BBQ Turkey Quesadillas
Description
The BBQ Turkey Quesadillas recipe uses cooked turkey breast diced and quickly sautéed with finely diced red bell pepper and green onion in vegetable oil. After warming through, the mixture is coated evenly with BBQ sauce. The filling is spread between two large flour tortillas layered with shredded cheese and generous spoonfuls of caramelized onion jam. The quesadilla is folded over and pressed to shape before being grilled at moderate heat.
Grilling for a few minutes on each side melts the cheese thoroughly and crisps the tortilla surfaces with evident grill marks, combining flavors of sweet onion jam, smoky BBQ sauce, mild savory turkey, and melted cheese. The diced vegetables add a fresh note and texture contrast. The quesadillas are cut into wedges and served warm, suitable as a snack, appetizer, or main dish.
