A Brief History of Pinwheel Sandwiches

Pinwheels are just another kind of sandwich, but where and when was the idea to roll a sandwich instead of just slap two pieces of bread around fillings thought up? The pinwheel is an English creation dating back all the way to the 10th century. Back then, the English enjoyed pinwheel sandwiches as snacks that they paired with a hot cup of tea. According to history, these pinwheels were likened to the French canape. 

When these sandwiches were first invented, people use simple ingredients like butter or cream cheese as the filling and rolled them up with bread slices. Of course, over the centuries, more and more unique ingredients were tried for both the filling and the wrapping itself. Over time, people created all kinds of pinwheels, which is how we came to the modern version of pinwheel sandwiches that so many of us enjoy today!

Making the Honey Mustard Turkey Pinwheel Recipe

Making these delicious pinwheels is as delicious as the ingredient list. Making this honey mustard turkey wrap is mostly a matter of mixing a couple of ingredients and then layering everything on the tortilla before rolling it up. This is pretty much everything you need to do, but you'll find ingredient amounts and more specifics in the recipe card at the end of the post. 

• In a bowl combine cream cheese, honey mustard, mayonnaise, salt, and pepper.
• Gently fold in tomatoes, celery, green onion, and shredded cheese.  
• Divide and evenly spread the mixture on each tortilla, almost right to the edge. 
• I have found large tortillas that are 8 inches up to 12 inches in size, depending on the brand.  This recipe will make 2 twelve inch tortillas.  The number of tortillas you make will also be decided depending on how much of the cream cheese mixture you place on each tortilla.  
• Remove spine from romaine lettuce or spinach, if using, or place baby romaine or baby spinach all over the entire tortilla.  I use baby romaine or baby spinach whenever possible just because it is easier!
• Top with slices of your favorite sandwich meat to cover and hold down the greens.  You can use as many slices as you want on each tortilla.
• Roll tortillas as tightly as possible and wrap them in plastic wrap or parchment paper and then tinfoil. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, if not overnight.
• When serving, unwrap and cut into ½ - ¾ inch slices.

See? That's all there is to it. It's not an overly involved recipe at all. It simply requires a bit of mixing and then rolling, and that's pretty much all there is to it! You'll absolutely love the ease of this one. 

Turkey Pinwheel Variations

Of course, being easy and delicious are two major selling points for this honey mustard turkey pinwheel recipe, but what I love just as much about it is how versatile it is. This is a honey mustard turkey wrap, but you can put just about any spin on it you'd like to make it something a little different or drastically different. That's the beauty of this recipe. You can do anything with it. 

Change Your Meats

We used turkey in this recipe, but you can just as easily use any other lunch meat you like. Anything that's sliced can be used, and it will all be delicious. Some great options include:

• Bacon
• Turkey
• Ham
• Roast Beef
• Chicken
• Salami
• Pepperoni
• Pastrami
• Corned Beef
• Literally Any Slice Lunch Meat

Change Your Condiments

For this recipe, I used a combination of mayo and honey mustard, but depending on the meat or meats that you choose, you might want to try a different condiment for wrap. Just like the meats, you can use almost any condiment at all in your wrap, so long as it compliments your meat. Some good choices are:

• Mayo 
• Mustard
• Ranch Dressing
• Tzatziki Sauce
• Barbecue Sauce
• Honey Mustard
• Salad Dressings

Change Your Greens

Baby spinach is always a winner for me, but you can use any greens at all in your wrap according to your taste. Whether you want a mild flavor like butter lettuce or something with a kick like mustard greens, you can try anything you like to see what works best for you. I've found that the following options are always winners.

• Any Lettuce Variety
• Spinach
• Mustard Greens
• Kale
• Arugula

Add More Veggies

The only vegetables I added to my wrap was my greens, but you could add almost anything that tastes good raw to this turkey pinwheel recipe. Vegetables add a nice crunch, making your sandwich healthier and more interesting. Give these options a try, and then try out your own!

• Bean Sprouts
• Carrots
• Celery
• Cucumbers
• Radishes
• Tomatoes
• Avocado

Try Different Cheeses

I used a cream cheese mixture for this turkey pinwheel recipe, but there are so many more cheese options out there. Depending on the meat and sauce you use, you can opt for almost any cheese you can think of. If you're going for a solid cheese rather than a soft cream cheese mixture, I recommend thinly-sliced cheese from your deli so that your pinwheels will roll up nicely. Some of my favorite cheese to use in a recipe like this are below, but you can use anything at all. 

• Cheddar
• Swiss
• Mozzarella
• Muenster
• Colby
• Monterey Jack
• Colby Jack

Serving the Pinwheels

This honey mustard turkey wrap is a fully self-contained meal, so it needs very little in the way of sides. That being said, if you do like serving up sides, I recommend things like potaot salad, mac and cheese, and baked beans to go with it. Of course, an extra dose of dipping sauce never hurts, either!

Turkey Pinwheel Storage

You can store these honey mustard turkey pinwheels in the refrigerator for up to 4 days in an air-tight container. That being said, I recommend only making as many as you and your family or the crowd at your get-together will eat in a day. Your pinwheels will certainly be edible for a few days in the fridge, but they tend to get soggy as everything sort of smushes into itself over the course of a few days. 

Give This Honey Mustard Turkey Pinwheel Recipe a Try

This recipe is so easy, so versatile, and so very, very good, you absolutely need to try it. It's the perfect thing for a weeknight dinner, appetizer, movie night snack, or potluck addition. With its super easy ingredient list and construction and its outstanding taste, it's a winner for both you and the people you serve it to.
