Thanksgiving leftover quesadilla recipe from Tierra Neubaum | FOX 7 Austin

cheddar cheese

🥗Healthier: reduced-fat cheese

💰Cheaper: monterey jack cheese

Reduced-fat cheese lowers calories while still providing flavor.

cooked turkey

🥗Healthier: shredded chicken

💰Cheaper: canned chicken

Canned chicken is often more affordable and convenient.

stuffing

🥗Healthier: quinoa

💰Cheaper: bread crumbs

Quinoa is a healthier option with more protein.

cranberry sauce

🥗Healthier: homemade cranberry sauce

💰Cheaper: jelly

Homemade can be healthier and less processed.

Heat a skillet over medium heat.

Spread butter on one side of a tortilla.

Place the tortilla butter-side down in the skillet.

Layer cooked turkey, stuffing, and cheeses on half of the tortilla.

Add a spoonful of cranberry sauce and sprinkle with green onions.

Fold the tortilla over to cover the filling.

Cook until the bottom is golden brown, about 3-4 minutes.

Flip the quesadilla carefully and cook the other side until golden and the cheese is melted, about 3-4 minutes more.

Remove from the skillet and let cool for a minute before slicing.

Serve warm with extra cranberry sauce on the side.
