    Turkey Bacon Ranch Pinwheels are a crowd-pleasing, five-minute prep appetizer. My kids gobbled these easy turkey pinwheels up when I made them for a party recently. They have a lot of flavor with only a little bit of effort. This easy recipe is low carb, keto, gluten-free, grain-free, sugar-free, and Trim Healthy Mama friendly.

    Free Guide! Feed a Family on a Low Carb Diet

    In this free 5-day email series learn all my tips for incorporating a low-carb lifestyle into the life of your family.

    I am not a football fan. At all. I tried for a while to watch football with my husband when we were newly married but it's just not my thing. I came to realize it's ok to have different interests and hobbies. I don't need to be a super-duper Giants fan to have a good marriage.

    What I will do is make plenty of snacks for the rest of my family to enjoy during football games. The kitchen is my happy place. Much more than sitting on the couch watching football.

    When I saw this video floating around Facebook recently I knew I wanted to make my own version of turkey pinwheels. I'm not a big fan of salami or those jarred peppers so I went with a turkey ranch version instead. My trick for recreating ranch flavor is to use garlic, onion, and dill. I really think dill is the quintessential ranch flavor.

    Bacon & Ranch

    This is one of my favorite flavor combos if you haven't realized. I have just a few bacon ranch recipes already. Bacon Ranch Chicken Casserole, Bacon Ranch Cheddar Chicken Salad, Bacon Ranch Cheddar Broccoli Salad, and Bacon Wrapped Chicken Tenders with Ranch Dip. You can have an entire bacon ranch flavored meal.

    How to Make Turkey Pinwheels

    Make sure to check out the video of this in action!

    First Step:

    Roll cream cheese flat between 2 layers of plastic wrap. Remove the top layer. Add turkey. Flip over the whole thing onto new plastic wrap so the turkey is on the bottom and peel off the top plastic wrap from the flattened cream cheese.

    Second Step:

    Add seasonings. I use a homemade blend of spices to flavor this like ranch.

    Expert Tip: You do not need a packet of ranch salad dressing mix. These herbs and spices give a ranch flavor without all the additives. All you need for that ranch flavor is onion, garlic, and dill!

    Third Step:

    Add some shredded cheddar and cooked crumbled bacon on top of the cream cheese and seasonings.

    Fourth Step:

    Roll up the turkey cheese pinwheels. Roll up some more. Wrap with the plastic wrap that was underneath the roll-up.

    Chill for at least 2 hours. Slice and serve!

    Some other nice easy turkey pinwheel recipes are:

    Chipotle Turkey: Mix a little chipotle puree into the cream cheese before spreading it. Omit the dill.

    Cranberry Herb: Mix a little cranberry sauce into the cream cheese before spreading it. Swap out the dill for sage and omit the garlic, bacon, and cheddar cheese.

    Blue Cheese & Tomato: Sub in blue cheese crumbles for the cheddar cheese. Omit the dill.

    How to Serve Turkey Pinwheels

    I sliced these about one inch thick and serve on cucumber slices. You can serve on low carb crackers if you prefer.

    Can I use ham? Or salami? Or roast beef?

    Yup! You can sub in any deli meat of your choice. You can also swap out the seasonings, type of cheese, and even the bacon if you want.

    Instructions

    • Put the cream cheese between 2 pieces of plastic wrap. Roll it out until it's about ¼ inch thick. Peel off the top piece of plastic wrap. Lay the slices of turkey on top of the cream cheese.
    • Cover with a new piece of plastic wrap and flip the whole thing over. Peel off the piece of plastic that is now on the top. Sprinkle the spices on top of the cream cheese. Sprinkle with the bacon and cheese.
    • Roll up the pinwheels so that the turkey is on the outside. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Slice into 12 pieces and serve on top of low carb crackers or sliced cucumber.

    Notes

    Substitutions
    Meat - Any type of deli meat and shredded cheese work in this recipe.
    Herbs - Fresh dill can be subbed in for the dried dill weed. Basil tastes great instead of dill as well!

      How do you keep the cream cheese from sticking to be able to flip over?

        It doesn't stick to plastic wrap if it's cold. You can just peel the plastic off.

          Sorry , I meant sticking on the counter surface?

          You put plastic wrap down. It doesn't go directly on the countertop. Please watch the video. It's easier to see this in action.

        Sure. Just make sure to use low carb tortillas if that is important to you.
