Leftover Thanksgiving Turkey Quesadilla: Leftover turkey cranberry sauce is accompanied by sharp cheese in a quick and easy quesadilla.
I'm a HUGE fan of Thanksgiving leftovers. I have deliberately planned my menu to make sure I have lots of leftovers - that means extra-large turkey, extra cranberry sauce, extra mashed potatoes, and of course, an extra sweet potato casserole.
How to transform thanksgiving leftovers into an easy cranberry turkey quesadilla
The players: leftover turkey, leftover cranberry sauce, aperitif cheese, Dijon mustard, and whole wheat tortilla.Coat a little mustard on the tortilla, slap a little cranberry sauce, throw a handful of roast turkey, and as much or as little cheese as you'd like. Fold it and heat slowly over medium heat in a pan until the cheese is melted.
A few notes on this quick and easy quesadilla using thanksgiving leftovers
- If you need it to be gluten-free, use a gluten-free tortilla.
- I like to use strong cheddar or smoked Gouda, but white cheddar, Colby, or even mozzarella will work in this Quesadilla with turkey and cheese.
- Forget the Dijon mustard for a milder flavor or to make it more suitable for children!
