Tips and Tricks

Dry the lettuce well - Water left on the leaves can make the wraps slippery and dilute the sauce.
Choose large outer leaves - Larger butter lettuce leaves hold the turkey and toppings more easily.
Keep the sauce separate for meal prep - Add it just before serving so the lettuce stays crisp.
Use cold cottage cheese - The sauce tastes best chilled against the warm turkey.

Storing and Reheating

Refrigerator - Store the cooked turkey, cottage cheese sauce, vegetables, and lettuce in separate airtight containers for up to 3 days.
Microwave - Reheat only the turkey until hot, then assemble the wraps with the cold lettuce, vegetables, and sauce.
Skillet - Warm the turkey over medium-low heat for a few minutes, stirring occasionally. Add a splash of water if it seems dry.
