Leftover BBQ Turkey Quesadillas
Description
This recipe combines shredded turkey tossed with homemade barbecue sauce and chopped leftover vegetables. The mixture is spread over half of soft flour tortillas, topped with grated cheddar cheese, and folded before cooking in a dry pan. The quesadillas are cooked gently on each side until the exterior is lightly crisp and the cheese inside melts to bind the filling.
The dish is flexible in ingredients – barbecue sauce can be swapped with salsa or cranberry sauce, and various cheeses or green vegetables like shredded spinach can be added. If turkey is not available, shredded chicken can be used instead. The quesadillas offer a convenient way to repurpose leftovers into a warm, satisfying meal or snack.
They can also be cooked in an air fryer at 180°C for about 5-6 minutes, flipping halfway through, to achieve a crisp texture quickly. These quesadillas are best served hot to enjoy melted cheese and tender filling.
