About This Recipe

Let’s make lunch time more fun with these Meal Prep Turkey and Cheese Pinwheels! Sandwiches are delicious, but sometimes it’s nice to switch things up. I love that these pinwheels are bite-sized, making them perfect for on-the-go!

I filled my pinwheels with juicy turkey, cheese, and spinach. They were so delicious and kept me full and satisfied until dinner!

I love how perfect these pinwheels are for meal prep! They hold up really well in the fridge so you can prep lunch a few days out. Just grab a tortilla and your favorite cold cuts and get ready to roll!

I love serving these pinwheels with a side of fruit salad and pretzels! Or, make some of my favorite Healthy Macaroni Salad for the ultimate summer meal!

And if you have any left over turkey, I highly recommend you check out my Bacon Turkey Bravo for another easy lunch option!

P.S. These are totally kid approved! 😉

Why You’ll Love These Turkey and Cheese Pinwheels

  • They’re perfect for meal prep!
  • Such a fun and different twist on a normal sandwich.
  • They keep well in the refrigerator, making it easy to prep ahead.
  • Each bite is full of protein!
  • So easy & quick to make!

Ingredients and Substitutions

  • Tortilla – I used Flatout flatbread. I find the shape makes the pinwheels easier to roll, but any tortilla will work.
  • Laughing Cow cheese – The best cheese because it’s soft and spreadable! You could also use regular deli cheese or even shredded cheese.
  • Deli turkey – Boar’s Head is my favorite.
  • Spinach – All you need is a small handful. This is optional, but I find that the spinach adds a good crunch!
  • Sides for serving – I ate my pinwheels with pretzels and berries!

How To Make

The full printable recipe is below, but let me walk you through the process so you know what to expect when you’re making it!

Flatbread topped with turkey, spinach, and cheese before before being wrapped up.

1. Lay your flatbread or tortilla on a clean, flat surface. First, we’ll spread the cheese wedges on the flatbread. Make sure to spread it on the ENTIRE flatbread surface. Next, add the turkey to 2/3 of the tortilla, leaving about 1/3 of the tortilla with just the cheese spread. Then, add a small handful of spinach on top of the turkey.

2. Begin rolling the pinwheel from the meat covered side.

3. Use both hands and roll TIGHTLY. The greens may try to escape. Just use your fingers to tuck them in as you roll.

4. Cut the roll up into 5 pieces and place on a plate or add it to a container for meal prep. Serve with mixed berries and pretzels to complete the meal! 

How To Store

Prep up to 3 servings at once and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

FAQ: Turkey and Cheese Pinwheels

Do I need to make these pinwheels with turkey and cheese?

Nope! That’s just what I like to use. Feel free to switch up the protein or cheese!

What should I serve with these pinwheels?

I enjoyed mine with a side of pretzels and berries. I think some pasta or potato salad, chips, sliced apples or freshly cut veggies would also be good options!

Is this a kid friendly recipe?

100%, they love them! You can easily omit the spinach if you wish and really they are totally versatile if you wanted to switch things up! Making them with your kids would be fun, too!

Could I serve these pinwheels warm?

I haven’t tried, but I don’t see why not. I think they’d probably taste best warmed slightly in a panini press. OR throw those babies in an air fryer! 😍
