Ingredients
4 large flour or spinach tortillas
1 pound thinly sliced deli turkey breast
1/2 cup cranberry sauce
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 clove garlic, minced finely
2 tablespoons red onion, finely diced
1 tablespoon fresh chives or parsley
2 cups fresh baby spinach
1 teaspoon olive oil
Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine softened cream cheese, minced garlic, diced onion, and fresh herbs.
Season with salt and pepper to taste, then stir in the olive oil until smooth and uniform.
Lay each tortilla flat on a clean surface and spread an even layer of the cream cheese mixture, leaving a small border at the edges.
Spread a light layer of cranberry sauce over the cream cheese base.
Place turkey slices over the sauce and top with a layer of baby spinach.
Roll each tortilla tightly into a log.
Wrap each log in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
Using a sharp serrated knife, slice the rolls into one-inch thick segments and serve.
Notes
Chill the rolled logs for at least 30 minutes before slicing to ensure the pinwheels hold their shape. Using a serrated knife is key for achieving clean, even cuts without squashing the fillings.
