Yield Makes 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 large whole-wheat wrap (11 to 12 inches), or 2 smaller wraps (8 inches), or a 12-by 9-inch rectangular lavosh
1 tablespoon mayonnaise
1 lightly packed handful rinsed baby spinach leaves
1 tablespoon dried cranberries
2 medium carrots, ends cut off, peeled and coarsely shredded
2 slices Swiss cheese, such as Jarlsburg (2 ounces)
2 thin slices store-bought roasted turkey breast (2 ounces)

Steps:

  • If necessary, warm the wrap in a 350°F oven for 2 minutes to soften before filling.
  • Lay the wrap on a work surface and spread the mayonnaise all over. Sprinkle the spinach leaves, cranberries, and carrots evenly on top. Arrange the Swiss cheese and turkey in even layers over the vegetable layer. Fold in the side edges and then roll up snugly from the bottom.
  • Cut crosswise into 4 even pieces and wrap tightly in plastic.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh turkey, vegetables, and herbs will give your pinwheels the best flavor.
  • Don't overcook the turkey: Overcooked turkey will be dry and tough. Cook it until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Shred the turkey finely: This will make it easier to spread on the tortillas.
  • Use a variety of fillings: Don't just stick to turkey and cheese. Try adding other ingredients like roasted vegetables, chopped nuts, or dried fruit.
  • Get creative with your toppings: A dollop of sour cream, a sprinkle of chopped parsley, or a drizzle of hot sauce can really take your pinwheels to the next level.
  • Serve immediately: Turkey pinwheels are best served fresh and warm. If you're making them ahead of time, store them in the refrigerator and reheat them before serving.

Conclusion:

Turkey pinwheels are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. They're perfect for parties, potlucks, or just a quick bite to eat. With endless variations, you can easily customize them to your liking. So next time you have some leftover turkey, don't just make a sandwich. Try making turkey pinwheels instead!
