Easy Kid Friendly Turkey Pickle Roll Ups
These quick turkey and pickle roll ups are a fresh, bread free lunch option that kids absolutely love.
recipesbynani.comWhen your kids get tired of the same old sandwiches, these turkey pickle roll ups are a life saver. They take just a few minutes to put together and they offer a nice crunch that makes lunch feel much more exciting without any extra effort in the kitchen.
I find these are perfect for those busy mornings when you need something healthy and fast. They are easy to pack, stay fresh in the fridge, and are simple enough for little hands to hold while they eat during their school break.
🧺 Ingredients
- 4 large slices of deli turkey breast
- 4 whole kosher dill pickles
- 4 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
- 1 teaspoon yellow mustard or honey mustard
- Optional: a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese
👩🍳Instructions
- 1
Lay each slice of deli turkey flat on a clean cutting board or plate.
- 2
In a small bowl, mix the softened cream cheese with the mustard until smooth.
- 3
Spread a thin layer of the cream cheese mixture over each slice of turkey.
- 4
If using shredded cheese, sprinkle a little bit over the cream cheese layer.
- 5
Place one whole pickle at the end of each turkey slice.
- 6
Roll the turkey tightly around the pickle, ensuring the seam is facing down so it stays closed.
- 7
Serve them whole or slice each roll into bite sized pinwheels for easier snacking.
💡 Tips
Store these in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep the turkey from drying out. They stay crisp and delicious for up to two days. If you pack them for school, include a small ice pack in the lunch box to keep the cream cheese cool until it is time to eat.
