Easy Turk’y and Cheese Pinwheels

These pinwheels make the perfect appetizer or game day snack. These Easy Turk’y and Cheese Pinwheels also make a fantastic light lunch. They are so flavorful and creamy. These days, I do appreciate all the vegan brands that are available for us nowadays. For this recipe, I used Tofurky brand, Miyoko’s Cheese Spread (Roadhouse Cheddar), Violife Smoked Provolone, and Follow Your Heart Vegenaise. All these brands made this recipe possible. Definitely try this one and you will crave more. These are bursting with flavor. Enjoy!

I made these Easy Turk’y Pinwheels as one of our game day appetizers. It was just the two of us this past Super Bowl 2025. So, I used only three tortillas, which made about 24 pinwheels. This recipe makes enough of the cheddar spread that could easily make up to 35-40 pinwheels. Since I only made 24 pinwheels, I had some leftover spread, which I refrigerated for later use.

To make the 24 pinwheels I used one pack of the Tofurky brand Turk’y. The package contains about 15 slices, and the serving size is typically five slices. I then used six slices of the Violife Smoked Provolone total. I used two slices per tortilla. Also, I used about three pieces of the Bibb Lettuce per tortilla. So, for the ingredients list below, I purpose did not measure out the Turk’y and Cheese slices. But you can double the amount noted for the 24 pinwheels in order to use all of the spread.

Can I just pause real quick to celebrate our Philadelphia Eagles!! E-A-G-L-E-S!! We won! What a game. I genuinely feel like they played the perfect game yesterday.

Rolling:

When rolling the pinwheels, leave about an inch or so of spread from the edge you are rolling towards. As you roll, the filling will spread and some may come out. Also, you do not want to overfill these Easy Turk’y Pinwheels with the meat, cheese, or lettuce.

After preparing these you can wrap them in plastic wrap or parchment paper before placing them in the refrigerator. Refrigerate for one or two hours (or longer if you wish to make these ahead). At minimum, I would refrigerate for an hour to allow the pinwheels to set before slice.

Slicing:

When you are ready to slice, I typically cut off the rough end first to make them even. These are my pieces, can’t let them go to waste! After cutting off the ends, I then cut the center. Then continue dividing each center until I have about 1-inch pieces. Check out the pictures or my video to see what I mean! I really hope you try these Easy Turk’y Pinwheels. Enjoy!

Ingredients:

1 (8oz container) Miyoko’s Cheese Spread/Roadhouse Cheddar

1/4 Cup Hoagie Spread (Cherry Pepper)

1/4 Cup Vegenaise

1 Fresh Yellow or Orange Pepper, diced finely

Large/Burrito-sized Flour Tortillas

Tofurky Turk’y Deli Slices

Violife Smoked Provolone

Butter Bibb Lettuce

To make 24 pinwheels, I used the following quantities:

3 Large/Burrito-sized Flour Tortillas

1 pack of Tofurky Turk’y (15 slices)

6 slices of Violife Smoked Provolone Cheese

9 pieces of Butter Bibb Lettuce

-Cover and store any unused spread in a container and use within three days.

Directions:

-In a medium bowl, add the Miyoko’s Cheese Spread, Hoagie Spread, and Vegenaise.

-Mix together to combine with a hand mixer. Then, add the fresh chopped yellow peppers and mix again.

-Next, add a couple of tablespoons of the cheese spread to your flour tortilla. Be sure to leave a couple of inches off the edge. This is the edge you will be rolling towards, as the filling tends to seep out as you roll.

-Layer in your ingredients. I start with the lettuce, then add the Turk’y slices followed by the Smoked Provolone.

-Next, roll the flour tortilla up tightly. Then wrap the rolled tortilla in either plastic wrap or parchment paper. Refrigerate for one to two hours.

-When you are ready to serve, unroll the tortilla and cut off the rough, uneven ends. Just enough to make them even.

-Then, cut the entire tortilla in half. Next, cut each of those halved sections in half again until you end up with about 1-inch pieces. -Check out the video!

-Enjoy!
