Turkey Cheese Spinach Pinwheels (Printable)

Sliced tortilla pinwheels filled with turkey, cheddar, and spinach—delicious for gatherings or lunchboxes.

# What you'll need:

→ Tortillas

01 - 4 large flour tortillas (10-inch)

→ Spreads & Cheese

02 - 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
03 - 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
04 - 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
05 - 3.5 ounces shredded cheddar cheese

→ Meats

06 - 7 ounces sliced turkey breast

→ Vegetables

07 - 2 ounces fresh baby spinach leaves, washed and dried

→ Seasonings

08 - Salt, to taste
09 - Black pepper, to taste

# How-To Steps:

01 - In a medium mixing bowl, blend the cream cheese, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, shredded cheddar, salt, and black pepper until the mixture is creamy and thoroughly incorporated.
02 - Place a flour tortilla on a clean cutting board. Using a spatula, evenly spread a quarter of the cheese mixture across the surface, extending the spread to the edges.
03 - Arrange 1.75 ounces of sliced turkey breast evenly atop the cheese spread.
04 - Scatter a handful of fresh baby spinach leaves, roughly 0.5 ounce, over the turkey.
05 - Begin rolling the tortilla tightly from one edge to form a secure log.
06 - Repeat steps for the remaining tortillas and filling ingredients.
07 - Wrap each rolled tortilla log in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for a minimum of 30 minutes to facilitate clean slicing.
08 - Remove plastic wrap and trim off the ends. Use a chef's knife to cut each roll into 6 equal pinwheels.
09 - Arrange pinwheels on a serving platter. Offer chilled or at room temperature.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • They come together in minutes, but taste like you fussed for hours.
  • The mix of creamy, savory, and fresh keeps every bite interesting—no one gets bored.
02 -
  • If you rush and slice too soon, the filling oozes and pinwheels flop—give them real fridge time.
  • Switching to whole wheat tortillas for a party once surprised me—they hold up even better and the flavor is extra toasty.
03 -
  • Line your cutting board with parchment—cleanup is easier, and pinwheels don’t stick.
  • Using a serrated knife gives you perfectly clean edges—no crushed spirals, just tidy bites.
