Description

Delight in these easy-to-make turkey and cranberry quesadillas, featuring crispy tortillas filled with tender turkey, sweet-tart cranberry sauce, and gooey melted cheese. Perfect for any occasion!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 2 cups cooked turkey, shredded or diced
  • 1 cup cranberry sauce (preferably with whole berries)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese blend
  • 2 green onions, chopped

Instructions

  1. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
  2. Lay one tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread a generous layer of cranberry sauce in the center, then sprinkle shredded turkey and cheese on top. Add chopped green onions for extra flavor.
  3. Carefully fold the tortilla in half to encase the filling. Place it in the heated skillet and cook until golden brown—about 3-4 minutes per side.
  4. Remove from heat once both sides are browned and the cheese is melted. Let it rest for a minute before slicing into wedges.
  5. Serve warm with additional cranberry sauce or sour cream for dipping.
