This Turkey and Cheese Quesadilla is a quick and healthy meal option that combines lean deli turkey, reduced-fat mozzarella, and whole wheat tortillas, creating a delicious and satisfying snack or light meal.

Ingredients

Scale

Quesadilla

  • 2 small whole wheat tortillas
  • 4 slices lean deli turkey (4 oz total)
  • 1/4 cup shredded reduced-fat mozzarella cheese

Dip

  • 1 tbsp plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tsp hot sauce or salsa

Instructions

  1. Assemble Quesadilla: Layer the lean deli turkey and shredded reduced-fat mozzarella cheese evenly between the two whole wheat tortillas to form a sandwich.
  2. Cook Quesadilla: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place the assembled quesadilla on the skillet and cook until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is melted, about 3-4 minutes per side. Flip carefully to avoid the filling spilling out.
  3. Prepare Dip: In a small bowl, mix the plain Greek yogurt with the hot sauce or salsa to create a creamy and tangy dipping sauce.
  4. Serve: Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and let it cool slightly. Slice into wedges and serve warm with the prepared Greek yogurt and hot sauce dip.

Notes

  • For a spicier kick, increase the amount of hot sauce in the dip.
  • Use a non-stick skillet or lightly spray the pan with cooking spray for easy flipping and less mess.
  • To make it vegetarian, substitute turkey with sautéed vegetables or beans.
  • Whole wheat tortillas add fiber and nutrients compared to regular tortillas.
  • Ensure cheese is fully melted to improve texture and flavor melding.
