Tender turkey and creamy cheese with fresh spinach rolled in tortillas for tasty pinwheels.

# 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

# How To Make It:

01 - Combine cream cheese, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, shredded cheddar, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl using a spatula until mixture is smooth and fully blended.
02 - Place one tortilla on a clean cutting board. Spread one-quarter of the cheese mixture evenly across the surface, right to the edges.
03 - Layer approximately 1.75 ounces of sliced turkey over the cheese spread, covering the tortilla completely.
04 - Scatter about half an ounce of spinach leaves evenly atop the turkey layer.
05 - Starting from one side, roll the tortilla tightly into a log shape, ensuring an even roll.
06 - Repeat filling and rolling steps with remaining tortillas and ingredients.
07 - Wrap each rolled tortilla log in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes to firm up for easier slicing.
08 - Unwrap tortillas, trim ends, and slice each log into six even pinwheels using a sharp chef's knife.
09 - Arrange pinwheels on a serving platter. Serve chilled or at room temperature as desired.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • Perfect for busy days, these pinwheels come together in a flash with no stove required.
  • The balance of savory turkey and fresh spinach keeps everyone reaching for seconds.
02 -
  • Not chilling the rolls makes slicing messy—learned that after my first batch looked more like abstract art.
  • Fresh spinach works best; wilting leaves turn soggy and change the texture completely.
03 -
  • Let the cheese spread come to room temperature so it spreads perfectly without tearing the tortillas.
  • Press the roll gently yet firmly to get the spiral tight, but resist the urge to squish so nothing oozes out the sides.
