Wash and pat dry the romaine lettuce leaves. Set aside.
Peel and slice the avocado. Transfer to a small bowl, add lemon juice, salt, and black pepper, and mash until smooth to create the avocado spread.
Thinly slice the tomato, cucumber, and red onion.
Lay a large piece of parchment paper or baking paper on your working surface. Place two romaine lettuce leaves overlapping on the paper to form a base for the sandwich.
Spread 2 tablespoons of cream cheese over the lettuce base.
Layer half of the smoked turkey breast slices evenly over the cream cheese.
Add half of the mashed avocado over the turkey, spreading it evenly.
Top with a few slices of tomato, cucumber, and red onion.
Carefully roll the lettuce wrap tightly using the parchment paper as a guide, similar to rolling sushi, ensuring that all the ingredients stay well-packed inside.
Once rolled, repeat the process with the remaining ingredients to make the second sandwich.
Serve the lettuce wrap sandwiches immediately or store in the refrigerator wrapped in the parchment paper for up to a few hours.
