TURKEY PINWHEELS

Categories     turkey     No-Cook     Kid-Friendly     Quick & Easy     Back to School     Lunch     Cranberry     Spinach     Carrot     Healthy     Swiss Cheese     Tortillas     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     Small Plates

Yield Makes 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 large whole-wheat wrap (11 to 12 inches), or 2 smaller wraps (8 inches), or a 12-by 9-inch rectangular lavosh
1 tablespoon mayonnaise
1 lightly packed handful rinsed baby spinach leaves
1 tablespoon dried cranberries
2 medium carrots, ends cut off, peeled and coarsely shredded
2 slices Swiss cheese, such as Jarlsburg (2 ounces)
2 thin slices store-bought roasted turkey breast (2 ounces)

Steps:

  • If necessary, warm the wrap in a 350°F oven for 2 minutes to soften before filling.
  • Lay the wrap on a work surface and spread the mayonnaise all over. Sprinkle the spinach leaves, cranberries, and carrots evenly on top. Arrange the Swiss cheese and turkey in even layers over the vegetable layer. Fold in the side edges and then roll up snugly from the bottom.
  • Cut crosswise into 4 even pieces and wrap tightly in plastic.

Tips:

  • Choose the right tortillas: For the best results, use soft, pliable tortillas that are not too thick. Corn tortillas are a good option, as they are typically thinner and more flexible than flour tortillas.
  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better your pinwheels will taste. Look for brightly colored vegetables and herbs, and use ripe fruit.
  • Season your ingredients well: Don't be afraid to season your ingredients with salt, pepper, and other spices. This will help to bring out their flavor and make your pinwheels more delicious.
  • Don't overfill the tortillas: When you are filling the tortillas, be careful not to overfill them. Otherwise, they will be difficult to roll up and may fall apart.
  • Roll the tortillas tightly: Once you have filled the tortillas, roll them up tightly. This will help to keep the filling inside and prevent the pinwheels from falling apart.
  • Chill the pinwheels before slicing: Chilling the pinwheels before slicing will help them to hold their shape and make them easier to cut.

Conclusion:

Turkey pinwheels are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for parties, potlucks, and picnics. With so many different variations to choose from, there is sure to be a turkey pinwheel recipe that everyone will love.
