# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The pinwheels look impressive but are secretly a breeze to make—it feels like cheating at party food.
  • They're handheld and filling, so you won't end up with sad leftovers after gatherings.
02 -
  • If you skip chilling, the pinwheels will squish and the filling seeps out—it’s not pretty.
  • Using paper towels to dry spinach keeps the texture crisp and pinwheels neat.
03 -
  • Using a super sharp knife makes pinwheel slices clean and tidy, not squished.
  • Bumping up the cheddar slightly amps up the flavor without overpowering the turkey or spinach.
