Exact Ingredients List (+ Possible Substitutes)
I love making turkey roll ups with whole grain tortillas. They’re easy to prepare and perfect for a quick lunch. Here’s what you’ll need:
- 2 10-inch whole grain tortillas
- 1/4 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 medium carrots, grated
- 2 tablespoons plain yogurt
- 6 slices of deli turkey
- 1/2 cup spinach
- Swap whole grain tortillas for gluten-free ones
- Use dairy-free cream cheese and yogurt for a lactose-free option
- Replace cheddar cheese with Swiss, Havarti, or Mozzarella
- Substitute deli turkey with ham, roast beef, or salami
These ingredients combine to create a delicious, nutritious wrap. The cream cheese adds creaminess, while the cheddar cheese brings a sharp flavor. Deli turkey provides protein, and spinach adds a fresh, crisp texture. Mix it up and find your favorite combination!
Instructions
Let’s make those tasty Turkey Roll Ups! First, I get a mixing bowl and put in cream cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, cheddar cheese, grated carrots, and yogurt. This mix makes a yummy cream cheese filling.
Then, I spread half of this tasty mix on each tortilla. I make sure to cover the whole surface, but leave a little edge. After that, I add a quarter cup of fresh spinach and three slices of deli turkey on top.
Rolling is the fun part! I roll each tortilla up tightly so the filling doesn’t come out. To make it easier to slice later, I wrap each roll in plastic and chill in the fridge for an hour.
Finally, I cut each roll into six pieces. Now, we have perfectly sized Turkey Roll Ups, ready to eat!
Tip: If you’re short on time, you can skip the chilling step. The roll-ups will still taste great, but might be a bit messier to eat.
- Mix ingredients in a bowl
- Spread cream cheese filling on tortillas
- Add spinach and turkey
- Roll tortillas tightly
- Chill in fridge (optional)
- Slice and serve
Tips, Tricks & Storing
I love meal prep, and these turkey roll ups are perfect for it! For easy slicing, use whipped cream cheese. It spreads smoothly and evenly, making rolling easy.
When you assemble, roll your tortillas tightly to keep everything in place.
To get the best results, refrigerate your wrapped roll ups for at least an hour before slicing. This helps them hold their shape. For storage, use plastic wrap. Wrap them tightly or put them in an airtight container. Keep them in the fridge for up to 5 days.
Planning a party? Here’s a pro tip: use toothpicks in your roll ups to keep them together while serving. Your guests will love the easy-to-grab bites!
- Use whipped cream cheese for smooth spreading
- Roll tortillas tightly for best structure
- Chill for 1 hour before slicing
- Store in plastic wrap or airtight container
- Add toothpicks for party-friendly servings
With these tips, your turkey roll ups will be a hit every time. They’re great for quick lunches, picnics, or as a tasty snack. Happy rolling!
Recipe Variations & Serving Suggestions
I like to try new things with my turkey roll ups. Using different cheeses changes the taste. Swiss cheese tastes nutty, while Havarti is creamy. Pepper Jack adds a spicy kick.
Adding more veggies makes them healthier and tastier. Tomatoes add juiciness, cucumbers crunch, and avocado creaminess. Sometimes, I use flavored cream cheese or hummus for new flavors.
Dipping sauces make these roll ups even better. Ranch dressing is a favorite, but mustard adds a tangy zip. I also like serving them with quinoa salad or fresh fruit. Veggie sticks are another good choice for crunch.
At holidays, I make special turkey and stuffing roll ups with gravy. It’s like Thanksgiving in a bite! These changes keep the recipe exciting for any event or craving.
