Ingredients
  

  • 8 slices turkey slices preferably thinly sliced and smoked
  • 4 oz cheddar cheese sharp or milder, shredded
  • 2 tablespoons cream cheese softened for easy spreading
  • 1/4 cup chopped spinach fresh or optional
  • 4 small flour tortillas warmed slightly before rolling
  • 1 pinch black pepper optional, for seasoning
  • 1 pinch paprika optional, for flavor and color
  • 2 teaspoons butter melted butter for brushing

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Sharp knife
  • Small bowl
  • Baking brush

Method
 

  1. Lay out the turkey slices on a clean surface, overlapping slightly if needed, to create a flat layer for spreading.
  2. Spread about a teaspoon of softened cream cheese evenly over each slice, covering the surface with a thin layer.
  3. Sprinkle a little chopped spinach, black pepper, and paprika over the cream cheese for added flavor and color.
  4. Place a generous handful of shredded cheddar cheese on top of each slice, ensuring it covers most of the surface.
  5. Starting from one edge, carefully roll each turkey slice tightly into a bundle, pressing gently to keep the filling inside.
  6. Arrange the rolled-up bundles seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them out evenly.
  7. Brush the tops of the roll-ups lightly with melted butter to promote a crispy, golden exterior during baking.
  8. Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C (390°F) for about 15-20 minutes, until the cheese is bubbling and the outside is slightly crispy and golden.
  9. Remove from oven and let rest for 3-5 minutes, allowing the cheese to set slightly and making them easier to serve.
  10. Slice each roll-up diagonally if desired, revealing the cheesy, savory filling inside, and serve warm with your favorite sides.
