If you are getting a little tired of reheating the same old turkey dinner from last week, here’s an idea: Turkey Quesadillas with Cranberry Salsa
A sweet-tart cranberry salsa is the ideal accompaniment to leftover turkey in this breezy quesadilla. With a hint of lemon and pear, the salsa is also good with chicken or pork.
Ingredients
3/4 cup fresh or frozen cranberries
2 tablespoons sugar
1/4 cup water
1 small pear, chopped
1/4 cup chopped red onion
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped
3 tablespoons chopped celery
2 teaspoons grated lemon zest
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
4 flour tortillas, Substituting with Whole-wheat tortillas is a great idea!
2 cups cubed cooked turkey breast
1 cup shredded reduced-fat white or yellow cheddar cheese
Directions
1. For salsa, in a small saucepan, combine cranberries, sugar and water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium; cook, uncovered, until berries pop, about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat; cool slightly. Stir in pear, onion, jalapeno, celery, lemon zest and juice, and cumin.
2. Preheat griddle over medium heat. Top one half of each tortilla with 1/2 cup turkey; sprinkle with 1/4 cup cheese. Fold tortilla to close. Cook on griddle until golden brown and cheese is melted, 1-2 minutes per side. Serve with salsa.
