These Turkey Cranberry Pinwheels transform simple ingredients into a truly addictive finger food that’s as beautiful as it is delicious.

Ingredients

  • 2 flour tortillas
  • 8 ounces cream cheese
  • 1 cup dried cranberries
  • 2 tablespoons fresh chives
  • 8 ounces deli turkey slices
  • 4 ounces Havarti cheese
  • 1 cup romaine lettuce
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper

Instructions

  1. Soften the cream cheese in a medium bowl, then stir in the chopped dried cranberries and chives. Season with salt and pepper, mixing until everything is well combined.
  2. Lay a flour tortilla on a clean work surface and spread about 2-3 tablespoons of the cream cheese mixture evenly across the tortilla, leaving about half an inch around the edges bare.
  3. Arrange turkey slices in a single layer on top of the cream cheese, slightly overlapping the pieces to create a solid layer of meat.
  4. Place thin slices of Havarti cheese over the turkey, then top with a single layer of romaine lettuce leaves that have been patted completely dry.
  5. Starting from one edge, tightly roll the tortilla, applying gentle pressure as you go. The cream cheese mixture will act as a “glue” to hold everything together.
  6. Wrap the roll tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  7. Using a sharp knife, cut the chilled roll into 1-inch pinwheels.
  8. Arrange your Turkey Cranberry Pinwheels on a serving platter and serve immediately or keep chilled until ready to enjoy.
