Turkey Pinwheels #SundaySupper

Hi Everyone,

Today for #SundaySupper we are sharing back to school recipes.   As a kid I used to love going back to school, you get new clothes, school supplies and of course you get to see your friends.  But one thing I didn’t care for was lunch.  You know what I had for lunch from 1st grade to 6th grade?  This is going to sound so gross, but I used to have a bologna sandwich with butter served on Wonder Bread.  Talk about sticking to the roof of your mouth.  Yuck gross!  To this day I won’t touch bologna.  It’s just yucky to me.  So today I am sharing with you a recipe I wish I could have had for lunch which is Turkey Pinwheels.

This isn’t your ordinary Turkey Pinwheels but it is made with cheddar cheese, turkey and tomatoes. It kind of tastes like a quesadilla with turkey. Yum! Normal pinwheels are made with cream cheese, but I thought if you were to give this to your kids for lunch the cream cheese may not be very good and I wouldn’t want to risk my kids getting sick and besides cheddar cheese rocks.

To make the Turkey Pinewheels its supper simple. I took a flour tortilla, sprinkled it with my cheese and microwaved it for 45 seconds. The cheese is perfectly melted. Then I topped it with turkey and tomatoes, rolled it up and I let it sit for a minute. Letting it sit, makes the cheese hold the tortilla together. Then I took a pizza cutter sliced it into 5 pieces. Perfect!
