You’ve heard of the Turkey Trot, but have ya heard of the Rawking “Turkey” Wrap!?!

A savory walnut “turkey” crumble seasoned with sage & thyme, paired with a tangy and bright raw cranberry sauce, with fresh slices of avocado, over shredded cabbage, with a dollop of cashew mayo, wrapped up in a leaf of living butter lettuce.

Raw Vegan Turkey & Cranberry Lettuce Wraps

  • Crumbled “turkey” (recipe below)
  • Cranberry Relish (recipe below)
  • Cashew Mayo (recipe below)
  • Butter Leaf Lettuce
  • Avocado, sliced
  • Cabbage, shredded
  • Optional: chopped shallots
  • Optional: cucumber spears

Assemble lettuce wraps with “ground turkey”, cranberry relish, avocado, cabbage, etc.

Crumbled “Turkey”

  • 1 cup raw walnuts
  • 1 tsp dried sage
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped
  • 2 teaspoons coconut aminos or tamari
  • pinch black pepper

Pulse all ingredients (except lettuce) in food processor.

Cranberry Relish

  • 12 oz, I bag fresh cranberries
  • 1 cup medjool dates
  • juice from 1 lemon
  • 3 Tablespoons Honey

Blend ingredients into a sauce, add sweetener to taste. This sauce is better made 1 day ahead of time, it will firm up into a rich sauce if left to sit in the fridge overnight.

Creamy Cashew or Macadamia Mayo

  • 1 cup cashews or macadamia nuts (soaked for a few hours if you can)
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 1 T olive oil
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup water
  • Pinch sea salt

Blend ingredients in food processor until creamy.

  1. This looks so great! I have got to try the cashew mayo!

  2. Oh, the cashew mayo is so good with some herbs mixed in too! Like dill & chives! MMMM….

  3. I cannot wait to try the cashew mayo, since I had to give up all condiments due to vinegar… I’m thinking I can put it on “EVERYTHING” thanks!

    • Hey Joyce! I hope you enjoy!! This was a huge hit in my class last night, and I brought another batch with me to work today, all of it in separate containers to be assembled into wraps for lunch. For low-starch/AS eating I just use macadamia nuts instead of raw cashews for the mayo. (and in all honestly, I still eat with it cashews sometimes too, as they are a bit creamier, but also a bit starchier too) xoxo
