These Easy Cheesy Mini Turkey Pinwheels are a quick, crowd-pleasing snack made with turkey, cheese, and tortillas. Perfect for last-minute gatherings or busy days, they are simple to prepare and delicious.

Ingredients

  • Large flour tortillas (8-inch size)
  • Deli turkey slices (8 ounces, thinly sliced)
  • Shredded cheddar cheese (1 cup)
  • Cream cheese (4 ounces, softened)
  • Mayonnaise (2 tablespoons, optional)
  • Dijon mustard (1 teaspoon)
  • Fresh spinach leaves (1 cup, optional)
  • Garlic powder (1/4 teaspoon)
  • Black pepper (to taste)

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, mix together the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, and black pepper until smooth and combined.
  2. Place one large flour tortilla flat on a clean surface or cutting board.
  3. Spread a thin, even layer of the cream cheese mixture over the entire surface of the tortilla, leaving about a 1/2-inch border around the edges.
  4. Layer turkey slices evenly over the cream cheese base, covering the tortilla but not piling too high.
  5. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the turkey evenly.
  6. If using, lay fresh spinach leaves on top of the cheese.
  7. Starting from one edge, roll the tortilla tightly but gently into a log shape.
  8. Wrap the rolled tortilla tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 10 minutes.
  9. Remove the plastic wrap and use a sharp knife to cut the roll into 1-inch thick slices, aiming for about 12 mini pinwheels per roll.
  10. Arrange the pinwheels on a platter and serve immediately, or keep refrigerated until ready to eat. To warm, bake in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 5 minutes.

Notes

Softened cream cheese is key for easy spreading. Chill the rolled tortilla before slicing to help maintain shape. Use a sharp or serrated knife to slice gently and avoid squishing. Pinwheels can be made ahead and refrigerated or frozen for later use.
