Steps

Beat the cream cheese with the yogurt, dill, spring onion, garlic powder and pepper until spreadable. The yogurt is what takes it from a block to a spread without a splash of cream.
Spread it right to the edges of each tortilla — the edge is the glue that stops the spiral unrolling.
Lay on the turkey and the shredded lettuce, keeping the filling thin and even. A fat log cuts into ragged pinwheels.
Roll up tight, wrap each log in cling film and chill at least 30 minutes.
Unwrap and cut into 2 cm (¾-inch) rounds with a sharp knife, discarding the untidy ends (cook's perk).

Can I make them the night before?

Roll and chill them whole overnight, but slice on the day — cut faces dry out and curl in the fridge.
