It’s easy to make turkey roll ups with just a few simple ingredients. Full of deli meat, cheese and layered with a sun dried tomato cream cheese spread, these turkey rolls make a great party appetizer or meal.

 

Why I love this recipe:

• Simple: Roll ups, or pinwheels, are a delicious and easy appetizer. They take about 10 minutes to make.
• Customizable: You can easily change or adjust the ingredients to your taste.

Recipe ingredients

• Tortillas – I like using flour tortillas for this recipe. Burrito size works well because you can get more roll ups out of that size. You can substitute with smaller tortillas if needed.
• Turkey – Use your favorite sliced deli turkey for these roll-ups.
• Cheese – Swiss cheese adds great flavor to these roll-ups.
• Cream cheese – You can use low-fat or full fat cream cheese. Make sure that it is softened so that it’s easier to spread.
• Sun dried tomatoes – These can be found in a jar packed in oil. Make sure to chop them up into smaller pieces.
• Green onion – Adds color and flavor to the cream cheese spread.
• Lettuce – Green leaf or Romaine lettuce work well for this recipe. You could even substitute or add in spinach for some extra green.

How to make turkey roll ups

Step one: Mix together cream cheese and sun-dried tomatoes. Place a tortilla on a cutting board and spread out a layer of the cream cheese mixture on top of the tortilla. Make sure to spread it out to the edge of the tortilla.

Step two: Place lettuce down the center of the tortilla. Next lay the turkey slices on top of the lettuce and then cheese slices on top of the turkey.

Step three: Roll the tortilla lengthwise into a tight roll.

Step four: Wrap tightly in plastic wrap, like Saran Wrap. Place in the refrigerator until ready to slice and serve. Slice off the ends and then cut into equal pieces.

Recipe tips

• Make ahead: You can make these pinwheels the night before serving them.
• Store: Keep any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They will last up to 3 days.
• Servings: This makes about 12 roll ups but you can double or triple the recipe for a larger crowd.

Recipe variations

• Cream cheese: You can use full fat or low fat cream cheese. Try adding different flavors like ranch seasoning, or mix in cranberry sauce to make copycat Costco turkey roll ups.
• Deli meat and cheese: Easily change these roll-ups with different meat and cheese like roast beef, ham, chicken, provolone, cheddar, or American cheese.
• Tortillas: Try using a whole grain tortillas, spinach tortilla, or even a low-carb tortilla.
