Equipment
- 1 Large Skillet Made In Cookware is my top choice
- 1 Spatula or meat mincer
- Measuring cups
Ingredients
- 1 Flour tortilla I used Mission Carb Balance to reduce the carbs & calories
- 4 oz ground turkey - I used 93/7
- ¼ cup shredded Mexican cheese
- 2 tbsp salsa
- Jalapenos - optional
Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook your ground turkey using a spatula or meat mincer to chop it into a fine crumble. Cook until no longer pink. Drain any excess liquid.
- Pour your cooked ground turkey into a bowl and place your skillet back on the stovetop with the heat set to medium. *Give your pan a quick spray of cooking spray if it’s not a non-stick pan.
- While your skillet is heating, begin to assemble your quesadillas.
- Starting with a tortilla, add half of the cheese onto one half of the tortilla.
- Top with ground turkey, salsa, and jalapenos (optional). Then top with the remaining cheese.
- Fold the over the tortilla so that it’s in a half-moon shape.
- Add the quesadilla to the skillet and cook both sides until golden brown and crispy and the cheese is fully melted on the inside.
- Cut the quesadilla in half and enjoy!
Notes
Use your spatula or hand to gently condense your quesadilla while it’s crisping in your skillet.
