Ingredients
- 4 whole wheat tortillas or wraps
- 2 cups turkey breast
- 1/2 cup cranberry sauce
- 2 cup shredded cheese I used Cheddar, Asiago, and pepperjack!
- 1/4 cup fresh sage chopped
Instructions
- Spray a large skillet with olive oil and heat over medium heat.
- Place the first wrap in the bottom of the skillet and top with 1/4 cup cheese, 1/2 cup turkey, 1/4 cup cranberry sauce, 1/8 cup sage, another 1/4 cup cheese, and the second wrap. Grill for about 5 minutes on each side, or until melty and delicious.
- Take off the heat and cut into quarters to serve. Repeat with other ingredients to make a second quesadilla.
Notes
Becky's Tips:
- Flipping the tortilla can be a little tricky. To avoid spills, use a spatula to slide the quesadilla onto a small plate. Cover with another plate; flip; remove the top plate and slide it all back into the skillet.
- Don't overload the wraps with food. Pay attention to the quantities listed in the recipe to avoid soggy, leaking quesadillas.
- The sage leaves can be chopped to spread the flavor throughout. You can also use dried sage.
- If you're repurposing cheese from Thanksgiving appetizers, you can use thinly sliced or cubed cheese in the quesadillas--no need to shred it.
