Quick and easy turkey pinwheel wraps layered with cream cheese and fresh veggies, perfect for a light lunch, snack, or party appetizer.

Ingredients

  • Large flour tortillas (10-inch) – soft and pliable, perfect for rolling
  • Cream cheese, softened – about 8 ounces (225g); full-fat preferred
  • Deli turkey slices – 8 to 10 slices, thinly sliced; nitrate-free if possible
  • Shredded carrots – 1/2 cup (about 50g)
  • Thinly sliced cucumber – 1/2 cup (about 50g), seeds removed
  • Baby spinach leaves – 1 cup packed
  • Red bell pepper, julienned – 1/3 cup (about 40g)
  • Fresh herbs (optional) – 1 tablespoon chopped dill or parsley
  • Salt and black pepper – a pinch to season the cream cheese
  • Lemon juice – 1 teaspoon (optional)
  • Optional add-ins: thinly sliced avocado, sprouts, or a light spread of mustard

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, soften 8 ounces (225g) of cream cheese until smooth. Add a pinch of salt, a grind of black pepper, and 1 teaspoon of lemon juice if using. Mix well.
  2. Place one 10-inch tortilla on a clean surface. Spread about 2 tablespoons (30g) of the cream cheese evenly over the entire surface, leaving about half an inch from the edges.
  3. Lay 2 to 3 slices of deli turkey evenly over the cream cheese layer, covering the tortilla but not overlapping too thickly.
  4. Sprinkle a thin layer of shredded carrots (about 2 tablespoons/25g), sliced cucumber (2 tablespoons/25g), baby spinach leaves (a small handful), and julienned red bell pepper (1 tablespoon/15g) over the turkey.
  5. Scatter a teaspoon of chopped fresh dill or parsley if desired.
  6. Starting from one edge, roll the tortilla up tightly but without squeezing out the filling. Wrap the roll tightly in plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for at least 15 minutes.
  7. Remove the plastic wrap and, using a sharp serrated knife, slice the roll crosswise into 1-inch (2.5cm) pinwheels. Arrange on a platter and serve.

Notes

Use softened cream cheese for easy spreading. Keep veggies dry to avoid soggy wraps. Chill wrapped rolls before slicing for clean pinwheels. Use a serrated knife for best slicing results. Can be made ahead and stored up to 24 hours before slicing.
