Tap a step to highlight it, or turn on Cook Mode for large type and step-by-step focus.

  1. Mix the cream cheese, mustard and pepper in a small bowl until smooth.

  2. Lay the turkey slices flat on a board. Spread each with the cream cheese mixture, right to the edges.

  3. Lay a few spinach leaves, a cucumber stick and a few strips of red pepper along one short edge of each slice.

  4. Roll up tightly, seam side down, and cut each roll in half. Chill until serving.

Tips for Success

  • Choose slices large enough to roll without tearing; very thin ones split.
  • If a roll will not stay closed, add a dab more cream cheese along the edge before rolling.
  • Cut the rolls with a sharp knife in a single downward stroke so they do not squash.

Behind the Recipe

A snack for four. It needs no stove and no cutlery, and it takes about 10 minutes. Slices of turkey breast are spread with cream cheese and mustard, wrapped around crisp cucumber and spinach, and cut into bites. It is protein, crunch and freshness in one hand.

Spread the cream cheese right to the edges so the roll holds together without a toothpick. Pat the spinach dry so it does not make the slices soggy, and cut the cucumber into thin sticks about the length of the slice. Roll tightly. Keep the seam side down, then cut each roll in half on a slant for a neat finish. Pepper adds sweetness and colour.

Check the label on the turkey: deli slices vary a great deal in salt, and some carry added sugar. Turkey breast sliced fresh at the counter is the simplest choice. Keep the rolls chilled until serving. Serve with mustard on the side.
