You can easily create homemade turkey roll-ups similar to Costco’s, and they’re not only simple to make but also more budget-friendly and flavorful than the store-bought ones. Check out the video below to see just how quick and straightforward the process is!
One of my good friends was recently planning a party for her son and I volunteered to help out.
After all, I like cooking more than the average person, and who doesn’t want a hand with entertaining? We talked about the menu and she wanted to serve sandwiches, turkey roll ups, fresh fruit, and cupcakes: A simple yet delicious menu that would travel easily to the park where the party was taking place.
A few more conversations later, I discovered my friend was partial to the Turkey Roll Ups sold at Costco. Sounded easy enough to make, so I started experimenting.

Pairing cranberry sauce with turkey is not novel; we do it every Thanksgiving, after all.
Mixing sweet and tart cranberries with creamy, tangy cream cheese yields a flavorful, balanced spread that goes perfectly with its poultry counterpart.
After submitting one experimental batch for tasting and feedback, my friend’s only response was, more spread! A thick layer of cranberry cream cheese ensures every bite has flavor while holding the rollups together.
To double or triple this recipe, assume 8 ounces cream cheese and 1/4 cup cranberry sauce for every 8 large tortillas.
Keep the Turkey Roll Ups wrapped in plastic for travel to your event, then slice and serve as needed. They look so pretty when arranged snugly on a tray. The cranberry cream cheese is also delicious on bagels!
Turkey rollups with cranberry cream cheese (Costco Copycat)
- Total Time: 30 minutes
- Yield: 16 servings 1x
Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese softened
- 1/4 cup whole berry cranberry sauce
- 8 (10-inch) flour tortillas (see notes)
- 1/2 head romaine or green leaf lettuce torn into 4-inch pieces
- 16 slices deli turkey
- 16 slices Havarti or Swiss cheese halved
- 2 medium tomatoes halved and sliced
Instructions
- Combine the cream cheese and cranberry sauce in a small bowl, mixing them together until smooth and evenly blended.
- Place a tortilla flat on a cutting board and spread a generous layer of cream cheese all the way to the edges. Then, arrange three lettuce leaves along the center of the tortilla.
- Place two slices of turkey and four pieces of Swiss cheese over the lettuce, then add a few slices of tomato on top.
- Beginning at one end of the tortilla, roll it tightly toward the filling, continuing until the rollup is secure and the cream cheese keeps it held together.
- Finish assembling the rest of the tortillas, then wrap each one securely in plastic wrap to keep them fresh.
- Refrigerate the wrapped rollups until it’s time to serve. Before slicing, remove any uneven ends, then cut each tortilla into eight even pieces.
Notes
- Square Lavash bread can be substituted for the tortillas (that is what Costco uses). If you use square flatbread, there are no wasted ends that need to be trimmed away.
