These Easy Cream Cheese Turkey Spinach Pinwheel Wraps are a quick and delicious lunch or snack idea, perfect for using up leftovers. With a creamy, seasoned spread, tender turkey, and fresh spinach rolled into flour tortillas, they’re a crowd-pleaser that comes together in under 15 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • Pinch of salt (about 1/8 teaspoon)
  • 4 large flour tortillas (burrito size, about 10 inches)
  • 8 oz thinly sliced deli turkey breast
  • 2 cups fresh spinach leaves, washed and dried
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (optional)

Instructions

  1. Make the cream cheese spread: In a small bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt. Mix with a spatula until completely smooth and fluffy. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Set aside.
  2. Prep your tortillas: Lay one tortilla flat on your cutting board. If cold, microwave for about 10 seconds to make more pliable.
  3. Spread the cream cheese mixture: Using your spatula, spread about 2 tablespoons of the cream cheese mixture evenly over the entire surface of the tortilla, going all the way to the edges.
  4. Layer the turkey: Place about 2 ounces of sliced turkey evenly over the cream cheese, overlapping slices slightly so there are no gaps.
  5. Add the spinach: Scatter about 1/2 cup of fresh spinach leaves over the turkey, spreading them out evenly and leaving about an inch bare at the far edge of the tortilla.
  6. Sprinkle the cheese (optional): If using mozzarella, sprinkle about 2 tablespoons over the spinach.
  7. Roll it up tight: Starting from the edge closest to you, roll the tortilla away from you, keeping the filling tucked in. Roll firmly but not too tight. When you reach the bare edge, press gently to seal.
  8. Wrap and chill: Place the rolled tortilla seam-side down on a piece of plastic wrap. Wrap tightly, twisting the ends like a candy wrapper. Repeat with remaining tortillas. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 24 hours.
  9. Slice and serve: When ready to serve, unwrap one roll at a time. Using a sharp serrated knife, slice the roll into 1-inch thick pinwheels using a gentle sawing motion. Arrange on a platter and serve cold or at room temperature.

Notes

Chilling is essential for clean slices. Use a serrated knife and wipe it between cuts. Spinach must be thoroughly dried to prevent sogginess. For best results, make a day ahead.
