MINNEAPOLIS, Minnesota — Black Friday quesadillas
Serves 4
- ½ lb. (about 1 ½ cups) shredded leftover roast turkey
- 1 cup (approx.) leftover side dish(es), such as prepared stuffing, roasted sweet potatoes, butternut squash or mashed potatoes (or combination)
- 5-6 oz. shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 4 (8") flour tortillas
- pastry brush
- canola oil
- garnishes: chopped fresh herbs (such as rosemary, sage or thyme) and apple salsa or cranberry sauce
Gently warm turkey and leftover side(s) in the microwave.
Sprinkle about ⅓ cup turkey, ¼ cup side dish(es) and 2 tbsp. cheese on half of each tortilla.
Fold tortillas in half; press gently. Using a pastry brush, very lightly brush both sides of each tortilla with a bit of oil.
Heat a nonstick grill pan or griddle over medium heat; cook tortillas 2-3 at a time until cheese melts and tortillas turn golden and lightly crispy (about 4 minutes total), turning once.
Let quesadillas rest for 1 minute before cutting each into wedges. Garnish with herbs; serve with salsa.
