These easy cheesy turkey and cheese pinwheels are a quick, wholesome snack made with whole wheat tortillas, deli turkey, and melty cheddar cheese, perfect for healthy snacking and crowd-pleasing.

Ingredients

Scale
  • Whole Wheat Tortillas (8-inch size)
  • 6–8 slices Deli Turkey (lean, thinly sliced turkey breast)
  • 1 cup shredded Cheddar Cheese (sharp or mild)
  • 4 oz softened Cream Cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon Mustard
  • A handful Fresh Spinach Leaves (optional)
  • Black Pepper to taste
  • Olive Oil for brushing

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  2. Mix the cream cheese, garlic powder, and Dijon mustard in a bowl until smooth and creamy.
  3. Lay one whole wheat tortilla flat on a clean surface. Using a spreading knife or offset spatula, evenly spread a thin layer of the cream cheese mixture over the tortilla, leaving about a half-inch border around the edges.
  4. Layer the turkey slices evenly over the cream cheese.
  5. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly on top. If using spinach, scatter the leaves now.
  6. Carefully roll the tortilla tightly.
  7. Using a sharp knife, slice the rolled tortilla into 1-inch thick pinwheels (about 8-10 pinwheels per tortilla).
  8. Place the pinwheels cut side up on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops lightly with olive oil.
  9. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the edges are lightly browned.
  10. Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Soften cream cheese before spreading to avoid tearing tortillas. Use a sharp knife to slice pinwheels for clean edges. Brush olive oil lightly for a golden crisp. Chill rolled tortillas before slicing if pinwheels are loose. Avoid overcrowding baking sheet for even crisping.
