Whether you’re looking for a quick lunch or a casual dinner, these turkey apple quesadillas are sure to please everyone around the kitchen table.
Ingredients
- 1 medium sized tortilla
- 3-4 slices turkey
- 2-3 slices cheese – monterey jack or provolone works great! Munster is good too.
- 2-3 tbsp goat cheese (or drunken goat cheese!!)
- 1/2 medium apple, thinly sliced (I used fuji – slice enough for a crunch but no thicker!)
- 1 tbsp butter
Directions
1. Heat tortilla in microwave for 9-12 seconds, so that it doesn’t crack when folded.
2. Spreadh goat cheese on 1/2 of the tortilla. The goat cheese doesn’t need to coat the entire side.
3. Layer the turkey, then the apple slices, then the cheese slices and fold the tortilla.
4. Melt butter on medium heat in a skillet.
5. Once the butter is melted, place the tortilla in the pan, pressing down occasionally with a spatula. After the side is browned (1-2 minutes), flip and repeat. Once both sides are browned, remove from pan and enjoy!
Substitutions
- Change up the meat by using chicken, buffalo chicken, or even ham or roast beef!
- Pear would be a great substitute for apple – even peach could work
- Brie would be a great cheese substitute as well
