These fresh rainbow pinwheel sandwiches with turkey and veggies are a quick, healthy snack that combines creamy spread, lean turkey, and crisp veggies in a colorful, fun-to-eat roll.

Ingredients

Scale
  • Large flour tortillas, about 10-inch diameter (whole wheat optional)
  • Cooked turkey slices, thinly sliced deli turkey or leftover roasted turkey breast
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup small-curd cottage cheese, blended until smooth
  • Red bell pepper, finely diced
  • Yellow bell pepper, finely diced
  • ½ cup shredded carrots
  • ½ cup cucumber, peeled and diced
  • A handful baby spinach leaves, finely chopped
  • 2 stalks green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill or parsley, chopped (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Rinse and dry all fresh produce. Finely dice the red and yellow bell peppers, cucumber, and shred the carrots. Thinly slice the green onions and chop the baby spinach and herbs.
  2. Place the cottage cheese in a food processor or blender and pulse until smooth.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese with the blended cottage cheese. Stir in the lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  4. Gently mix the chopped bell peppers, carrots, cucumber, spinach, green onions, and herbs into the spread.
  5. Lay a large tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread an even layer (about ¼ inch thick) of the veggie and cream cheese mixture over the tortilla, leaving a small border around the edge. Layer slices of turkey evenly on top.
  6. Starting from one edge, roll the tortilla as tightly as possible without squeezing out the filling. Wrap the roll tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
  7. Remove the roll from the fridge and unwrap. Using a sharp knife, slice into 1-inch thick pinwheels. Arrange on a platter and garnish with extra herbs or a sprinkle of pepper if desired.

Notes

Use room temperature cream cheese for easier spreading. Dice veggies uniformly for smooth rolling. Chill the rolls for at least 30 minutes to firm up and slice cleanly. Avoid overloading the spread to prevent soggy tortillas. Tortillas can be warmed briefly if they crack when rolling. Store pinwheels wrapped tightly in the fridge for up to 2 days. Not recommended to freeze.
