Lighten up the traditional deli roll by making these healthy pinwheels. Loaded with flavor and whole grain they are a filling lunch or dinner served with an Italian inspired chopped salad.
Ask your butcher to slice the lean deli, and if he’s feeling charitable to remove all the visible fat (otherwise you can do that on your own). Use light mayonnaise and a whole wheat wrap instead of the puff pastry and you’ve got a pretty delish dish in minutes.
I can’t say this will replace your traditional deli roll forever, but it’s a wicked good takeoff on the idea, and one that should be in your repertoire.

4 Servings
Ingredients
- For Pinwheels:
- 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 2 tablespoons sweet pickle relish
- 4 whole wheat wraps or tortillas

- 1/4 cup sliced black olives
- 1 6-ounce jar roasted red peppers, drained and sliced
- 1/4 cup Italian vinaigrette dressing
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, ketchup and relish and set aside. To assemble pinwheel, spread 2 tablespoons of dressing on wrap, leaving a 1/4-inch border around the edge. Layer with turkey and pastrami. Starting at one end, roll tightly, like sushi, and cut into 4 equal sections. Repeat with remaining wraps, dressing and deli meat and serve with extra dressing and chopped salad.

This was great I always have a pkg or two of deli in my freezer because I never know when I’ll have company. Which happened tjis week so instead of serving the plain deli I wrapped it up(thank g-d I had some wraps in the freezer also. It was a really nice change. To the same old deli plate thank you. My only mistake was I forgot how much of the mayo, relish and ketchup I needed to use but it was still good. Now its printed out so wouldn’t have that problem again.
the idea being “Thousand Island” dressing 🙂
so happy you like it Goldie!
