Ingredients
Ground Turkey Quesadilla
- 1 pound ground turkey (I used 97% lean, 7% fat ground turkey)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or bacon grease
- 1 heaping teaspoon sage ground
- ¼ teaspoon Hungarian paprika or regular paprika, hot
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- 3-4 garlic cloves, finely minced
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- 4 flour tortilla large
- 4 cups cheddar cheese I grate my own, shredded
- cooking spray
Mustard Crema
- ⅓ cup crema
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard country style
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- ⅛ teaspoon ground mustard
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
Quesadilla
- Melt bacon grease (or heat olive oil) in a large pan over medium heat. Add ground turkey and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally and using a spoon to break the turkey into smaller pieces.
- Add the minced garlic, ground sage, hot Hungarian paprika, and onion powder. Stir and cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the turkey is cooked through.
- Remove pan from heat. Taste and add a few dashes of salt and pepper until you’re satisfied with the seasoning.
- Lay a tortilla on a cutting board and sprinkle half with ½ cup shredded cheese. Top with a quarter of the cooked ground turkey. Finish by sprinkling with another ½cup shredded cheese.
- Fold the naked half of the tortilla over the top of the side with fillings. Repeat the step above with the remaining quesadillas.
- Heat a large pan or griddle to medium heat. When warmed up, spritz the surface with cooking spray.
- Add quesadillas and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until crisp and toasty looking (you may need to cook one at a time, depending on the size of your cooking surface).
- Remove from heat and cut into four slices. Serve with Mustard Crema.
Mustard Crema
- Add crema, mustard, onion powder, and ground mustard to a bowl and whisk to combine.
- Taste and add salt and black pepper as you see fit.
