Turkey pinwheels

My daughter loves ordering a wrap when we go out for lunch. There's something so appealing about a neatly wrapped meal all bundled in a tasty tortilla.

These wraps are fun to make and eat at home too! They are very versatile - you add what you like! And they are perfect for packing into a lunch box or slicing into smaller slices and serving as party food.

If you love these wraps, you'll also want to check out these Italian Pinwheels! Same basic idea, different filling.

The wrap

I used three different flavors of wraps - spinach and herb, sun-dried tomato, and rosemary garlic. You could also use plain tortillas as well. The flavored wraps offer fun colors and a touch of extra taste.

When serving at a party, I like to use a variety because it makes such a great presentation. Pick your favorite or choose all three!

The filling

Use your favorite meat, cheese, and extras when making these wraps. I used turkey, bacon, cheddar, red onions, micro greens, and lettuce. You could also make these completely vegetarian if preferred. Other options include:

  • Ham, roast beef, pastrami, salami
  • Swiss, colby, pepper jack,
  • Pepperoncini peppers, sprouts, olives, cucumbers, bell peppers, avocado
  • Mayonnaise, mustard, hummus, cream cheese

The spread

I used a basil cream cheese mixture for the spread. It adds a lot of flavor, and it also acts as the glue and holds the wrap together. You could also use basil mayo, chipotle mayo, plain mayo, garlic hummus, or your favorite condiment.

How to fill a wrap

  1. Cover wrap with cream cheese mixture or mayonnaise. This is what will keep your wrap together, so cover all the way to the edges.
  2. Add meat over the entire wrap. Keep a one-inch border around the sides and end of the wrap.
  3. Add cheese, bacon, onions, and lettuce on one end of the wrap
  4. Roll wrap tightly.

How to cut a wrap

There are several ways to cut a wrap. It all depends on your personal preference and how you are eating them.

  • Leave the wrap whole - this is the easiest way. If I'm making it just for me and in a hurry, I will often just roll up the wrap and eat it whole.
  • Cut the wrap in half - perfect for lunch boxes or for sharing
  • Make a fancy cut - makes a fun presentation for family or guests. This cut makes you feel like you are eating at a restaurant! Cut off the ends of the wrap. Cut the wrap in half and then each half into a diagonal slice. (See pictures below)
  • Slice into small rounds - great for a crowd or a party. When slicing into rounds, it's best to refrigerate the wraps for at least one hour prior to slicing. Wrap the rolled wrap tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate. This helps everything stay together and helps keep the wrap from falling apart. Slice off the ends and then cut the wrap into two-inch slices.

Tips for making a wrap

  • Use your favorite sandwich fixings. Swap out ingredients you like or have on hand.
  • When making ahead of time, don't add wet or juicy items. I only add tomatoes when I am going to eat the wrap right away. Otherwise, it tends to make the wrap soggy.
  • Don't overfill the wrap.
  • When filling the wrap, don't fill it all the way to the sides or the end. This makes a messy wrap and the ingredients tend to spill out.

I like to serve these turkey club wraps with homemade potato chips and a black bean and corn salad or an orzo pasta salad.

Equipment

Ingredients
  

Spread

  • 8 oz cream cheese (softened at room temperature)
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • ½ cup fresh basil leaves

Wraps

  • 6 tortilla wraps (I used 12 inch wraps )
  • 1 pound sliced turkey
  • 6 slices bacon (cooked)
  • 6 slices cheddar cheese
  • ¼ cup red onion (sliced thinly)
  • 2 cups microgreens
  • 6 slices lettuce

Instructions
 

Spread

  • In a food processor or with an electric mixer, combine cream cheese and mayonnaise. Once blended, add basil and pulse until basil is chopped and incorporated into cream cheese.
    8 oz cream cheese, ¼ cup mayonnaise, ½ cup fresh basil leaves

Wraps

  • Spread cream cheese mixture over entire surface of wrap. Make certain the cream cheese reaches the end of one side. This will be the "glue" that helps hold the wraps together.

  • Layer turkey over surface, leaving about 1 inch from sides and end.
    1 pound sliced turkey
  • Add bacon, cheese and remaining ingredients to the bottom of the wrap.
    6 slices bacon, 6 slices cheddar cheese, ¼ cup red onion, 2 cups microgreens, 6 slices lettuce
  • Roll wrap, ending with the side with the cream cheese spread at the end. Slice and serve.
  • To slice into 2 inch rounds, refrigerate wraps first for at least one hour. Wrap in plastic wrap before refrigerating. This helps the wrap keep its shape and stay together.

Notes

    • Use your favorite sandwich fixings. Swap out ingredients you like or have on hand.
    • When making ahead of time, don't add wet or juicy items. I only add tomatoes when I am going to eat the wrap right away. Otherwise, it tends to make the wrap soggy.
    • Don't overfill the wrap.
    • When filling the wrap, don't fill it all the way to the sides or the end. This makes a messy wrap and the ingredients tend to spill out.
Substitutions and Variations:
  • Use mayonnaise or hummus in place of the cream cheese mixture
  • Use ham, roast beef, pastrami or salami
  • Select your favorite variety of cheese
  • Omit bacon
  • Use sprouts instead of microgreens
  • Use any type of lettuce
  • Add additional veggies - thinly sliced bell peppers, cucumbers or tomatoes
  • If using tomatoes, it's best to eat right away or the wrap may become soggy

    I used a cream cheese/chive spread, then turkey, Colby cheese, bacon, diced tomato, and lettuce. I rolled them tightly, wrapped them in plastic, and refrigerated them as instructed. However, when I went to slice them, the inside ingredients just fell out the ends. I was forced to cut them into 3-1/2" chunks, which won't be as easy to eat. They were also about 2-1/2 to 3" around. They were meant to be appetizers, so that was a bummer. I didn't shred the lettuce. I used larger pieces of romaine. Not sure if that was the problem. The flavor was very good though.

      Hi Laurie,
      The larger pieces of lettuce could have caused the problem. Everything else sounds perfect. I do try to make certain the cream cheese is right at the outside end of the tortillas to help hold everything in place. It really is the glue.

    Thinking of adding these to my menu for a party. Am I able to make them with the bacon and place in the refrigerator overnight? I'm thinking the bacon will not be crisp for the next day. Do you agree? Probably should just make in the morning and leave out?

      Hi Lori,
      These are perfect for a party! I do agree with you, making the day before will make them a bit soggy. You can make them in the morning and refrigerate until it's party time. To help save some time in the morning, you can have all your ingredients ready and then just assemble the wraps.
      Enjoy!
      Kathy 🙂

    These wraps look amazing, Kathy! You nailed these for sure. And I also love using flavored wraps for recipes like this. I love the idea of getting different flavors and putting them all on the same plate, though. Great idea! And perfect for quick and easy lunches. I'm totally craving one of these now! 🙂
