Ingredients
  

  • 2.0 cup cooked turkey, shredded
  • 1.0 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1.0 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1.0 cup cranberry sauce
  • 4.0 large flour tortillas
  • 2.0 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1.0 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1.0 teaspoon onion powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded turkey, cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, cranberry sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.
  • Preheat the Pan: Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
  • Assemble Quesadillas: Place one tortilla in the skillet. On one half of the tortilla, spread a generous portion of the turkey and cheese filling. Fold the other half over to cover the filling. Cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until the bottom is golden brown.
  • Flip and Cook: Carefully flip the quesadilla using a spatula, and add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the pan if needed. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until both sides are crispy and the cheese has melted.
  • Repeat: Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and place on a cutting board. Cut into wedges. Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and filling.
  • Serve: Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve warm with additional cranberry sauce or sour cream on the side for dipping.
  • Enjoy: Delight in the blend of cheesy goodness, savory turkey, and sweet-tart cranberry flavors!
