The best part about a holiday party? The food! These turkey cranberry pinwheels are the perfect easy finger food for holiday parties.

If you’re looking for something simple to throw together, this is it.

It’s also a great lunch, kids think it’s awesome, and look at that gorgeous shade of red from the cranberry sauce.

Doesn’t that just scream festive!?

Other reasons to love this adorable, easy finger food option:

  • They’re no-bake.
  • They can be transported easily from your house to someone else’s, making them a great potluck option.
  • They’re super easy for kids to help with. That’s whether you need their assistance or just need to keep little hands busy for a while. (because yeah, I’ve been there).
  • You can use leftover Thanksgiving ingredients to make them (no extra shopping trips!)

If you’ve got Thanksgiving leftovers, they can really shine in these turkey pinwheels.

Did you know cranberry sauce freezes fantastically?

If you’ve got a lot left over after Thanksgiving, pop it in the freezer and pull it out to serve these pinwheels at a New Year’s Eve party!

I will store leftover cranberry sauce in small portions – a little goes a long way.

It freezes great in small plastic containers, and the small sizes mean they defrost easier, too.

When we’ve got leftover cranberry sauce after Thanksgiving, I save little containers of it and then pull it back out at Christmas or New Year’s, just so we can enjoy these turkey pinwheels.

The flavors in these pinwheels can be played around with as well. If cranberry’s not your jam, pesto makes a great substitute.

I’ll often make turkey rollups for my kids’ lunchboxes by rolling up pesto and cream cheese in a slice of turkey. It jazzes up the normal turkey lunchtime routine and by rolling it makes it easier for little fingers to grab!

Ingredients
  

  • 4 slices deli-style turkey breast
  • 4 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 3 tablespoons cranberry sauce

Instructions
 

Make From Fresh:

  • Arrange the turkey slices side by side on a flat surface and in a straight line, overlapping by about 1-2″ each.
  • Spread the cream cheese on the turkey slices evenly, spreading right up to the edge of the slices
  • Spread the cranberry sauce on top of the cream cheese in an even layer
  • Starting from the bottom (widest part), slowly and tightly roll the slices up into a log.
  • Slice into rolls and serve.

Notes

A great way to use up cranberry sauce after Thanksgiving! These little rolls have a punchy zest from the tart cranberry, with creaminess from the cream cheese. Makes a great party appetizer or an easy lunch or snack.

You work hard. Dinner should be easy.

At Percolate Kitchen, we believe that the “third shift” of getting dinner ready shouldn’t mean reinventing the wheel every evening.

Recipes on our site are broken down into simple, step-by-step processes so you can be flexible with your time- make the meal fresh, prep the ingredients to assemble and cook later, or do a little bit of both.
