BBQ Turkey Quesadillas

BBQ Turkey Quesadillas combine diced cooked turkey, sautéed red bell pepper and green onion, coated in BBQ sauce, then layered with shredded cheese and caramelized onion jam inside flour tortillas. Grilled until the cheese melts and tortillas develop grill marks, they yield a balance of smoky, sweet, and savory flavors with a melty texture inside and slight crispness outside. The onion jam adds a rich sweetness complementing the tangy barbecue flavor.
