These Fresh Turkey Cream Cheese Pinwheel Roll-Ups combine tender turkey, creamy seasoned cream cheese, and crunchy veggie confetti for a quick, wholesome, and colorful snack perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces deli-sliced turkey breast, thinly sliced (preferably low-sodium, nitrate-free)
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened (full-fat recommended)
  • ½ cup finely diced fresh bell peppers (red, yellow, or orange)
  • ¼ cup grated carrot
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped green onions
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley or dill
  • Pinch of salt
  • Pinch of pepper
  • ½ teaspoon lemon zest (optional)

Instructions

  1. Finely dice half a cup of bell peppers, grate a quarter cup of carrot, and chop two tablespoons of green onions into small, uniform pieces.
  2. In a medium bowl, soften 4 ounces of cream cheese until smooth. Stir in chopped parsley or dill, salt, pepper, and optional lemon zest. Taste and adjust seasoning.
  3. Fold the veggie confetti gently but thoroughly into the cream cheese mixture.
  4. Arrange turkey slices slightly overlapping on a clean surface to form an 8×10 inch rectangle.
  5. Spread the cream cheese and veggie mixture evenly over the turkey layer, leaving about half an inch clear on the edges.
  6. Starting from one short end, roll the turkey slices tightly into a log using plastic wrap underneath to help guide and keep it snug.
  7. Wrap the roll-up in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to firm up.
  8. Remove the wrap and slice into ½ inch thick pinwheels with a sharp knife.
  9. Arrange pinwheels on a platter and serve immediately or keep chilled until serving.

Notes

Keep veggie pieces small and dry to avoid soggy filling. Use a fresh, sharp knife to slice pinwheels cleanly. Chill roll-ups before slicing to maintain shape. Soften cream cheese at room temperature or briefly in microwave for easier spreading. Optional: add Dijon mustard or minced garlic to cream cheese for extra flavor. Store wrapped in refrigerator up to 2 days; do not freeze.
