Turkey Quesadilla - Video
I'm headed out of town and won't be making any Post-Thanksgiving leftover meals this year so I pulled this one from the archives. It's a yummy way to create a completely different meal using your Turkey Day leftovers!
I like topping it with some left over Cranberry Sauce!
Turkey Quesadilla - Video
Ingredients
2 whole wheat tortillas (I used La Tortilla Factory low-carb)1/2 cups of light shredded pepper jack cheese
1/2 cup of cooked turkey, cut into bite sized chunks
1/4 cup of pinto beans
1 jalapeno, thinly sliced
½ green apple, thinly sliced
½ tsp thyme
Makes 2 Quesadillas.
Directions
Heat tortilla in a dry pan over medium heat and flip it over a few times until it is warmed through.
Sprinkle two tbsp of cheese over the entire tortilla. On ½ of the tortilla add 1/4 cup of turkey, two tbsp of pinto beans, a few jalapeno slices and three slices of apple (you'll love it!). Sprinkle with ¼ tsp of dried thyme and top with another two tbsp of cheese.
Fold the tortilla over to make a half moon. Press the top down with a spatula and flip it over.
Cook until the cheese is melted and the tortilla is heated through. Allow a few minutes for the Quesadilla to cool down before slicing.
Top with some left-over cranberry sauce & enjoy!

Your site is outstanding and so are your recipes. I wonder ... have you ever thought about putting your recipes on a CD with the videos? You might offer it monthly. If you ever decide to do so, let me know, I would love to have a set.
