Cut the turkey into bite-size pieces.
Season the turkey pieces evenly with 2 teaspoons of salt, 1 teaspoon of black pepper, 2 teaspoons of turmeric, 2 tablespoons of sweet paprika, and ½–1 teaspoon of cayenne pepper, depending on your preferred spiciness.
Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large pan over medium heat. Add the seasoned turkey and cook until it's fully cooked through but still wonderfully juicy. Be careful not to overcook it!

Finely chop the cucumber.
Finely chop the cherry tomatoes. For a less soggy burrito, make sure to remove their watery centers, including the juice and seeds, before chopping.
Finely chop the green onions.
Take one large tortilla and spread about 2–3 tablespoons of cottage cheese evenly over its surface.
Layer a generous amount of the chopped cucumber, tomatoes, and green onion onto the cottage cheese. Then, add some fresh spinach and arugula.
Add a portion of the cooked turkey to the center of your loaded tortilla.
Drizzle approximately 1 tablespoon of BBQ sauce over the fillings, or adjust to your taste.
Place 3–4 green olives on top of the fillings.
Carefully roll up the tortilla tightly to form your delicious burrito.
Serve your freshly rolled Turkey Burritos with Cottage Cheese immediately and enjoy! They are also great for packing as a healthy lunch.
