These healthy high-protein turkey pinwheel wraps with veggies are quick, easy, and perfect for a nourishing snack or light meal. They combine lean turkey, fresh veggies, and a creamy mustard-cream cheese spread rolled in soft flour tortillas.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 large flour tortillas (10-inch)
  • 12 oz (340 g) thinly sliced deli turkey breast, preferably low sodium
  • 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened (light cream cheese optional)
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 cup shredded carrots (about 2 medium carrots)
  • 1 cup baby spinach leaves, washed and dried
  • 1 small cucumber, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • Optional: 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley or cilantro
  • Optional: 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar or mozzarella cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: pinch of lemon zest

Instructions

  1. In a medium mixing bowl, combine 8 oz softened cream cheese with 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard. Mix until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes. Soften cream cheese more if needed by microwaving for 10 seconds.
  2. Wash and dry baby spinach leaves thoroughly. Peel and shred carrots. Thinly slice cucumber and red bell pepper into matchstick-sized strips. Chop herbs if using.
  3. Place each tortilla flat on a clean surface. Evenly spread about 2 tablespoons of the cream cheese mixture over each tortilla, covering to the edges.
  4. Place 1.5 oz (45 g) of turkey slices evenly over the cream cheese layer on each tortilla without overlapping too thickly.
  5. Distribute shredded carrots, spinach leaves, cucumber slices, and red pepper strips evenly over the turkey. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and optional lemon zest. Add cheese if using.
  6. Starting at one edge, roll each tortilla tightly into a log shape. Wrap each log in plastic wrap or parchment paper and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to chill and set.
  7. Remove wraps from fridge, unwrap, and slice each into 1-inch (2.5 cm) pinwheels using a sharp serrated knife. Arrange on a serving platter.

Notes

Soften cream cheese before spreading to avoid tearing tortillas. Keep veggies dry to prevent soggy wraps. Chill wraps for at least 30 minutes before slicing to hold shape. Use a sharp serrated knife to slice clean pinwheels. Optional additions include cheese, herbs, and lemon zest. Variations include swapping turkey for tofu or chicken, using collard greens for low-carb, or adding avocado for creaminess.
