Pink Fairy (Turkey) Roll-ups
What do you serve to fairies on Fairy Festival day? Why Pink Fairy Turkey Roll-ups, of course! Both savory and sweet, these roll-ups will win praises from even the pickiest of eaters and even young boys! I received the highest compliment of praise from Miles, a friend of the Princesses P, at our Fairy Festival picnic for these roll-ups! He said, “Aunt Carole, these are really good!” Such a sweet boy!
They are easy to whip together, too. But, you do need several hours of refrigerator time, so plan accordingly. I made them the night before our Fairy Festival trip, but you could make them the same day as long as you put them in the refrigerator for about 4 hours before slicing and serving. This will ensure that these roll-ups stay in a pinwheel form and not unravel on you as you slice them!
Here’s what you do:
Cream cheese and mayonnaise
Place cream cheese, mayonnaise and milk in a bowl. Mix together with an electric mixer.
Cream cheese mixture with strawberry jam
Add strawberry jam and mix until well blended.
Strawberry cream cheese
Pretty pink cream cheese!
Strawberry cream cheese on flour tortilla
Spread a thin layer of strawberry cream cheese on a flour tortilla. Don’t overload or the strawberry cream cheese will ooze out when you roll it! Also, once you have finished with all four tortillas, you may have leftover strawberry cream cheese. No worries – just place in a storage container, refrigerate and use for your next bagel!
Add craisins to strawberry tortilla
Sprinkle with craisins.
Thinly sliced deli turkey on strawberry cream cheese flour tortilla
Add four slices of thinly sliced roasted deli turkey, overlapping where needed.
Rolled up flour tortillas
Roll tightly and place in a 9″ x 13″ plate, seam side down. Cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight.
Sliced strawberry cream cheese turkey roll-ups
When ready to serve, transfer to cutting board and slice each log into 9 slices, discarding (or eating!) the ends.

If your fairy would rather have lavender roll-ups, substitute the strawberry jam for grape, boysenberry or blackberry jam and use regular raisins instead of craisins.
