These Turkey and Cheese Roll Ups are a delicious and healthy snack or light meal option, featuring whole grain tortillas filled with a creamy mixture of cream cheese, shredded cheddar, grated carrots, and yogurt, layered with fresh spinach and tender deli turkey. Perfectly chilled to hold their shape, these roll ups are easy to prepare and packed with flavor and nutrition.

Ingredients

Wrap and Filling

  • 2 10 inch whole grain tortillas (150g)
  • ¼ cup cream cheese, softened (70g)
  • ¼ tsp garlic powder
  • ¼ tsp onion powder
  • ⅛ tsp black pepper
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded (60g)
  • 2 medium carrots, grated (115g)
  • 2 tbsp plain yogurt (40g)

Additional Fillings

  • 6 slices deli turkey meat (106g)
  • 1 cup spinach (40g)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, shredded cheddar cheese, grated carrots, and plain yogurt. Mix thoroughly until a smooth, spreadable mixture forms.
  2. Spread the Filling on Tortillas: Divide the cream cheese mixture evenly, placing half in the center of each tortilla. Using a knife, spread the mixture evenly across the tortilla surface, leaving about an inch clear around the edges to help with rolling.
  3. Add Turkey and Spinach: Place ½ cup of fresh spinach and 3 slices of deli turkey on top of the cream cheese mixture on each tortilla, distributing evenly.
  4. Roll and Slice: Carefully and tightly roll each tortilla from one edge to the other, ensuring the fillings stay contained. Using a sharp knife, slice each rolled tortilla into 6 smaller, bite-sized pieces.
  5. Chill for Best Results: For optimal texture and to help the roll ups hold together, wrap each roll tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving. This step is optional if you prefer to eat immediately, but chilling improves firmness.

Notes

  • Using whole grain tortillas adds fiber and nutrients to this recipe.
  • Chilling the roll ups helps the cream cheese filling set, making them easier to slice and eat.
  • You can substitute deli turkey with chicken or ham for variety.
  • Add herbs like dill or chives to the cream cheese mixture to enhance flavor.
  • These roll ups can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
