In a large bowl, combine 8 oz of softened cream cheese with 1/4 cup of raspberry preserves and mix well.

Taste the mixture and add about 1 tablespoon more raspberry preserves if needed.

Set the raspberry cream cheese mixture aside.

Roast 1 red bell pepper in the oven at 450°F, rotating it 2-3 times until evenly charred.

Cover the roasted pepper with foil and let it rest for about 30 minutes.

Remove the stem and outer charred layer from the roasted red pepper, then remove the seeds.

Roughly chop the roasted red pepper and place it in a food processor.

Add 8 oz of softened cream cheese, salt, pepper to taste, and 1 tbsp of sriracha to the food processor.

Process the mixture until smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed.

If desired, add honey for sweetness and mix again.

Take a large flour tortilla and place some of the raspberry cream cheese filling down the middle.

Add 2 slices of American cheese on top of the filling.

Layer roasted turkey meat on top of the cheese, followed by shredded lettuce.

Leave space on the sides of the tortilla for easier folding.

Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then bring the bottom up and over the filling, tucking it in tightly.

Slice the wrapped tortilla into pieces and serve.

For the roasted red pepper version, drain excess liquid from the roasted red peppers using cheesecloth before mixing.

Place some of the roasted red pepper cream cheese mixture in the middle of the tortilla, add cheese, turkey meat, and shredded lettuce.

Roll up the tortilla tightly, slice, and serve.
