s basically all I need to say. But I’ll expound a bit more to tell you that the schmear of cream cheese underlying layer upon layer of cobb ingredients (think: lettuce, tomato, bacon, hard-boiled egg, turkey and avocado) works in a way that should be absolutely illegal.
Because I’m pretty sure it was wrong on all sorts of levels for me to eat this wrap as many days in a row as I did last week (and will probably continue to do from here on out).
This easily ranks as one my favorite lunches of all time. And dinner, too, for that matter, since I was still craving it one night when dinner rolled around and served it up for the fam.
The creaminess of the avocado and delicious texture of the hard-boiled egg, surprisingly, is what knocked it over the top for me.
Can you tell I’m having a hard time ending this discussion? Seriously, your life will not be the same until you make and devour one of these babies.
Peace out.

Thank you for the much needed lunch inspiration! PBJs and plain meat sandwiches get old. I made these this morning for me and my husband’s work lunches – they kept well in the fridge and weren’t soggy by lunchtime. The wrap was VERY filling and very delicious. Thank you!
I know that this is an older post…but I just found it today and had everything on hand and needed a quick meal for after swim lessons. It was delicious! All three of my children ate it well and my husband two bites in asked where I had come up with this combo (I, of course, gave you all the credit) and made sure I knew he was enjoying it. We will make this again this summer for sure. I love when my kids eat veggies willingly and seemingly without noticing that they are there. Thanks for another winner!
Thanks, Amanda!
Oh this was so good! Perfect for a quick & easy dinner. I cooked the bacon & eggs in advance so all I had to do was warm up the wrap bread ( I used the whole wheat lavash bread I get from Trader Joes) & add the rest of the fillings. I also added some fig jam to the cream cheese as I had just read about doing this & it added a little sweetness that was yummy! These were really delicious wraps! Added to my list of quick & easy dinners, thank you Mel!
Mel, you’re site is such a blessing! Since discovering it months back, the recipes you feature have been regulars on my weekly menus. Haven’t made a dud yet! Tonight we feasted on these wraps, and it was so, so good. YUM OUT!!!
Thank you, Tory!
Delicious! It’s a stroke of genius to put a cobb salad in a wrap! All of the flavors are balanced perfectly. My wife requested blue cheese instead of cream cheese and she was very happy with that, too. Now we have one more recipe in our arsenal of favorites.
These were SO good. Could not be simpler and great for a hot summer weeknight dinner. I used sundried tomato lavash as the wrap and it was fantastic. Thanks Mel!
i just made this for lunch for 4. it was yummy. but i don’t know how you were making it every day! it took me a lot of time! and i smell like bacon ;P
Thank you for reminding me of the wrap! I made it today with sliced chicken! I’m enjoying your site so much that my meal plans for the last two weeks have ALL been from you! Thank you a million times over for creating such family friendly and delish recipes.
Can’t wait to try this one!
Tried these first with neufchatel cheese in place of cream cheese and I was disappointed. Tried it again with cream cheese and loved it! I should always follow my instincts to avoid low fat! They were a hit at my last get together cut into 1 inch slices. Thanks for another great recipe, Mel!
Mel, made these tonight and they were wonderful! Thank you for posting. Love your blog and a big congratulations for number 5 on the way!
I made this today for lunch and it was delicious! Instead of using a hard boiled egg, I used a warm soft boiled one and that put this over the top. Thank you! Might be my new favorite lunch.
Made one of these for my lunch today. It was really good and very satisfying. Low cal, too.
I made this for lunch today. Super easy and very tasty! Thanks for the idea!
Cream cheese makes everything better! Have you ever tried putting small dabs on top of scrambled eggs? Heaven.
My family loved these!! I used the sun-dried tomato and basil wraps you mentioned…yum! But really, any flavor would do, as long as the wraps are 12 inches in diameter. They have to be that big to hold all the deliciousness inside. I loved how filling these were. We’ll definitely be making these again 🙂
I adore wraps and this one looks great with lots of flavour.
this is simple yet terrific, mel! my only change would be adding pepper jack cheese into the equation–i can’t seem to live without that stuff. 🙂
what kind of tortilla are you using, it almost looks like the tomato basil flavored I have tried before.
ce – it is a tomato basil (I think sun-dried tomato or something) wrap. Made by Mission, I think.
Heh, I’ve got cobb SALAD on the menu plan this week … maybe I should swap it out … may nix the cream cheese and use the laughing cow lite bleu cheese stuff … yummm…thanks for sharing the methodology 🙂
Jenn – I’ll still be your friend if you don’t use the avocado. 🙂 If you don’t like them then definitely leave them out!
Thank you! I have seriously been in a lunch rut! So weird that I have all of these ingredients, but would have never thought to serve it like this. Yum!
Those sound so yummy!!
I think these will be lunch tomorrow! Yum! Thanks!
is it still out of this world delicious if you don’t use avacado? I dont’ think I like avacados! lol
Mel,
Those wraps look delish! But I am really writing about another recipe and I don’t seem to see an email address on the site so I am resorting to leaving a comment. I made your pudding cinnamon rolls this summer and they are WONDERFUL. I made them using a jar of yeast and I don’t remember any issues. I am making them again tonight for a brunch tomorrow and I bought packets of yeast. The recipe calls for 2 TABLESPOONS of yeast and I calculate that to be approximately all three packets of yeast. I don’t bake a lot of yeast breads but that strikes me as a lot of yeast. I already made them and I used two packets which is 4.5 teaspoons so that may not be enough…or I may be all mixed up and it may be too much. Anyway, I am not questioning your recipe but if using packets of yeast that say they contain 2.25 teaspoons per packet how many would you use? Thank you so much, I am a huge fan of your site and your recipes. Your family is very lucky to have you cooking for them. (BTW, I am thinking pink for you!)
I am always wondering what to make for dinner…or lunch. I am making homemade tortillas right now. Now i know what to make. I have most of this stuff. Thanks for the idea so much!!!!!!!
Guess what’s for lunch tomorrow?!!!
Oh my goodness… I want one of these right now!
Simple yet delicious- what I am always looking for. Thank you. We will be putting this on the next dinner menu. Hope all is still going well for you and the little one on the way!
I absolutely adore wraps, and this looks like it become a favorite lunch in my house, too! YUM!
I love wraps, this may be wrong on so many levels but I did Baco’s. Put them on the cream cheese so they stick, great flavor and crunch, quick if you don’t have or feel like cooking Bacon. Love this flavor combination, and love your recipes.
Love it! I was totally craving a wrap today, and then this recipe appeared 🙂 Better yet, I have all the ingredients (minus the turkey, but I’ll just use ham ’cause I’m hungry). My day is complete. Thank you Mel!
I made something very similar for a baby shower, except I cut the tortilla into 2 inch slices so that they were more bite-sized finger foods. For me, it’s DEFINITELY the cream cheese that gives this type of recipe the addictive quality. Looks delicious! 🙂
Wraps are my go to lunch. My favorite one lately is spinach, roasted cherry tomatoes, cucumber, feta, red onion, and balsamic vinaigrette. I will have to give this one a try. It looks great!
Don’t feel guilty at all! Some of us are not as, shall we say, “inventive” in the kitchen. I need a recipe for everything, and love to have some that are easy and delicious. I’ll be making these really soon. Thank you, thank you! Your blog is amazing – I cook something from it at least weekly but frequently more often. Like dinner last night (Orange Julius and Creamy Chicken and Wild Rice Soup).
I believe you–this looks delicious! 🙂
I’m always looking for more lunch ideas. This is a great one!
My imagination has just been given a jolt. I think we all aspire to such inventivemess and obvious wonderful flavor.
