Costco is a treasure trove of party-ready snacks, including their delicious turkey pinwheel sandwiches But let’s face it, the presentation isn’t exactly Instagram-worthy. That’s where a little creativity comes in! With a few simple tricks, you can transform those Costco pinwheels into a stunning centerpiece that will impress your guests and leave them wondering if you hired a professional caterer.
The Magic of Presentation:
The key to elevating your Costco turkey pinwheel platter lies in presentation Here’s how to turn those humble sandwiches into a showstopper:
1. Ditch the Plastic Wrap: Unwrap the pinwheels and arrange them on a beautiful platter or cutting board. A wooden board adds a rustic touch, while a sleek slate or marble platter exudes elegance.
2. Get Creative with Garnishes: Don’t underestimate the power of garnishes! Fresh herbs like dill, parsley or basil add a pop of color and freshness. Scatter some sliced grapes, cranberries, or pomegranate seeds for a touch of sweetness and visual interest.
3. Dips and Spreads: Elevate the flavor profile by offering a variety of dips and spreads. A classic cranberry sauce is always a crowd-pleaser, while a creamy herb dip or a spicy mustard adds a bit of zing. Arrange the dips in small bowls and place them strategically around the pinwheels.
4. The Finishing Touches: Don’t forget the finishing touches! Edible flowers, like pansies or nasturtiums, add a whimsical touch. A sprinkle of flaky sea salt or a drizzle of balsamic glaze adds a touch of sophistication.
Beyond the Platter:
With a little creativity, you can take your Costco turkey pinwheel platter to the next level:
1. Cut Them in Half: For a more manageable finger food, cut the pinwheels in half before arranging them on the platter. This also allows you to showcase the beautiful spiral of fillings.
2. Get Creative with the Fillings: While the classic turkey and cream cheese filling is delicious, don’t be afraid to experiment! Try adding pesto, sun-dried tomatoes, or even a spicy chorizo spread for a unique twist.
3. Pair with Other Appetizers: Round out your party spread with other Costco favorites like mini quiches, vegetable platters, or fruit and cheese boards.
4. Don’t Forget the Drinks: Offer a selection of beverages to complement your snacks. Sparkling water with fresh fruit slices, a pitcher of sangria, or a selection of craft beers are always crowd-pleasers.
Impress Your Guests with Minimal Effort:
By taking the time to present your Costco turkey pinwheel sandwiches in a creative and visually appealing way, you can create a stunning party platter that will wow your guests and leave them wondering if you spent hours in the kitchen. So, unleash your inner food stylist and transform those humble pinwheels into a culinary masterpiece!

Recipe tips and variations
Yes of course! Assume 8 ounces cream cheese and ¼ cup cranberry sauce for every 8 large tortillas.
Once you’ve added your filling, starting at one end of the tortilla, roll tightly towards the filling. Continue rolling until the filling is tightly wrapped and the cream cheese holds the rollup together.
Your wrap will contain roughly 18g of protein if you use a 10-inch tortilla and add 1 ounce of cream cheese, 2 slices of turkey, and 2 slices of cheese.
Substitute lettuce leaves for the flour tortillas or choose a low-carb wrap.
Choose a gluten-free tortilla; the rest of the ingredients don’t contain gluten.
