Ingredients
- 4 oz sliced deli turkey breast
- 1/2 cup fresh spinach leaves

- 1 tbsp mayonnaise

Ingredients
- 4 oz sliced deli turkey breast
- 1/2 cup fresh spinach leaves
- 2 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh chives (optional)
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and well blended.
- Lay out the deli turkey slices on a clean cutting board or countertop, arranging them in a single layer slightly overlapping to form two large rectangular bases (two slices per roll-up).
- Evenly spread half of the cream cheese mixture over each turkey base using a spoon or spatula.
- Top each spread with 1/4 cup of fresh spinach leaves, distributing them evenly across the surface.
- Sprinkle chopped chives on top of the spinach if using.
- Starting from one of the short ends, gently roll up each turkey and spinach layer tightly to form a log.
- Once rolled, slice each log into 4 equal pieces to create bite-sized roll-ups.
- Serve immediately or refrigerate for 15–20 minutes to firm them up slightly before serving.

Storage Instructions
Store leftover Turkey and Spinach Roll-Ups in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To keep them fresh, place a paper towel in the container to absorb excess moisture. These roll-ups are not ideal for freezing, as the cream cheese may separate and compromise the texture upon thawing.
Reheating Instructions
These roll-ups are best enjoyed cold or at room temperature. If you prefer them slightly warmed, reheat gently in a microwave at 50% power in 10-15 second increments to avoid overheating the cream cheese, which may become oily. Avoid using high heat to preserve texture and flavor.
Modifications and Ingredient Swaps
To enhance the protein content, try swapping the turkey with grilled chicken slices or adding hard-boiled egg slices. For added fiber and micronutrients, layer in thinly sliced bell peppers, shredded carrots, or avocado. You can also replace the cream cheese with a paleo-friendly cashew or almond-based spread to maintain a dairy-free approach. These additions offer extra vitamins, minerals, and healthy fats while keeping the recipe aligned with paleo principles.
