Turkey Pinwheels

Turkey Pinwheels with cheddar, bacon, and ranch are an easy snack that’s perfect for a quick lunch, game day, holiday appetizers, and more.

Are you ready for some quick and easy recipes? With the holidays behind us, it is time to get back to the regular routine.

For us, that means doing a little prep at the start of the week so we have some quick grab-n-go snacks to keep us going throughout the day.

The first thing I do to prepare is head to my local Jewel store and pick up what I need for the week. In my plan for getting back on track, I made sure to pick up Hillshire Farm Ultra Thin Oven Roasted Turkey Breast, TortillaLand tortillas, Jimmy Dean Delights, and Tyson Grilled & Ready Chicken Breast Strips.

My local Jewel store is convenient, affordable, and allows for easy, stress-free shopping through the app and Diver Up & Go pick-up of my order.

As busy as life is here, I found that the only way we can all stay consistent with remembering to eat and choosing options that are better for us is to plan ahead and make snacks readily available for our grab-n-go lifestyle.

This is why I chose to make these delicious turkey pinwheels. The family loves having pinwheels and adding the cream cheese with cheddar, bacon, and ranch is a huge WIN.

I can also change it up and make Tyson Grilled & Ready Chicken Breast Strips, chop them up, and add it to the cheese mixture in place of the Hillshire Farm Ultra Thin Oven Roasted Turkey Breast for added variety.

Here are some commonly asked questions

Why choose TortillaLand tortillas?

• I grew up making homemade tortillas. I love TortillaLand tortillas because they take all the mess out of making them but give me all the wonderful flavor and texture I know and love without making them from scratch.
• TortillaLand tortillas are made without preservatives, contain no cholesterol and have 0 trans fats per serving.
• They are convenient and easy for me to cook – each one ready in 60 seconds.
• There’s nothing more delicious than a warm, freshly-cooked tortilla!
• They are super soft and have that wonderful stretch you get with a warm tortilla.

How many turkey pinwheels can I make?

Typically, you will get about 7 pinwheels from one tortilla roll if you are using the smaller, soft taco size tortillas. So, if you are making them for a party, you will likely need to make multiple rolls.

But this recipe is very versatile and can be adjusted to serve as many as you need. The cream cheese mixture listed here is enough for about 6 tortillas.

Can these be made with chicken instead of turkey?

Yes – making these pinwheels is easy with either the Tyson Grilled & Ready Chicken Breast Strips or the Hillshire Farm Ultra Thin Oven Roasted Turkey Breast. That’s what I love about these pinwheels – I can easily change up the ingredients and make them work for what I have.

What type of cream cheese should I use?

You can use either regular or neufchâtel cream cheese for this recipe. Neufchâtel cream cheese has about 1/3 the fat of regular cream cheese, so that is another option. However, both types will work well in this recipe.

What if I don’t have ranch seasoning?

The good news is that I have a recipe for homemade ranch here. But if you find that you don’t have ranch seasoning, you can mix together the following before getting started…

• 1/2 teaspoon each of dried parsley, dried Italian seasoning & garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon each of dried dill, celery salt

Ingredients for Turkey Pinwheels

• TortillaLand tortillas – soft taco size
• cream cheese – room temperature
• shredded cheddar cheese or Colby Jack
• real crumbled bacon or freshly cooked bacon- chopped
• fried onions
• milk
• parsley or minced chives
• ranch seasoning – just the dry powder
• granulated garlic – not garlic salt
• table salt
• pepper
• Hillshire Farm Ultra Thin Oven Roasted Turkey Breast

Are turkey pinwheels good for snacks or appetizers?

Both! They are perfect for snacks because they are small and easy to eat. And they are also great appetizers because they can be served at room temperature or cold.

How to Make Turkey Pinwheels

1. Cook the tortillas to the package directions. Set aside on a plate.
2. Combine the cream cheese, cheddar cheese, bacon crumbles, fried onions, milk, parsley, ranch seasoning, granulated garlic, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Mix well until completely combined.
3. Spread the mixture onto the fresh tortillas.
4. Top with 2 slices of deli turkey per tortilla.
5. Roll the tortillas tightly and then place them on a plate. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30-60 minutes for the cream cheese to firm up again.
6. Slice into 1″ thick rolls – discarding the ends or make those your “taste-testing” pieces to snack on while you work.
7. Arrange on a serving plate or platter. Keep refrigerated until ready to serve.
