Calories: 678kcal
Ingredients
- 4 cups leftover turkey meat shredded
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese shredded
- 4 tablespoons pesto
- 8 tablespoons cranberry sauce
- 4 large wheat tortillas or white flour tortillas 10-12 inches
Instructions
- Preheat panini grill.
- To assemble quesadilla, on one half of the tortilla spread 1 tablespoon pesto, top with 1 cup shredded turkey, dollop 2 tablespoons of cranberry sauce and sprinkle with 1/2 cup cheese. Fold the other half of tortilla over and repeat with remaining ingredients.
- Grill for 3-4 minutes or until cheese has melted and tortillas are browned. Do not overgrill as cheese and pesto will start oozing out and cranberry sauce can make quesadilla soggy.
- Using large spatula transfer onto a cutting board, wait 2 minutes and cut in half. Serve.
Notes
- Using a skillet: You can cook tortillas in large preheated skillet, flipping once with a large spatula.
- Don't overcook and let cool: This is when quesadillas stay thick, have cheese and hold their shape better.
