Turkey Quesadillas with Avocado Cream
- TURKEY QUESADILLAS-----
- 8 Flour tortillas -- 7"
- 4 oz Cheese, jack -- shredded
- 1 c Turkey, cooked -- shredded
- 4 lg Mushrooms -- thinly sliced
- 1/4 c Red Bell peppers -- diced
- 4 Green onions
- 2 tb Parsley -- finely chopped
- AVOCADO CREAM-----
- 1 Avocadoes
- 2 tb Lime juice
- 1/2 c Yogurt
- Salt -- to taste
- GARNISH-----
- 2 Limes
- Cilantro sprigs
Trim green onions of roots and all but 2" of green, then slice very thinly.
Place half of tortillas on work surface and sprinkle each with 1/2 oz
cheese, making sure it is evenly distributed over the tortilla surface.
Scatter 1/4 c shredded turkey over each tortilla, then sprinkle each evenly
with mushrooms, red bell pepper, green onions, and parsley. Divide
remaining cheese among the tortillas, covering each with 1/2 oz cheese. Top
each with 1 remaining tortilla, creating a sandwich. Press down on
tortillas with the palm of your hand.
Make Avocado Cream: peel and seed avocado, then cut into large pieces.
Process ingredients in food processor until completely smooth. Scrape into
bowl; salt to taste and serve. Makes 1/4 c per serving.
Heat dry nonstick skillet over medium heat until very hot. Using large
spatula, place a quesadilla in skillet. Pressing down with spatula, cook
until cheese melts and tortilla browns slightly, about 2-3 minutes per
side; remove from skillet. Repeat process with remaining quesadillas.
Cut each quesadilla into quarters and serve immediately, garnished with
quartered limes, cilantro sprigs, and a dollop of Avocado Cream.
There's barely any cooking needed for these quesadillas once the
ingredients are placed between the tortillas. All it takes is a quick saute
in a dry skillet to finish up this delicious dish. My refined Avocado Cream
on top is a lovely contrast to the crispy tortillas. If desired, serve a
bowl of your favorite salsa alongside.
