Turkey Breast Pinwheels

Type: Poultry, Turkey
Serves: 1 people

Recipe Ingredients

12   Flour tortillas (large)
1   Cream cheese - soft
1/2 cup 99g / 3.5ozButter or margarine - soft
1/4 teaspoon 1.3mlFresh lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon 1.3mlGround white pepper
1 section  Fresh dill - or
  Dill pickles - cut thin
1   Moist smoked salmon - thinly sliced

Recipe Instructions

Mix together cream cheese, butter, pepper, and lemon juice. (I do this in the food processor). Spread the tortillas, one at a time, with this mixture. Lay the smoked salmon slices, slightly overlapping, over the cream cheese mixture, leaving one edge of the cream cheese uncovered (this acts as the "glue" to hold the tortilla together when rolled.) Lay fresh dill sprigs or dill pickle spears down one edge; starting with this edge, roll up tightly, "gluing" tortilla together at the end with the uncovered edge of cream cheese. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and chill, at least one hour or up to 24 hours. When ready to serve, unwrap and slice about 1/2" thick on a slight diagonal.

TURKEY BREAST PINWHEELS WITH SUN-DRIED TOMATO SPREAD Same as above, except substitute very thinly sliced turkey breast for the salmon, omit lemon juice from cream cheese mixture and add 1/4 cup oil packed sun-dried tomatoes, finely chopped; use watercress in place of dill.

You may have tortillas left over, use the amount of spread for each which gives a uniform covering with no tortilla showing through, but also not to thick!! If you like capers, they are wonderful added to the spread for the Salmon pinwheels.
