Turkey Roll Ups (Costco Copycat Recipe) (1)

Pairing cranberry sauce with turkey is not novel. After all, we do it every year at Thanksgiving. But adding cream cheese to cranberry sauce makes a delicious spread for Turkey Roll Ups (as Costco figured out long ago).

These bite-sized sandwich wraps are easy to make and perfect for toting to parties. Cut them in advance and arrange on a tray, or save the slicing until you arrive at your destination. Parents will appreciate a healthy option and kids simply love the taste.

At a Glance: Here is a quick snapshot of what ingredients are in this recipe.
Please see the recipe card below for specific quantities.

Ingredient notes

  • Cranberry sauce: Canned cranberry sauce is fine. If you prefer to make homemade cranberry sauce, bring ½ cup sugar, ¼ cup water, and ⅛ teaspoon salt to boil.Stir occasionally to dissolve the sugar. Stir in 6 ounces fresh cranberries. Simmer until slightly thickened and the berries begin to pop, about 10 minutes.Remove from heat and chill.
  • Tortillas:Square Lavash bread can be substituted for the tortillas (that is what Costco uses). If you use square flatbread, there are no wasted ends that need to be trimmed away.

Step-by-step instructions

  1. To make the cream cheese mixture, in a small bowl, mix cream cheese with cranberry sauce until uniformly combined. Lay one tortilla flat on a cutting board and spread a thick layer of cream cheese all the way to the edges. Layer 3 lettuce leaves down the middle of the tortilla.

Recipe tips and variations

  • Yield: This recipe makes enough appetizer-sized servings, 4 roll ups each, to feed 16 people. Double or halve the recipe as appropriate for your crowd.
  • Storage:Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for 1 day.
  • Make ahead: Assemble roll ups up to 24 hours in advance. Slice when ready to serve. This works for meal prep, but you cannot make several days’ worth in advance without a decline in quality.
  • On the side: If you’re serving these roll ups for lunch, offer a salty snack on the side such as Homemade Chex Mix or Ranch Oyster Crackers. For parties, round out your menu with a hot and hearty appetizer such as Mini Twice Baked Potatoes or Bacon Wrapped Water Chestnuts, and some colorful salads such as Broccoli Salad, Cold Pasta Salad, or Kale Salad.
  • Leftover cranberry sauce: If you have extra cranberry sauce on hand (from a can or because you made it yourself), it’s fantastic in my easy Cranberry Cheesecake Galette.
  • Leftover cranberry cream cheese: If you have extra cranberry cream cheese spread, it’s delicious on homemade bagels or as part of a Bagel Bar. Personally, I like it with cut-up fresh fruit on a Fruit Platter, too.
  • More meats and cheese: Look beyond turkey pinwheels and try chicken, ham, salami, smoked salmon, or turkey bacon, or roast beef. Cheddar cheese, Swiss cheese, American cheese – they’re all good!
  • More veggies: Try cucumber, red peppers, fresh spinach, green onion, corn, sun-dried tomato, avocado, and sprouts. Aim for a variety of textures (some soft, some crunchy).
  • Sauces: Instead of the cream cheese, try mayonnaise, pesto, honey mustard sauce, ranch dressing, barbecue sauce, hummus, olive tapenade – the list goes on! Any of these can work as a glue to hold your wrap together, or serve on the side for dipping.

FAQs

What is turkey roll made of? ›

Rolled turkey is comprised of two turkey breasts bound together using bacon and string before roasting. Two 900g turkey breasts should sufficiently feed six of you, but if there's a smaller number of guests, you can easily use it for leftovers the next day too.

Can you freeze Costco turkey roll ups? ›

Yes, it is safe to freeze meat or poultry directly in its supermarket wrapping, but this type of wrap is permeable to air. Unless you will be using the food in a month or two, overwrap packages with airtight heavy-duty foil or freezer wrap. This should protect the product from freezer burn for longer storage.

Is turkey roll healthy? ›

With just 3 ingredients, it covers your protein, healthy fat and carbs in one bite. I first started bringing these turkey roll ups to work to tide me over between meals and meetings. But, I also found that they worked as great snacks for my kids too!

Do you cover a turkey roll when cooking? ›

Place in a covered roasting pan or baking dish and bake/roast at 325F for 30-40 mins per lb. The internal thermometer should read 170F - 180F (77C - 82C). Remove from the oven, tent, and let rest for 15 min. Transfer to a cutting board, remove twine, and cut crosswise into 1" thick slices.

How much are the pinwheel sandwiches at Costco? ›

For example, Chicken & Swiss Roller party platters are $0.83 per pinwheel, while from the deli section you get 12 sandwich spirals for about $1.23 each. But the benefit is that you can pick them up in a pinch. Serving sizes are recommendations.

How long are turkey roll ups good for in the fridge? ›

Store in a lunch box in the fridge up to 24 hours. Or, wrap tightly in plastic wrap and place into a storage container and store in the fridge for up to 3 days. You can also place the wrapped turkey wraps into a freezer bag.

How long does turkey roll last in the fridge? ›

USDA recommends using cooked turkey within 3 to 4 days, kept refrigerated (40°F or less). Refrigeration slows but does not stop bacterial growth. Turkey can be frozen for 3 to 4 months. Although safe indefinitely, frozen leftovers can lose moisture and flavor when stored for longer times in the freezer.

How do you get pinwheels to stay together? ›

Before finishing the roll-up, place a small dollop of your chosen spread on the edge of the wrap. This helps the tortilla stick to itself so the pinwheel stays rolled. If you're struggling to make this work, you can use toothpicks to secure the pinwheels; just make sure you remove the toothpicks before eating them!

How do you keep pinwheels from drying out? ›

Cover the pinwheels tightly with plastic wrap.

This will prevent the tortillas and the filling from drying out. Dry tortillas can crack when sliced and a dry filling won't be as satisfyingly creamy.

What is a turkey roll made of? ›

Sage, rosemary, garlic and spices are ground together to form a deeply fragrant, flavorful spice paste which is then spread on the butterflied turkey breast. The turkey breasts are then rolled tightly into a roulade and wrapped with the turkey skin and slow roasted until perfectly cooked and juicy.

How do you keep turkey wraps from getting soggy? ›

Airtight food storage containers are the ideal option, as they prevent air and moisture from seeping in and causing the wrap to become soggy or stale. Reusable food containers are also a great choice, as they are eco-friendly and can be used again and again to store wraps and other types of food.

What is a turkey wrap made of? ›

Place 2 turkey slices per tortilla over the lettuce, and sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of shredded Swiss cheese. Top each tortilla evenly with crumbled bacon, tomato, and avocado slices. Roll each tortilla up tightly; cut in half across the middle with a slightly diagonal cut.

Are turkey rolls good? ›

What is a turkey sandwich made of? ›
