Buffalo Turkey Christmas Wraps

A festive and spicy twist on holiday leftovers, these wraps combine juicy turkey, tangy buffalo sauce, crisp vegetables, and creamy ranch—all wrapped and air-fried to golden perfection.

I enjoy making these wraps during the holiday season as a creative way to use leftover turkey and add some excitement to our meals.
