Ingredients
  

4 large whole grain tortillas

8 oz cream cheese, softened to room temperature

1 tsp Dijon mustard

12 oz sliced turkey breast (deli-style or freshly roasted)

1 large apple, thinly sliced (a tart variety like Granny Smith works best)

1 cup fresh baby spinach leaves

½ cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Optional: Honey or balsamic glaze for drizzling

Instructions
 

Prepare the Cream Cheese Spread: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and Dijon mustard. Using a spatula or a whisk, mix until the ingredients are smooth and fully blended. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.

    Prep the Tortillas: On a clean, flat surface, lay out the whole grain tortillas. Using a spatula, spread an even layer of the cream cheese mixture over each tortilla, making sure to leave a small border (about 1/2 inch) around the edges for easy rolling.

      Add the Fillings: On top of each cream cheese-covered tortilla, evenly distribute the turkey breast slices. Layer on the apple slices, followed by the fresh baby spinach leaves. Finish by sprinkling the shredded sharp cheddar cheese generously over the spinach layer.

        Roll the Tortillas: Starting from one end, carefully roll each tortilla tightly to form a pinwheel. Be mindful to keep all the fillings inside as you roll. Repeat this rolling process for each tortilla until all are prepared.

          Slice the Pinwheels: Once all the tortillas are rolled, use a sharp knife to slice each roll into 1-inch wide pieces. Arrange the pinwheels neatly on a serving platter for an appealing presentation.

            Serve and Enjoy: For an added burst of flavor, drizzle honey or balsamic glaze over the pinwheels before serving. They can be enjoyed immediately or chilled in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours, allowing the flavors to enhance.
