These light and satisfying turkey and cheese roll-ups are perfect for lunchboxes or meal prep. With a creamy spread, fresh spinach, and roasted red peppers, they’re quick to make and packed with flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 (8-inch) flour tortillas, room temperature
  • 6 oz light cream cheese, softened
  • 8 oz deli turkey breast, thinly sliced
  • 4 slices provolone cheese, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup fresh spinach leaves, washed and dried
  • 1/4 cup roasted red peppers, thinly sliced
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon honey
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Make the spread: In a small bowl, combine 2 oz softened cream cheese, Dijon mustard, honey, and garlic powder. Mix until smooth. Set aside.
  2. Prep your tortillas: Lay tortillas flat on a cutting board. If cold, microwave for about 10 seconds to make pliable.
  3. Spread the mixture: Spread about 1½ tablespoons of the cream cheese mixture evenly over each tortilla, leaving a half-inch border.
  4. Layer the turkey: Place 2-3 slices of turkey breast on each tortilla, overlapping slightly.
  5. Add the cheese: Lay one slice of provolone on top of the turkey.
  6. Add the veggies: Scatter a small handful of spinach leaves over the cheese, then add a few strips of roasted red pepper.
  7. Season lightly: Sprinkle a tiny pinch of salt and pepper over the filling.
  8. Roll it up: Starting from the edge closest to you, tightly roll the tortilla away from you, keeping even pressure. Press gently to seal.
  9. Wrap and chill: Wrap each roll tightly in plastic wrap or parchment paper. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  10. Slice and serve: Unwrap rolls and slice into 1-inch pinwheels using a serrated knife.

Notes

Don’t skip the chilling step—it helps the rolls hold their shape. Pat all ingredients dry to prevent sogginess. Use room temperature cream cheese for easy spreading. Slice with a serrated knife for clean cuts.
