Creamy cream cheese studded with smoky crumbled bacon, sweet-tart dried cranberries, and fresh green onion, all rolled up with tender sliced turkey in a soft flour tortilla. These Bacon Turkey Cranberry Roll Ups taste like your favorite holiday leftovers turned into the cutest little party bites.
You’ll love these roll ups because they come together in just 10 minutes with no cooking at all, which is a lifesaver when your oven is already packed during the holidays. They’re easy to make ahead, travel well to potlucks, and look so pretty on a platter with those colorful swirls. Whether you’re hosting a holiday open house or just want a fun snack for game day, these little pinwheels are guaranteed to disappear fast.
Helpful Tips
- Chop the cranberries small: Giving the dried cranberries a fine chop spreads their sweetness evenly through the filling. Whole cranberries can also tear the tortilla or make the rolls lumpy when you slice them.
- Leave a border on the tortilla: Spreading the filling to within 1/2 inch of the edge keeps it from squeezing out as you roll. It also helps the tortilla seal shut so your roll ups hold together.
- Slice right before serving: Wrap the whole rolls tightly in plastic wrap and chill them if you’re making them ahead. Cutting them just before serving keeps the edges fresh and the swirls neat, and chilled rolls are much easier to slice cleanly.
