These easy and creamy turkey and cheese pinwheel roll-ups are perfect for quick party snacks or last-minute appetizers, combining savory turkey, sharp cheese, and a creamy herb spread wrapped in soft tortillas.

Ingredients

Scale
  • Large flour tortillas
  • 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
  • 8–10 slices deli turkey breast
  • 1 cup (100 g) shredded cheese (sharp cheddar or Colby Jack, optional mozzarella)
  • 2 tbsp (30 ml) mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (or substitute fresh chives or dill)
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: a few dashes of hot sauce or smoked paprika

Instructions

  1. Soften the cream cheese by leaving it out of the fridge for about 30 minutes.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, garlic powder, chopped parsley, and black pepper. Mix until creamy and well incorporated. Add hot sauce if desired.
  3. Lay one large flour tortilla flat on a clean surface.
  4. Spread 2-3 tablespoons of the cream cheese mixture evenly over the tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges.
  5. Layer 2-3 slices of deli turkey evenly over the cream cheese spread without overlapping too thickly.
  6. Sprinkle about 1/4 cup (25 g) shredded cheese evenly over the turkey.
  7. Roll the tortilla tightly but gently into a log shape.
  8. Wrap the rolled tortilla in plastic wrap or parchment paper and chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
  9. Unwrap and slice the roll into 1-inch (2.5 cm) thick pinwheels using a sharp knife.
  10. Arrange on a serving platter and serve chilled or at room temperature.

Notes

Soften cream cheese before spreading to avoid tearing tortillas. Chill roll-ups before slicing for clean cuts. Avoid overfilling to keep pinwheels intact. Use a sharp knife rather than serrated for best slicing results. Can be made ahead and stored up to 3 days in the fridge.
