Description

Flavorful Turkey Cranberry Pinwheels are a quick, tasty, and festive appetizer made with creamy cranberry spread, savory turkey, and fresh greens rolled in soft tortillas — perfect for parties, lunches, or snacks.


Ingredients

  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 8 oz sliced turkey breast (deli or cooked)
  • 6 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup cranberry sauce
  • 1 cup fresh spinach or arugula (optional)
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Make Spread: In a bowl, mix softened cream cheese and cranberry sauce until smooth. Season with salt and pepper if desired.
  2. Assemble: Lay tortillas flat. Spread a layer of cranberry cream cheese mixture over each. Layer turkey slices, spinach/arugula, and optional shredded cheese.
  3. Roll and Slice: Roll each tortilla tightly into a log. Slice into 1-inch pinwheels using a sharp knife.
  4. Serve: Arrange on a platter. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.

Notes

  • Add honey mustard to the spread for a tangy variation.
  • Use leftover holiday turkey instead of deli slices.
  • Sprinkle cinnamon or nutmeg into the spread for a festive touch.
  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
  • Use gluten-free tortillas for a gluten-free option.
