Ingredients

1 package PERDUE® FIT & EASY® Fresh Ground Turkey Breast (1 lb.)
   Alternate Perdue Products:
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground pepper
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 cans chopped hot green chiles, drained (4 ounces each)
16 flour tortillas (8-inch size)
8 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro
1 pound Monterey Jack (4 cups) (Alternate: cheddar cheese, shredded)
Mexican-style salsa (optional)
Slivers of avocado
Tomato brushed with lemon juice (optional)
Fresh cilantro sprigs (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 300°F.
  2. In large bowl, combine ground turkey, garlic, cumin, salt and pepper. In large, heavy, nonstick skillet over medium heat, heat oil. Stir in turkey mixture; cook about 10 minutes or until no longer pink, stirring constantly to break up turkey.
  3. Add chiles to cooked turkey; stir well.
  4. Place 8 tortillas on 2 large baking sheets; brush lightly with water. Divide turkey mixture among the 8 tortillas, spreading into a thin layer almost to the edges. Sprinkle with chopped cilantro and shredded cheese; top with remaining tortillas, pressing down edges to seal. Brush tops lightly with water and bake 15 minutes.
  5. Remove from oven and cut each quesadilla into 8 wedges.
  6. Serve with Mexican-style salsa or top with sliced avocados, tomatoes and cilantro.
