Turkey Nut Butter Pinwheel     Print this Recipe

Comments

This spread is so delicious!  We recommend you 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. Both herbs are potent sources for Vitamin A and potassium. They don’t add much taste, but they do add antioxidant colors, green and red to this recipe!  A great recipe to use up leftover turkey or chicken!

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 (Suggested: Cashew Butter by Once Again)

  2. 2 Tbsp almond milk, unsweetened

  3. 2 tsp extra virgin olive oil

  4. 1/2 tsp teriyaki sauce (no corn syrup or artificial ingredients)

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

    Place in food processor. Blend until creamy.
  6. 2 Tortillas (whole grain, sprouted grain, or gluten free)

  7. 4 slices turkey breast, plain roasted (no added nitrates)

  8. Parsley flakes

  9. Paprika

    Coat each tortilla with 2 Tbs nut butter spread. Place sliced turkey on top of spread, leaving about 1 inch of tortilla exposed at top. Sprinkle lightly with parsley and paprika.
  10. 2 leaves Romaine lettuce

    Place on top of turkey. 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 or turkey.  Some kids want their pinwheels sliced giving them pop-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!
