Quick and easy turkey pesto pinwheel roll-ups made with just 4 main ingredients. Perfect for lunchboxes, parties, or a fast snack—no cooking required.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large flour tortillas (10-inch)
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup basil pesto (store-bought or homemade)
  • 12 slices deli turkey breast
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • Fresh spinach leaves (optional)
  • Sun-dried tomatoes, chopped (optional)
  • Roasted red pepper strips (optional)

Instructions

  1. Soften the cream cheese by leaving it out for 30 minutes or microwaving on low for 10-15 seconds.
  2. Lay a tortilla flat on a cutting board. Spread about 2 tablespoons of softened cream cheese evenly over the entire surface.
  3. Spread about 2 tablespoons of pesto over the cream cheese layer.
  4. Place 3 slices of turkey flat on top, overlapping slightly to cover the tortilla.
  5. Sprinkle about 1/4 cup of shredded mozzarella evenly over the turkey. Add any optional ingredients (spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, roasted red peppers) if desired.
  6. Starting at one edge, roll the tortilla tightly, tucking in the filling as you go. Press the seam to seal.
  7. Wrap the rolled tortilla tightly in plastic wrap, twisting the ends. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
  8. Chill the wrapped rolls in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (or up to overnight).
  9. Unwrap the chilled rolls. Using a sharp knife, trim off the uneven ends, then slice into 1-inch thick rounds.
  10. Arrange pinwheels cut-side up in a lunchbox or serving platter. Serve cold or at room temperature.

Notes

Chilling is essential for clean slices. Use a serrated knife for best results. Make ahead for better flavor—these taste even better after a few hours in the fridge. For gluten-free, use large gluten-free tortillas. For dairy-free, use dairy-free cream cheese and vegan mozzarella.
