These Easy Cheesy Turkey Pinwheel Roll-Ups are quick, simple snacks combining turkey, cheese, and cream cheese spread in a soft tortilla, perfect for busy days or casual gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • Large flour tortillas (10-inch size)
  • 4 oz (115 g) cream cheese, softened
  • 6 to 8 oz (170 to 225 g) cooked turkey slices (deli-style turkey breast)
  • ½ cup (55 g) shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • ¼ cup (28 g) shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • Fresh spinach leaves (optional, about ½ cup or 15 g)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Soften the cream cheese by letting it sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes or microwave covered for 15 seconds.
  2. In a small bowl, mix the softened cream cheese with smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
  3. Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface and spread an even, thin layer of the cream cheese mixture over the entire tortilla.
  4. Arrange turkey slices evenly over the cream cheese, overlapping slightly but not piling too thick.
  5. Sprinkle shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses evenly on top of the turkey.
  6. If using, scatter fresh spinach leaves over the cheese layer.
  7. Starting at one edge, tightly roll the tortilla into a log shape to keep the filling secure.
  8. Wrap the roll in plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for about 10 minutes to firm up.
  9. Using a sharp knife, cut the roll into 1-inch thick slices and arrange on a serving plate.
  10. Optional: For a warm snack, bake pinwheels at 350°F (175°C) for 5 minutes until cheese melts.

Notes

Do not overstuff the roll-ups to avoid tearing the tortilla. Soften cream cheese before spreading for best results. Chill roll before slicing to keep pinwheels intact. For warming, bake briefly to melt cheese without crisping tortilla too much. Can be made ahead and refrigerated up to 24 hours before slicing. Freeze rolled tortillas before slicing for longer storage.
