These Easy Turkey Pinwheels are a quick and delicious no-cook appetizer or snack featuring flour tortillas filled with a creamy spread, sliced turkey, cheddar cheese, fresh lettuce, and cucumber. Perfect for lunchboxes or party platters, they are simple to prepare and packed with fresh flavors.

  • Total Time: 10 minutes
  • Yield: 16 pinwheels (approximately 4 servings)

Ingredients

Wraps

  • 4 extra-large or burrito-style flour tortillas

Filling

  • 1 (9 oz) sliced turkey breast
  • 8 slices cheddar cheese
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 tbsp mayonnaise
  • ½ tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 cup fresh lettuce leaves
  • 1 cup thinly sliced cucumber
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture: In a small bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, and Dijon mustard until smooth and well combined. Season with salt and pepper to your taste.
  2. Spread the Mixture on Tortillas: Lay out one tortilla flat on a clean surface. Evenly spread a thin layer of the cream cheese mixture over the entire surface of the tortilla.
  3. Add Turkey and Cheese: Place a few slices of turkey breast evenly on top of the cream cheese layer, then add slices of cheddar cheese over the turkey to cover the tortilla surface.
  4. Layer Fresh Vegetables: Add fresh lettuce leaves followed by the thinly sliced cucumber evenly on top of the turkey and cheese layers.
  5. Roll the Tortilla: Starting from one edge, tightly roll the tortilla to form a firm pinwheel shape. Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas and ingredients.
  6. Slice Into Pinwheels: Using a sharp knife, slice each rolled tortilla into 1-inch thick pieces to create individual pinwheel sandwiches.
  7. Serve or Store: Serve the turkey pinwheels immediately as a fresh snack, or wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least an hour before slicing to help them hold their shape.

Notes

  • If tortillas feel dry or crack when rolling, wrap them in a damp paper towel and microwave for a few seconds to soften.
  • For easier slicing and better shape retention, refrigerate wrapped pinwheels for at least an hour before cutting.
