Tips for the Perfect Wrap
Customize Your Wrap: Don’t feel like you have to stick strictly to this recipe. One of the great things about the Black Friday Turkey Cranberry Wrap Recipe is its versatility. Got some stuffing left? Throw it in for added flavor and texture. Maybe some roasted veggies? They can add a delightful crunch and earthy taste.
Make It Healthy: If you're looking to cut down on calories or make a more health-conscious choice post-Thanksgiving, you can swap the flour tortillas for whole-wheat ones, or even use a lettuce wrap. Additionally, replacing mayonnaise with Greek yogurt or opting for low-fat cheese can keep the wrap light while still delivering on flavor.
