These easy turkey pinwheel sandwiches are quick to make, fresh, and satisfying, perfect for lunch or snacks. They combine mild turkey, cream cheese, and crisp veggies rolled in a soft tortilla.

Ingredients

  • Large flour tortillas (10-inch)
  • Thinly sliced turkey breast (8 ounces / 225 grams)
  • Cream cheese, softened (4 ounces / 115 grams)
  • Fresh spinach leaves (1 cup / 30 grams)
  • Shredded carrots (1/2 cup / 60 grams)
  • Thinly sliced cucumber (1/2 cup / 50 grams)
  • Thinly sliced red bell pepper (1/2 cup / 50 grams)
  • Optional: Dijon mustard (1 tablespoon)
  • Optional: Freshly cracked black pepper to taste
  • Optional: Fresh herbs like dill or parsley (1 tablespoon, chopped)

Instructions

  1. Prepare your ingredients: rinse and dry spinach leaves. Thinly slice cucumber and red bell pepper into 1/4 inch strips. Shred carrots or use pre-shredded.
  2. Mix the spread: soften cream cheese in a bowl, stir in Dijon mustard, fresh herbs, and black pepper if using.
  3. Lay out the tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread an even layer of the cream cheese mixture over the tortilla, leaving a 1/2 inch border.
  4. Layer turkey slices evenly over the cream cheese, then add spinach leaves, shredded carrots, cucumber strips, and bell pepper slices.
  5. Roll the tortilla tightly into a log shape, tucking in fillings as you go. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap or parchment paper and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
  6. Remove wrap and slice the roll into 1-inch thick pinwheels using a serrated knife. Arrange on a platter and serve immediately or pack for lunch.

Notes

Use room temperature cream cheese for easier spreading. Pat veggies dry to avoid soggy pinwheels. Chill rolled tortilla before slicing for cleaner cuts. Use a serrated knife and gentle sawing motion to slice without squishing. Prepare rolls ahead and slice just before serving for best freshness.
