This recipe has been tucked away in my files for years, and I'd forgotten how much we love these turkey pinwheels. These are perfect for your football-watching parties, tailgates, or as an appetizer at a Bunco group!
Please note that these pinwheels do require making ahead at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.
This recipe was created by a family friend in Jackson, Mississippi, and I have adapted it to our taste.
Turkey Pinwheels
Cream cheese spread:
8 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled (reserve 2 crumbled slices for garnish)
1/4 cup green onion, chopped fine
1-8 oz package cream cheese, softened
2 T. mayonnaise
1/2 t. garlic salt
---------------------
Four 10-inch Garden Spinach tortilla wraps (green in color, Mission brand)
30 fresh spinach leaves, cleaned with stems removed
10 slices smoked deli turkey @ 1 oz. each...I asked for #2 on the slice chart at deli counter
8 oz shredded Velveeta cheese (can buy pkg, already shredded)
Salsa for serving
Saran Wrap
Cook bacon in microwave until crisp. Crumble very small.
In mixer, beat cream cheese, mayonnaise, and garlic salt together. Add crumbled bacon and chopped green onion. Combine well. If needed, add a teaspoon or so of milk to achieve an easy spreading consistency.
To begin assembling the wrap, use a flat spatula to spread 4 T. of the cream cheese mixture evenly over entire surface of each tortilla.
Sprinkle 1/3 cup Velveeta cheese onto cream cheese mixture.
Arrange 7 or 8 spinach leaves over cheese, keeping spinach about 1/2 inch away from the side/bottom edges and two inches from the top of tortilla.
Layer two turkey slices over the spinach, also keeping turkey 1/2 inch away from side/bottom edges and two inches from the top of tortilla.
Roll tortilla up tightly from the bottom toward the top. The filling may move up as you roll, but the extra two inches should allow for it.
Fold these open ends down.
Secure each rolled tortilla tightly in Saran Wrap.
Repeat with remaining tortillas.
Refrigerate four hours or overnight.
Unwrap tortilla rolls and slice with a very sharp knife into 1-inch slices.
Arrange pinwheels on a platter and garnish with remaining crumbled bacon for extra color.
Serve with salsa.
Yield: About 32 pinwheels.
Enjoy!
