Ingredients for Turkey Roll Ups:

cream cheese turkey roll ups

Flour Tortillas-Create the roll up and are really pliable, which makes them great for this recipe. I use large flour tortillas, but not as large as a burrito.

Turkey Breast- Deli lunchmeat, sliced thin stays really flat to the tortilla shell for an easy roll up. For this recipe, I used Oven Roasted Turkey Breast, but you can use any kind of turkey you like.

Cream Cheese-Combines with a homemade taco seasoning for the most delicious, creamy spread. Make sure its softened at room temperature to make it smear easy on the tortilla.

Cheddar Cheese– Pairs fantastic with the cream cheese and taco seasoning for the best flavor.

Onion and Bell Peppers– Bring in a crisp freshness and crunch to this recipe.

See recipe card below for a full list of ingredients and measurements.

Not big on turkey breast? You can use any of your favorite deli meats in this recipe. Try chicken breast, ham, pepperoni or salami.

In case your kids don’t like onions and bell pepper, don’t put them in the dish.

For the seasoning, you can substitute a tablespoon of taco seasoning instead of the mixture of spices.

The Cheddar cheese can be substituted with a variety of cheeses, like pepper jack, mozzarella, Colby cheese, etc. I do recommend shredding your own from the block for a better, fresher taste. If youre short on time, you can use a bagged, shredded mix.

Other wrap flavors can be used for this recipe, like spinach or tomato basil.

If you like pinwheel recipes, you should also try my baked bacon cream cheese pinwheels. They make a great holiday appetizer.

FAQ

How long do turkey roll ups last in the fridge?

Storage. If you are serving these at a party or meal prepping them for lunches, I recommend to leave them tightly wrapped in plastic wrap in the fridge prior to serving (and slicing). They can be left in the fridge for up to 5 days.

How do you get pinwheels to stay together?

Refrigerating the pinwheels for several hours helps the flavors of the filling meld together and slightly hydrates the tortillas, so the pinwheels will hold their tightly spiraled shape even after they’re sliced.
