Even the best turkey can’t save you if you pile it a mile high. Aim for 3-4 ounces, which is about the size of your palm (or a deck of cards, if you’re a gambler at heart). Too much protein can actually convert to glucose—yes, really!
But here’s the fun part: You can eat it every day if you want, just rotate the brand. Different companies use different processing methods, so variety spreads the risk. Plus, it keeps you from getting bored—and bored diabetics make poor choices.
The Bread Situation
Let’s be real: the turkey is only half the story. What you put it on matters more. A whole-grain wrap, lettuce wraps, or even a cloud of avocado slices are your diabetic BFFs. Ditch the white bread—it’s basically tiny pillows of sugar.

And don’t forget the veggies! Load up on lettuce, tomatoes, and cucumbers. They add crunch and fiber, which help slow down that turkey’s digestion even more. Think of it as a vegetable hug for your blood sugar.
