Ingredients

• 2 cups Cooked turkey breast
• 1 cup Roasted red bell peppers
• 1.5 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1.5 cups Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
• 4 pieces Flour tortillas (10-inch)
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoons Chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
• 0.5 cup Sour cream (for serving)
• 0.5 cup Salsa (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Shred the cooked turkey breast into bite-sized pieces and place it in a mixing bowl.

Step 2

Chop the roasted red bell peppers into small strips and add them to the bowl with the turkey.

Step 3

Season the turkey and peppers with chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to coat evenly.

Step 4

Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

Step 5

Place one tortilla on a clean surface and evenly sprinkle 1/4 cup of shredded Cheddar cheese and 1/4 cup of shredded Monterey Jack cheese over half of the tortilla.

Step 6

Add a quarter of the seasoned turkey and roasted pepper mixture on top of the cheese. Sprinkle with a little fresh cilantro, if using.

Step 7

Fold the tortilla in half over the filling to form a semicircle.

Step 8

Transfer the assembled quesadilla to the heated skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is melted.

Step 9

Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling, adding more olive oil to the skillet as needed.

Step 10

Cut each quesadilla into thirds or quarters and serve warm with sour cream and salsa on the side.
