Pioneer Woman Prairie Sushi Recipe Ingredients

• One 8-ounce package of cream cheese, softened
• 1 tablespoon fresh chopped basil
• 1 teaspoon fresh minced chives
• 1 tablespoon fresh chopped parsley
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• 6 taco-sized flour tortillas
• 1 pound thinly shaved turkey
• 3 carrots, julienned
• 1 cucumber, julienned

How To Make Pioneer Woman Prairie Sushi Recipe

1. Make the Herb Cream Cheese: In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, chopped basil, chives, parsley, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix until everything is smooth and well combined.
2. Assemble the Wraps: Lay a flour tortilla flat. Spread a thin, even layer of the herb cream cheese mixture all the way to the edges.
3. Add Fillings: Layer a few slices of the shaved turkey over the cream cheese. Arrange a small line of the julienned carrots and cucumber along one edge of the tortilla.
4. Roll and Chill: Roll the tortilla up as tightly as you can. Wrap the finished roll tightly in plastic wrap. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and fillings. Chill the wrapped rolls in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
5. Slice and Serve: Once chilled, unwrap the rolls and use a sharp or serrated knife to slice them into 1-inch thick “sushi” pinwheels.

Recipe Tips

• How do you get clean, neat slices? Chilling the rolls for at least an hour is the most important step. This firms up the cream cheese and helps the roll hold its shape, allowing you to make clean cuts. Using a sharp, serrated knife also helps.
• Can I use different herbs or fillings? Absolutely! This recipe is incredibly versatile. You can swap the herbs for dill or cilantro, use roast beef or ham instead of turkey, or add other veggies like bell peppers or spinach.
• How do I get a tight roll? Start with a thin layer of fillings and don’t overstuff the tortilla. As you roll, keep it as tight as possible. The tight plastic wrap will also help to compact the roll as it chills.
• Can I make these ahead of time? Yes, these are a perfect make-ahead appetizer. You can keep the uncut rolls wrapped in plastic in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before slicing and serving.

What To Serve With Prairie Sushi

These pinwheels are a fantastic party appetizer and are great served on a platter with:

• Ranch dressing for dipping
• A side of pickles or olives
• As part of a larger snack or charcuterie board

How To Store Prairie Sushi

Refrigerate: Store leftover sliced pinwheels in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. The tortillas may soften slightly over time.
