1. Wash and pat dry the romaine lettuce leaves. Set them aside to use as the 'bread' for the sandwich.
2. Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a small bowl. Mash the avocado until smooth. Add the lemon juice, sea salt, and black pepper, then mix well.
3. Lay out three large romaine leaves for the bottom layer of your sandwich wraps.
4. Spread a thin layer of the mashed avocado mixture over each lettuce leaf.
5. Place a slice of cooked turkey breast on top of each lettuce leaf. Divide the remaining slices evenly among the wraps.
6. Add one to two slices of tomato and a few slices of red onion to each wrap on top of the turkey.
7. Optional: Add a small dollop of Whole30-compliant mayonnaise to enhance creaminess and flavor.
8. Top each sandwich wrap with another lettuce leaf, creating a stack. Press gently to secure the layers.
9. Serve immediately or wrap tightly in parchment paper for an easy, portable meal.
