Ham and Turkey Club Sandwich Pinwheels

Ham and Turkey Club Sandwich Pinwheels are a fun twist on the deli club sandwich. Delicious club sandwich pinwheels are great finger food for party appetizers, to enjoy for lunch, or dinner. The tortilla roll-ups are filled with deli meats, bacon, fresh vegetables, and a creamy cheese spread rolled and cut into the perfect bite.

Every so often we will order sub sandwiches for dinner on nights when we are busy or I just don’t feel like cooking dinner. That can get a bit expensive when everyone wants to customize their sandwiches. Recently I made these Ham and Turkey Club Sandwich Pinwheels and they were a hit! I asked everyone what they wanted on theirs and since I had most of the meats, cheese, and toppings already it was super easy.

I like my club subs pretty basic, so this was perfect for me and I even made them a few times during the week for an easy lunch and snacking. I’m thinking of adding them to our game day appetizers, too. A tray of the ham and turkey club sandwich pinwheels are perfect finger food for holiday parties, too.

Easy Ham and Turkey Club Sandwich Pinwheels

Club sandwiches have been around forever and I can recall enjoying them with my Dad at the McCrory’s lunch counter back home in Pennslyvania. The sandwiches were tripled stacked with layers of deli meat with bacon, lettuce, tomato, and cheese with mayo as the spread. They were cut into fourths on the diagonal and a fancy toothpick was inserted in each piece.

Instead of using bread for this sandwich, I’m using a large tortilla shell and filling it with the classic ingredients, rolling it up, and after it’s chilled, cut into slices and serve. This easy pinwheel sandwich recipe is one of our favorites now because it is so easy and inexpensive. Simple ingredients go into these delectable pinwheel sandwiches.

Sandwiches are a staple at our house when life gets busy and besides this one, we love a good bacon cheddar egg salad sandwich, which you can even turn into a pinwheel sandwich! If you’re a Buffalo chicken fan, try these Buffalo Chicken Pinwheels. If you’re wanting a BLT sandwich, try this chicken BLT, it’s perfect for lunch or dinner. If you prefer a salad to a sandwich, then you must make this Grinder Salad Recipe. It is one of my favorite subs in salad form.

Can I Make Club Sandwich Pinwheels the Night Before?

Yes, you can make the pinwheels the night before. Don’t cut them until you are ready to serve the pinwheels. Wrap the tortilla in plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 24 hours.

Tips, Tricks, and FAQs

• Make a vegetarian version with lettuce, tomatoes, thinly sliced cucumbers, thin slices or red bell pepper, bean sprouts, and spinach.
• Try different cheeses like cheddar cheese or classic American cheese.

Equipment

• cutting board
• knife
• plastic wrap

Ingredients

• 4 large flour tortillas
• 8 ounces cream cheese, softened to room temperature
• 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 12 pieces ham lunch meat, thinly sliced
• 12  pieces turkey lunch meat, thinly sliced
• 1 cup Colby jack cheese, shredded
• 2.5 ounces bacon bits (or 3 slices cooked back, broken into pieces)
• ¾ cup romaine lettuce, chopped (center ribs removed)
• 1 Roma tomato, finely diced

Directions

Step 1

Stir the cream cheese and mayonnaise together in a small mixing bowl, and add ¼ of the cream cheese spread to the center of the tortilla. Use a butter knife to spread the mixture over the entire tortilla. Repeat for the other 3 tortillas.

Step 2

Arrange two slices of ham on one side of each tortilla. Then cut another slice in half, then one slice in half again. Arrange those slices to cover half the tortilla. Do the same with the turkey.

Step 3

Sprinkle ¼ of the bacon bits and ¼ cup of cheese over each tortilla. Then, sprinkle ¼ of the lettuce, then ¼ of the tomatoes over each tortilla.

Step 4

Start from one end and tightly roll the tortilla, until you meet the other end. Wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 1 hour, or until ready to serve.

Step 5

Once ready to serve, remove the plastic wrap, then cut the ends off (discarding or snacking on them), and using a sharp knife, cut into 1-inch pieces. Arrange pinwheels on a platter to serve.
