Image for recipe: Gourmet Turkey and Cheese Quesadilla

Ingredients: 7

Indulge in the flavors of a delicious blend of cheeses, smoked turkey, and fresh vegetables inside a crispy whole wheat tortilla.

Ingredients

1 whole wheat flour tortilla (soft taco size)
1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 cup shredded monterey jack cheese
2 slices deli turkey (I used oscar mayer smoked turkey breast)
2 tablespoons Miracle Whip
1/3 cup finely shredded iceberg lettuce
thinly sliced tomatoes

Instructions

    1. Begin by heating a skillet. Place a whole wheat flour tortilla in the warm skillet and sprinkle shredded cheddar and monterey jack cheeses over the entire tortilla, leaving a 1/2" border. Allow the cheeses to melt over medium heat.
    2. Arrange slices of deli turkey in the center of the tortilla, layering them on top of each other.
    3. Let it cook for a couple more minutes until the turkey is heated through, being cautious not to burn the bottom of the tortilla. The tortilla should become stiff and crispy. Turn off the heat.
    4. Gently spread Miracle Whip on one side of the tortilla. Place finely shredded iceberg lettuce and thinly sliced tomatoes on top of the Miracle Whip.
    5. Fold the tortilla in half and press down lightly with a spatula. Transfer the quesadilla from the skillet to a plate, and savor it while it's hot, accompanied by soup or chips.
