Ingredients
  

  • 226.8 grams cream cheese, softened
  • 0.25 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • to taste salt and pepper
  • 4 large whole wheat or spinach tortillas
  • 340.2 grams sliced turkey breast (deli style)
  • 1 cup baby spinach or mixed greens
  • 0.5 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your choice)

Instructions
 

  • In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and butter. Use a hand mixer or a fork to mix until it’s smooth and creamy.
  • Add the chopped parsley, chives, thyme, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to the cream cheese-butter mixture. Stir until all ingredients are well incorporated.
  • Lay one tortilla flat on a clean work surface. Spread a generous layer of the herb butter mixture evenly over the tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges.
  • Layer slices of turkey breast evenly on top of the herb butter mixture, followed by a handful of baby spinach or mixed greens, and a sprinkle of shredded cheese.
  • Carefully roll the tortilla tightly from one side to the other, ensuring the filling stays inside. Once rolled, you can either secure it with a toothpick or wrap it tightly in plastic wrap to hold its shape.
  • Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas.
  • After all tortillas are rolled, slice each pinwheel into 1-inch thick pieces. Arrange them on a platter and serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.
