  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1 tsp Onion Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1 Chicken Bouillon Cube crushed
  • 2 tbsp Wet Jerk Marinade mild or hot

  • 1/2 tbsp Honey

Other Ingredients

  • 4-6 lrg Tortilla Wraps
  • Lettuce Leaves rinsed and pat dried
  • Tomatoes sliced

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, combine green and red cabbage, carrots, onion, mayonnaise, sugar and white vinegar then mix well and place in the fridge until serving.
  • Add turkey to a large bowl and season well with jerk marinade, garlic powder, onion powder, poultry bouillon cube, salt, black pepper and soy sauce. Mix until the turkey is well coated and set aside to marinate for at least 15 minutes.
  • Heat BBQ grill (or skillet with a drizzle of oil) to a medium high, then place your marinated turkey breasts on your preheated grill or skillet, and close the lid. Flip your turkey breasts and continue cooking until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  • When done, transfer the turkey breasts to a cutting board and let it rest for 5 to10 minutes before slicing.
  • Place tortillas on a plate and spread with a thin layer of jerk mayo sauce. Layer with lettuce, tomatoes, a few slices of turkey and creamy coleslaw. Wrap tightly, cut in half, serve and enjoy!

Notes

  • Have all the other components of the turkey wrap ready to go (mayo and coleslaw) so you can assemble the wraps as soon as the turkey is ready.
  • Allow the turkey to rest for at least 5 minutes after grilling so that it retains its juices.
  • Ensure all the ingredients are in the center of the tortilla wrap before you roll them in order to avoid any spillage.
