These easy turkey pinwheel wraps combine creamy softened cream cheese, fresh spinach, and savory turkey slices rolled in soft flour tortillas for a quick, satisfying snack or appetizer.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 (8-inch) flour tortillas
  • 8 ounces (225 grams) thinly sliced deli turkey breast, low-sodium preferred
  • 4 ounces (115 grams) cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 1 cup (30 grams) fresh baby spinach leaves, washed and dried
  • Pinch of garlic powder
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Optional: thin slices of red bell pepper
  • Optional: sprinkle of shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions

  1. Soften the cream cheese by letting it sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes or microwave in 10-second bursts until spreadable but not melted.
  2. In a small bowl, mix the softened cream cheese with a pinch of garlic powder and freshly ground black pepper until evenly combined.
  3. Rinse and dry the baby spinach leaves; tear any large leaves into smaller pieces.
  4. Place one 8-inch flour tortilla flat on a clean surface.
  5. Spread a thin, even layer of the cream cheese mixture over the entire tortilla using a spreading knife or offset spatula.
  6. Layer about 4 ounces of turkey slices evenly over the cream cheese.
  7. Scatter the baby spinach evenly on top of the turkey. Add optional red bell pepper slices or shredded mozzarella if desired.
  8. Roll the tortilla tightly into a cylinder, ensuring the filling stays snug inside.
  9. Optionally, wrap the rolled tortilla in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 15–20 minutes for easier slicing.
  10. Using a sharp knife, slice the roll into 1-inch thick pinwheel rounds and arrange on a serving plate.

Notes

Soften cream cheese before spreading to avoid tearing tortillas. Chill rolled wraps before slicing for cleaner cuts. Use soft, pliable tortillas to prevent cracking. Customize fillings with optional ingredients or substitutions like smoked chicken or vegan cream cheese.
