Turkey Nut Butter Pinwheel     Print this Recipe

Comments

This spread is delicious so make extra and refrigerate or freeze for later.  You can even use it as a dip for pretzels, celery, carrot sticks, or other veggies!  Don't forget the parsley and paprika flakes. Both herbs are potent sources for Vit. A and potassium. They don’t add taste, but they do add the antioxidant colors, green and red to this recipe!

Equipment

Food processor, knife

Prep Time

15 minutes

Number of Servings

1-2 depending on ages

Instructions

  1. 2 Tbsp all natural nut or seed butter

  2. 2 Tbsp almond milk, unsweetened

  3. 2 tsp extra virgin olive oil

  4. 1/2 tsp teriyaki sauce

  5. 1/8 tsp minced garlic, or less if desired

    Place in food processor. Blend until creamy.
  6. 1 Tortilla - whole grain, sprouted grain, or gluten-free

  7. 2 Tbsp nut butter spread (recipe above)

    Coat tortilla with nut butter spread.
  8. 2 slices chicken breast, plain roasted (additive-free)

  9. Parsley flakes

  10. Paprika

    Place chicken on top of spread, leaving about 1 inch of tortilla exposed at top. Sprinkle lightly with parsley and paprika.
  11. 1 leaf Romaine lettuce

    Place on top of chicken breast. Roll up tightly away from you and slice into 3/4 inch pinwheels. Hold together with toothpicks or cupcake picks if desired. Serve.

Options

Try with leftover cooked chicken instead of turkey.  Some kids want their pinwheels sliced into cross-sections giving them pop-it in their mouth appeal. Some want it to remain a whole roll that they can pick up and devour from end to end. Either way, it is fun finger food!
