Pairing cranberry sauce with turkey is a classic tradition at Thanksgiving, but adding cream cheese to it creates a delicious spread for Turkey Roll Ups, a discovery made long ago by Costco.
These easy-to-make bite-sized sandwich wraps, perfect for parties, can be prepared in advance and arranged on a tray or sliced upon arrival, offering parents a healthy option that kids will love.
Ingredient notes
- Cranberry sauce:If you prefer homemade cranberry sauce, bring ½ cup sugar, ¼ cup water, and ⅛ teaspoon salt to a boil, otherwise canned cranberry sauce is fine.Stir occasionally to dissolve the sugar, then add 6 ounces of fresh cranberries and simmer until slightly thickened with the berries beginning to pop, about 10 minutes; remove from heat and chill.
- Tortillas: You can substitute Square Lavash bread for tortillas (as Costco does), and using square flatbread eliminates any wasted ends that would need trimming.
Step-by-step instructions
1.To make the cream cheese mixture, blend cream cheese with cranberry sauce in a small bowl until evenly mixed, then spread a thick layer to the edges of one tortilla flat on a cutting board and place 3 lettuce leaves down the middle.

Recipe tips and variations
- yield:This recipe makes enough appetizer-sized servings, with 4 roll-ups each, to feed 16 people; adjust by doubling or halving as needed for your crowd.
- storage:Store any leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 1 day.
- make ahead:You can assemble the roll-ups up to 24 hours in advance and slice them when ready to serve, which is great for meal prep, but avoid making them several days ahead as the quality may decline.
- one the side:If serving the roll-ups for lunch, pair them with a salty side snack like Homemade Chex Mix or Ranch Oyster Crackers; for parties, complement the menu with hot and hearty appetizers such as Mini Twice Baked Potatoes or Bacon Wrapped Water Chestnuts, along with colorful salads like Broccoli Salad, Cold Pasta Salad, or Kale Salad.
- Leftover cranberry sauce:If you have extra cranberry sauce on hand, either from a can or homemade, it’s wonderful to use in my simple Cranberry Cheesecake Galette recipe.
- Leftover cranberry cream cheese:If you have extra cranberry cream cheese spread, it’s delicious on homemade bagels or as part of a Bagel Bar; I personally enjoy it with cut-up fresh fruit on a Fruit Platter as well.
- More meats and cheese:Look beyond turkey pinwheels and try chicken, ham, salami, smoked salmon, turkey bacon, or roast beef with options like cheddar cheese, Swiss cheese, and American cheese – they’re all delicious choices!
- More veggies:Try cucumber, red peppers, fresh spinach, green onion, corn, sun-dried tomato, avocado, and sprouts for a variety of textures including some soft and some crunchy.
- Sauces:Instead of cream cheese, experiment with mayonnaise, pesto, honey mustard sauce, ranch dressing, barbecue sauce, hummus, olive tapenade, and more to find the perfect glue for your wrap or a delicious dipping sauce on the side.
