Turkey Pin Wheels

These simple turkey pin wheels are a great sandwich alternative.  Typically pin wheels are made with flour tortillas, but this recipe uses whole wheat bread instead.

Ingredients:

8 slices of whole wheat bread
6 tablespoons of cream cheese
3 teaspoons of packaged taco seasoning
1 cup of shredded cheese (cheddar, marble or a tex mex blend)
about 100 grams of sliced turkey

Optional:
I like to add some chopped pickled jalapeno peppers for those who like a bit of a kick.

Directions:

Mix the taco seasoning with the cream cheese in a bowl until well incorporated.  Cut the crusts off the slices of bread and flatten the bread with your hand.  Then add an even layer of cream cheese onto the bread.  Sprinkle some cheese on 3/4 of the bread and place some turkey on top of the cheese.  Now roll the bread starting at the edge where the cheese and turkey are.  Once you have a log shape, slice the log into 6 pieces.  This recipe makes 48 little pin wheels.
