Herb Turkey Egg Wrap – a gluten free, low carb tortilla substitute

This herb turkey egg wrap is a delicious low carb breakfast. Making the wrap out of eggs and herbs and then filling with turkey and cheese. Only takes minutes too!

Two other low carb breakfast ideas are these savory breakfast cookies and breakfast burritos.

I have a confession. I love McDonald’s breakfast food….especially their breakfast wraps and sausage egg mcmuffins. And while I rarely eat them, I’m embarrassed to say that I really love them. They could almost make me a regular breakfast eater.  Now that I’m having such a busy summer I thought I better start eating breakfast (not McDonalds) and of course keep it rather low carb or Paleo.

I made my Omelette in a Jar recipe which was great and now I’ve come up with an egg sandwich wrap that I love. The nice thing about these egg wraps is that they are so easy to make and you could fill them with anything. I imagine that with a few alterations you could even make them sweet rather than savory. Hmmm…wheels are turning on that idea……

How to make a low carb egg wrap

Now let’s make some egg wraps. I used a small nonstick frying pan, about 5 or 6 inches in diameter along with a touch of cooking spray. Then I got my batter ready. All you have to do is beat 1 egg and any herbs you like. I used fresh herbs but you could use dried just make sure to use less dried. The ratio of dried to fresh herbs is 1t dried herbs = 3t fresh.

After you beat the egg and herbs well (and I do mean well) add them to your pan and swirl to coat the whole surface. Once it starts to set, swirl again to get the liquid from the middle out into the edges. When it seems sturdy enough to flip, do so and then sprinkle your cheese on top while the bottom finishes setting. Slide it off the pan and you have your cheese wrap.  You don’t have to use the cheese this way and add it at the end. I just like mine melted.

What to put on your egg wrap

Next layer with any meat, cheese, vegetables or condiments you like. I used a pepper crusted turkey and a sharp cheddar cheese and that’s all. I ate mine for breakfast and since I’m not a big breakfast eater, I wanted to keep it simple. However, I can see you making this for lunch and adding some baby spinach, thinly sliced onions and a spicy mustard.

Herb Turkey Egg Wrap

Roll it up and you got yourself a tasty Turkey & Cheese Herbed Egg Wrap! I have yet to make a big batch of these and freeze for later but I plan to and will make sure to update you on how that went. For now this is a recipe for just one wrap. It only takes minutes so you can make them anytime you want. Also they are pretty sturdy and can be eaten by hand, especially if you wrap them in wax or parchment paper. Enjoy!
