Quick and easy turkey and spinach pinwheels with cream cheese and herbs, perfect for entertaining and last-minute snacks.

Ingredients

Scale
  • Large flour tortillas (about 10-inch size)
  • 8 ounces sliced deli turkey (thinly sliced)
  • 8 ounces cream cheese (softened, full-fat preferred)
  • 1 cup fresh spinach leaves (washed and roughly chopped)
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (blend of dried basil, oregano, and thyme)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: red pepper flakes or shredded mozzarella cheese instead of Parmesan

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, grated Parmesan, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and well blended (3-5 minutes).
  2. Wash and roughly chop about 1 cup of fresh baby spinach. Ensure leaves are dry to avoid sogginess (about 2 minutes).
  3. Lay one tortilla flat on a cutting board. Spread a generous, even layer of the cream cheese mixture over the entire surface, leaving about a half-inch border at the edges.
  4. Layer about 2 ounces of sliced turkey evenly over the cream cheese. Sprinkle the chopped spinach on top, distributing evenly (about 4 minutes).
  5. Roll the tortilla tightly into a log. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up the filling.
  6. Remove from fridge, unwrap, and slice into 1-inch thick rounds using a sharp knife or pizza cutter. Each tortilla yields about 12 pinwheels.
  7. Arrange pinwheels on a platter and serve immediately or keep chilled for up to 4 hours.

Notes

Ensure spinach is well dried to prevent soggy pinwheels. Chill rolled tortillas for at least 30 minutes before slicing for clean cuts. Use a pizza cutter or warm knife blade for best slicing results. Can be served chilled or at room temperature. For warm serving, bake 5 minutes at 350°F (175°C).
