Ingredients
Scale
- Large flour tortillas or whole wheat wraps
- 8 ounces (225 grams) thinly sliced turkey breast, deli-style, low-sodium if possible
- 4 ounces (115 grams) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup (30 grams) fresh spinach leaves
- ½ cup (60 grams) shredded carrots
- ½ cup (50 grams) cucumber, thinly sliced
- ½ cup (50 grams) red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons (12 grams) green onions, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill or parsley, chopped (optional)
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, garlic powder, lemon zest (if using), chopped fresh dill or parsley, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix well until smooth and creamy (about 3-4 minutes).
- Rinse spinach leaves and pat dry. Thinly slice cucumber and red bell pepper, shred carrots if not pre-shredded, and finely chop green onions. Arrange veggies on a plate for assembly (5-7 minutes).
- Place each tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread about 2 tablespoons of the cream cheese mixture evenly over each tortilla, leaving about ½ inch around edges free.
- Layer turkey slices evenly on top of the cream cheese. Then add spinach, shredded carrots, cucumber slices, bell pepper strips, and green onions in a single layer.
- Starting at one edge, roll each tortilla tightly into a cylinder, keeping filling snug but not squished. Wrap each roll tightly in plastic wrap or parchment paper and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Remove wraps from fridge and unwrap. Using a sharp serrated knife, cut each roll into 1-inch thick slices. Arrange pinwheels on a serving platter.
Notes
Use room temperature cream cheese for easier spreading. Chill wraps before slicing to prevent falling apart. Thin, even slicing of veggies ensures balanced texture. For dairy-free, substitute cream cheese with plant-based spread. For gluten-free, use gluten-free tortillas or large leafy greens like collard greens as wraps.
