Ingredients
  

For the Pinwheels
  • 4 large whole wheat tortillas
  • 8 ounces sliced deli turkey breast
  • 1 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt
  • 4 ounces reduced fat cream cheese, softened
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup baby spinach leaves
  • 1 cup finely shredded carrots
  • 1/2 cup finely diced red bell pepper

Method
 

  1. In a medium bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, cream cheese, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, and black pepper until smooth.
  2. Lay the tortillas flat on a clean work surface.
  3. Spread the yogurt mixture evenly over each tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges.
  4. Divide the turkey slices evenly among the tortillas.
  5. Top with spinach, shredded carrots, and diced red bell pepper.
  6. Roll each tortilla tightly into a log.
  7. Wrap each roll in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  8. Remove the wrap and slice each roll into 1-inch pinwheels.
  9. Arrange on a serving platter or pack into meal prep containers.

Notes

Chilling the rolls before slicing helps the pinwheels hold their shape and creates cleaner cuts for a more attractive presentation.
