Turkey Cheese Pinwheels with Spinach Wrap


  • Author: Isabel
  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: 24 pinwheels 1x

Description

A quick, no-cook lunch or snack made by rolling turkey, cheese, and spinach in tortillas with a creamy herb filling. Ready in 15 minutes and perfect for meal prep.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 flour tortillas (6-inch or 8-inch)
  • 8 oz (225g) soft cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tablespoons butter, softened
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried dill
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 810 slices deli turkey breast
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese
  • 2 cups fresh baby spinach leaves, packed and dry
  • Optional: ¼ cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes
  • Optional: 2 tablespoons thinly sliced red onion

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine softened cream cheese, softened butter, garlic powder, dried dill, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and creamy.
  2. Lay tortillas flat on a clean surface. If stiff, microwave for 10 seconds to soften.
  3. Spread a thin, even layer of the cream cheese mixture over each tortilla, leaving a ½-inch border around the edges.
  4. Layer turkey slices, shredded cheese, and spinach leaves (and optional add-ins) evenly over the cream cheese.
  5. Starting from the long edge, roll the tortilla up tightly, tucking in the filling as you go.
  6. Wrap the rolled tortillas tightly in plastic wrap or parchment paper and refrigerate for at least 10-15 minutes to firm up.
  7. Remove from fridge, unwrap, and slice each roll into 1-inch pinwheels using a sharp chef’s knife.
  8. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container.

Notes

Ensure spinach is completely dry to prevent soggy pinwheels. Use a sharp knife for clean cuts. Do not skip the chilling step as it helps the pinwheels hold their shape when sliced. These freeze well un-sliced for up to 1 month.
