Lay the turkey pastrami slices flat on a clean surface or cutting board.
In a small mixing bowl, combine cream cheese and whole grain mustard until smooth and creamy.
Spread a thin layer of the cream cheese mixture evenly over each turkey pastrami slice.
Finely chop the fresh dill and sprinkle a small amount over the cream cheese mixture on each slice.
Cut each mini pickle in half lengthwise so that you have 12 pickle halves.
Place one pickle half at the edge of each turkey pastrami slice and roll it tightly into a spiral, securing it with a toothpick.
Arrange the rolled appetizers on a serving platter and garnish with a few additional sprigs of fresh dill, if desired.
Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator until ready to enjoy.
