Summer’s right around the corner, and I’m officially looking for that quick and yummy lunch option. You know the feeling — when the weather warms up, and you want lighter, fresher meals that still pack a punch. For me, that means swapping out heavy, creamy spreads for something that feels bright but keeps me full and fueled. Enter my new obsession: a high-protein, low-carb turkey grinder wrap that’s everything I want in a meal right now.
​
Here’s the twist that makes this wrap next-level — I swapped out mayo for a creamy combo of cottage cheese and Greek yogurt. And honestly? I never thought I’d say this, but I’ve fallen hard for cottage cheese. I was that kid who refused to touch it, and even as an adult, it barely made it onto my plate. But now? It’s like this secret weapon in my kitchen.
The cottage cheese adds creaminess and protein without the heaviness or fat of traditional mayo, and when blended with Greek yogurt, it creates this tangy, smooth spread that elevates the whole wrap. It’s perfect for a “grinder” style sandwich, which is usually this classic sub or hoagie loaded with deli meats and veggies — only here, it’s a wrap version that’s lighter but still hearty enough to keep me satisfied through busy days. I pile on sliced turkey breast, crispy bacon for that salty crunch, and plenty of fresh, crunchy veggies — think lettuce, tomato, cucumber — all wrapped up in a soft tortilla. It’s a handheld powerhouse that feels like a treat but fits right into my health goals.
​
This turkey grinder wrap is my go-to when I want something fast, fresh, and packed with protein — without weighing me down. And that cottage cheese + Greek yogurt combo? It’s now a staple in my kitchen, showing up in everything from wraps to salads. If you’re looking for a fresh way to switch up your lunch, give this one a try. Cottage cheese might surprise you the way it surprised me.
