Ingredients and Alternatives
I love preparing easy recipes, meaning I keep the “fancy items” to a minimum. I’ve included sun-dried tomatoes in this recipe but you could very easily replace them with fresh tomatoes or roasted peppers in a jar.
- tortillas (plain flour, spinach, or tomato are options)
- thin, deli turkey slices
- hummus (plain, roasted garlic, or sun-dried tomato will work)
- cucumber
- sun-dried tomatoes (dried or in oil)
You will also need a serrated knife and a bit of plastic wrap or foil. I find wrapping and setting the rolls helps them stay together better and keep their distinct pinwheel look.
How to Make Turkey and Hummus Pinwheels
Keep this page open and follow along with the steps and helpful images. Below you will find a printable version of this recipe.
Dice the cucumber and sun-dried tomatoes into small pieces. This will help to get them into each and every bite.
Lay out each tortilla and spread with hummus, dividing the hummus amongst all.
Add 4 slices of turkey meat to each tortilla, spreading them out evenly to all of the edges so when it is rolled, it is included in each bite.
Divide the diced cucumber and diced sun-dried tomatoes amongst the tortillas evenly, sprinkling them atop the hummus.
Roll each tortilla tightly into a log and secure each with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for about an hour to allow the flavors to marry and the roll to stiffen.
Remove the plastic wrap and cut each tortilla into 6 slices using a serrated knife. You can add a toothpick into each roll to make plating and serving easier.

Notes
These pinwheels can be made up to one hour in advance. They do not store well.
Tortilla Substitutions / Serving Size Adjustments:
- You can opt to swap the flour tortillas for spinach or even sun-dried tomato tortillas.
- If making for one, most of the time I use the Carb-Smart tortillas (fajita sized).
Hummus Substitutions / Serving Size Adjustments:
- If making for one, I will use one or two of the 2 oz, single-serving hummus packs.
- Swap the sun-dried tomatoes for a sun-dried hummus.
Sun-Dried Tomatoes
- If using tomatoes in oil, drain and pa dry before adding to the tortillas.
- If using dried tomatoes, you can reconstitute in warm water (30 minutes) or olive oil (overnight).
