    I really liked how the turkey on the outside kept everything together without needing a tortilla. The mayonnaise added a nice creamy layer and the crunch from the red bell pepper slices gave it great texture. Rolling tightly from the short edge was key to getting a neat wrap. I might try adding some spicy mustard next time for a little more kick.

    Can I use a different kind of lettuce instead of green leaf?

      You can use romaine lettuce, iceberg lettuce or even red leaf. I've done butter lettuce or bibb lettuce too.
