Sun-Dried Tomato and Feta Turkey Pinwheels
Creamy herbed cheese, tangy sun-dried tomatoes, and peppery arugula rolled into tender turkey wraps-a lunchbox favourite with bold Mediterranean flavours.
Ingredients
- 4 pieces whole wheat tortillas (10-inch)
- 0,75 cup cream cheese, softened
- 0,5 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 0,33 cup sun-dried tomatoes in oil, drained and chopped
- 250 g smoked turkey slices
- 1 cup baby arugula
- 2 tbsp fresh basil, chopped
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- 1 tsp extra-virgin olive oil
Instructions
- 1
In a small bowl, combine the cream cheese, minced garlic, chopped basil, and lemon zest. Whisk with a fork until smooth and spreadable, about 1 minute.
- 2
Fold the crumbled feta and finely chopped sun-dried tomatoes into the cream cheese mixture until evenly distributed.
- 3
Lay a whole wheat tortilla flat on a clean cutting board. Spread about 3 tbsp of the cheese mixture edge-to-edge in a thin, even layer.
- 4
Arrange 3 slices of smoked turkey over the cheese, overlapping slightly to cover the surface.
- 5
Scatter a small handful of baby arugula across the turkey, then drizzle with a few drops of extra-virgin olive oil for richness.
- 6
Starting from one edge, roll the tortilla tightly into a firm log, pressing gently as you go to keep the filling snug.
- 7
Wrap each roll tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes to firm up-this ensures clean slices.
- 8
Unwrap and, using a sharp serrated knife, trim the ends and slice each log into 6 pinwheels about 1 inch (2.5 cm) thick.
- 9
Arrange cut-side up on a platter or pack into a snack box with cucumber sticks.
Chef's tip
Chill the rolled logs for at least 20 minutes before slicing-this sets the cream cheese and lets you cut clean, photogenic pinwheels without the filling squishing out.
Suggested pairing
Serve alongside crunchy cucumber spears, cherry tomatoes, and a chilled sparkling lemon water.
