These easy turkey pinwheels with homemade ranch dip are the perfect cold lunch solution. Quick to assemble, packed with flavor, and ideal for meal prep, they feature a creamy ranch spread, tender turkey, fresh veggies, and cheese all rolled into a flour tortilla.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 (10-inch) flour tortillas
  • 8 ounces deli turkey slices (oven-roasted preferred)
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tablespoons buttermilk
  • 1 tablespoon ranch seasoning mix (or homemade blend of dried dill, parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper)
  • 1 cup fresh spinach leaves
  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • ½ red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • For the ranch dip: ½ cup sour cream
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon ranch seasoning mix
  • Optional: splash of buttermilk for thinner dip

Instructions

  1. Make the ranch spread: In a small mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, buttermilk, and ranch seasoning mix. Stir until smooth and fully combined. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  2. Prep the tortillas: Lay tortillas flat on a cutting board. If stiff, microwave for 10 seconds. Spread an even layer of ranch cream cheese mixture over each tortilla, covering edges.
  3. Layer the fillings: Place turkey slices over cream cheese, overlapping slightly. Scatter spinach leaves, then sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese. Arrange red bell pepper slices in a line down the center.
  4. Roll tightly: Starting at one edge, carefully roll tortilla into a tight log, tucking filling in as you go. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
  5. Chill: Refrigerate wrapped rolls for at least 30 minutes (or up to overnight) to firm up.
  6. Slice: Unwrap chilled rolls. Using a sharp serrated knife, slice each log into 1-inch thick pinwheels using a gentle sawing motion. Wipe knife clean between cuts.
  7. Make the ranch dip: In a small bowl, whisk together sour cream, mayonnaise, and ranch seasoning mix. Add a splash of buttermilk if desired for thinner consistency. Refrigerate until serving.
  8. Serve: Arrange pinwheels on a platter with ranch dip on the side. Serve cold or at room temperature.

Notes

Let cream cheese soften for 20 minutes before mixing for easy spreading. Chill rolls for at least 30 minutes for clean slices. Pat veggies dry to prevent sogginess. Store sliced pinwheels in an airtight container with parchment paper between layers for up to 4 days. Freeze unsliced logs for up to 2 months.
