Serves1

Ingredients

Ground turkey – I used 93/7

Shredded Mexican cheese

Salsa

Jalapenos

  • 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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. While your skillet is heating, begin to assemble your quesadillas.
  4. Starting with a tortilla, add half of the cheese onto one half of the tortilla.
  5. Top with ground turkey, salsa, and jalapenos (optional). Then top with the remaining cheese.
  6. Fold the over the tortilla so that it’s in a half-moon shape.
  7. Add the quesadilla to the skillet and cook both sides until golden brown and crispy and the cheese is fully melted on the inside.
  8. Cut the quesadilla in half and enjoy!
