Kids need to eat more often than just breakfast, lunch and dinner. When my kids come home from school they’re looking for something to eat right away. All of us who have kids will understand what I mean. If you don’t have anything ready they will try to fill their stomachs with whatever they want. Instead, I have an excellent and quick recipe for you to prepare and give them something healthy to throw into those little stomachs until dinnertime comes. And prevent the attack of the pantry!
This Turkey Pinwheel recipe is great, healthy with vitamins, protein, fiber and low in fat. Plus, it’s a chance to get some veggies in, such as green leaf lettuce and tomato. You can also add any of your family favorite vegetables to these pinwheels. Kids love to play with it first, of course, pretending they’re riding in a truck with big wheels before they actually eat them. Works up an appetite for other kids who are pickier eaters and makes for peaceful dinner making. These pinwheels can also be good for lunch. Quick – Easy – Delicious – Perfect! 🙂
Ingredients you will need:
8 leafs – green leaf lettuce
1 extra large – tomato
1 pack – Flatout flatbread

These look great! For lunch or snacking. I only have one little mouth to feed and sometimes i feel like there’s never enough food 🙂
Thanks Katya! I know what you mean. I feel like that all the time, specially having teenagers in the house. I keep telling them thank God for all we have, because not a lot of people in the world have what we have in our pantries and fridges, and we’re not any better than them. 🙂
This looks like the perfect after-school snack for kids, or a mid-day work snack for me! I love the easy ingredients in here. Sounds delish!
Thanks Gayle! This is a perfect snack any time of the day. I love them a lot. 🙂
These are my favorite and I used to buy them at Costco$5 for a big tray, but then they got really expensive. However, I was able to replicate these by making your own spreading: mix cream cheese and cranberry sauce with berries. Yum!!!!
That is a good idea of making that combination of cream cheese and cranberry sauce. The only thing is I don’t know how it blends together with turkey. I guess I just have to try it. I never saw them at Costco. I guess I never paid attentions if they even sell them, since I always make my own. The 28 of them by my recipe will cost you about $5. They are also really good if you use just plain cream cheese instead of mayonnaise. Thanks Tatyana! 🙂
It’s just a suggestion, but if you do try cranberry sauce (it will say on the can with berries) and mix that with cream cheese, I promise you that you’ll never go back to plain cream cheese or mayo.:)
Thanks Tatyana! Now I really want to try it. Send me the picture of that cranberry sauce in the email if its not hard for you when ever you can. 🙂
Where do you buy the flat bread? Would tortilla work as well?
I get flat bread at Winco Foods. Most grocery store should carry it. Tortilla has a different taste and not as soft.
That looks good. I’m definitely going to try this,we eat healthy foods,&no pop in the house,we grew up with no pop only for family gathering,but my stomach doesn’t asept almost all of them. Thanks for sharing,God bless u. Just found your website,food & everything looks delicious.
Hi Olga and welcome to my food blog website! Healthy eating is the way to go. I consider having a dessert is totally normal healthy living if the dessert is prepared with healthy ingredients and served in small portions. I hope you enjoy my recipes!
Yes,we really liked it,even my 3yr old girl did. Yes,i like to bake,but not a lot. Want to make those Easter eggs,i think that’s what there called.
I’m glad your family liked it. Great way to feed kids vegetables 😉
Yes,very true. Me,& my whole family love to cook and try new stuff. I’m half Russian and half German. God bless you!
That’s awesome! God’s blessings to you and your family as well!
Would you recommend this for meal prep? How long can it stay in the fridge?
Of course! It can be refrigerated for up to 6 hours. Just cover them with a plastic food wrap to prevent from drying out. Enjoy!
This is great snacks, lunch, dinner idea!
Yes they are, and kids absolutely love them.
Stupid question….how many days are this good in the fridge? I’m trying to find ideas for school lunches that I can make ahead.
Thanks!
Hi Anna! The tomatoes will water and make them soggy. They are perfect to make ahead with addition of other vegetables like cucumbers, avocado etc… Hope this helps. Thank you for topping by! 🙂
I’m so glad I came across your website. Best wishes to your family this year!
I tried these and they were amazing!
Welcome to my website Lyuda! I’m so happy to hear you like these pinwheels, we love them as well. Best wishes to you as well dear! 🙂
