Ingredients

• 4 pieces Flour tortillas
• 2 cups Cooked turkey (shredded or chopped)
• 0.5 cup Cranberry sauce
• 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 1 cup Fresh spinach (optional)
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 2

Spread a thin layer of butter on one side of each tortilla.

Step 3

Place one of the tortillas, buttered side down, onto the hot skillet.

Step 4

Sprinkle 1/4 cup of cheddar cheese and 1/4 cup of mozzarella cheese evenly over half of the tortilla.

Step 5

Top the cheese with 1/2 cup of shredded turkey and 2 tablespoons of cranberry sauce. If using spinach, add 1/4 cup of fresh leaves now.

Step 6

Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper for added flavor.

Step 7

Fold the tortilla in half to cover the filling, pressing gently with a spatula to ensure it holds together.

Step 8

Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side or until the tortilla is golden brown and crispy. Carefully flip the quesadilla and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side until the cheese is melted and the other side is golden brown.

Step 9

Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and let it cool for 1-2 minutes before slicing it into wedges.

Step 10

Repeat with the remaining tortillas and ingredients to make additional quesadillas.

Step 11

Serve warm with extra cranberry sauce or your favorite dipping sauce on the side.
