Description
Enjoy these festive Pilgrim Pinwheels—a simple, flavorful holiday appetizer with turkey, stuffing, and cranberry wrapped in soft tortillas.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 whole wheat soft taco tortillas
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- ¾ cup Stove Top stuffing, prepared according to package directions
- ¼ cup cranberry sauce
- 1 cup cooked turkey breast, thinly sliced
Instructions
- Prepare the Spread:
In a medium bowl, mix the softened cream cheese and mayonnaise until smooth and fully blended. This will act as the binding layer for the fillings. - Layer the Tortillas:
Lay each tortilla flat on a clean work surface. Spread a thin but even layer of the cream cheese mixture over the entire tortilla, ensuring the edges are covered. - Add the Stuffing:
Spoon the prepared stuffing onto each tortilla and gently press it down. Aim for a thin layer so the tortillas remain easy to roll. - Spread the Cranberry Sauce:
Add small dollops of cranberry sauce on top of the stuffing and spread lightly. This adds sweetness and moisture. - Add Turkey Slices:
Lay the sliced turkey breast evenly across each tortilla, ensuring you get meat in every bite. - Roll the Tortillas:
Starting from one end, roll the tortillas tightly into a log shape. Apply slight pressure to keep all ingredients compact. - Chill the Rolls:
Place the rolled tortillas in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. Chilling firms them up for cleaner slicing. - Slice and Serve:
Using a sharp knife, slice each roll into 1-inch pinwheels. Arrange on a platter and serve chilled or at room temperature.
Notes
For cleaner cuts, use a serrated knife.
If the tortillas crack, they may be too cold—microwave them briefly to soften.
Leftover turkey works perfectly, but deli turkey can also be substituted.
For a lighter version, use reduced-fat cream cheese or Greek yogurt in place of mayonnaise.
