These Rainbow Turkey Roll Ups are vibrant, healthy, and quick-to-make wraps perfect for a light lunch or appetizer. Featuring a colorful medley of fresh veggies, creamy reduced fat cream cheese, and lean deli turkey rolled into low calorie tortillas, they offer a nutritious and delicious meal option packed with flavor and texture.

Ingredients

Wraps

  • 4 8-inch low calorie flour tortillas (we used Mission Carb Balance Spinach Herb tortillas)

Spread

  • 2/3 cup 1/3 reduced fat cream cheese spread

Protein

  • 8 slices deli turkey

Vegetables

  • 1/2 cup thinly sliced red bell pepper strips
  • 1/2 cup matchstick carrots
  • 1/2 cup thinly sliced yellow bell pepper strips
  • 1/2 cup baby spinach leaves
  • 1/2 cup shredded purple cabbage

Instructions

  1. Spread cream cheese: Using a butter knife or a pliable spatula, spread one-quarter of the cream cheese thinly and evenly onto one tortilla, spreading all the way to the edges. Repeat this step with the remaining three tortillas.
  2. Assemble filling: Place two slices of deli turkey onto one side of each cream cheese-spread tortilla. Then add approximately 2 tablespoons each of the red bell pepper, carrots, yellow bell pepper, baby spinach, and shredded purple cabbage in stripes along the tortilla, leaving a 1-inch border at the edge to prevent filling from squeezing out when rolled.
  3. Roll up: Gently but firmly roll each tortilla up from the filled side, keeping the roll tight to hold the ingredients together. Secure rolls if needed.
  4. Slice and serve: Cut each rolled tortilla crosswise into pinwheels about 3/4-inch thick for appetizers or thicker 1 1/2-inch slices for more filling pinwheel sandwiches.
  5. Store or serve: Serve immediately for the freshest taste or refrigerate in an airtight container for later use. These roll ups are best enjoyed within a day for optimal freshness.

Notes

  • Use a pliable spatula or butter knife to avoid tearing the tortillas while spreading the cream cheese.
  • For variety, swap deli turkey with turkey breast or chicken slices.
  • Keep the vegetable strips thin and uniform for easier rolling and presentation.
  • These roll ups are ideal for party appetizers, quick lunches, or healthy snack options.
  • Store leftovers tightly wrapped in plastic wrap or tightly sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
