Leftover Turkey Ranch Quesadilla

Have some left over Thanksgiving Turkey? Here is a recipe for YOU! What more could you ask for after Thanksgiving Day then to get rid of some turkey and have a meal that only takes 10 minutes! This is a must try recipe and can easily be made any night of the week using left over rotisserie chicken, chicken breast or even pork loin.

Ingredients

         2 - 6 inch soft shell Taco shells

         1/2 cup of Turkey (Any chopped up chicken or pork loin would do)

         1/2 cup of Shredded Cheddar Cheese

         1/2 cup of Ranch Dressing (low fat, fat free or regular whatever you prefer)

         For A Spicy Ranch Turkey Quesdilla

***(other option 1/4 cup of Ranch Dressing and 1/4 cup of Taco Sauce)***

***(other option 1/4 cup of Shredded Monterey Jack and 1/4 cup of Shredded Cheddar Cheese)***

Directions and Photos

Step One

To a small mixing bowl add Turkey, Cheese and Ranch Dressing. (If doing the Spicy Ranch Quesadilla use 1/4 cup of Ranch Dressing and a 1/4 cup of Taco Sauce)

Turn your oven broiler on high. Stir the Quesadilla mixture together.

Spread the Quesadilla mixture onto one of the soft taco shell and spread within 1/4 inch from the edge of the shell.

This is what it should look like. (You don't want to spread it to the edge to far because when you go to cut the Quesadilla the mixture will spread to the edges.)

 Step Two

Place the Quesadilla under the broiler for about 1 minute just to warm the mixture/melt the cheese a little and warm other taco shell.

Leave your oven door open a crack to keep an eye on the Quesadilla. These will cook fast and can burn easily so do not take your eyes off of it!

After a minute under the broiler the cheese should be starting to melt a little like this and the other shell should be warmed.

Now take the other taco shell and flip it over onto the mixture to cover it.

Place the Quesadilla under the broiler again for 1 to 2 minutes until starting to brown. (All broilers are different and some cook faster. This is why you keep the oven door open and have to watch it.)

Once the Quesadilla starts to brown remove it from the oven and using a spatula flip the quesadilla over.

Place the Quesadilla back under the broiler for 1-2 minutes to brown the other side.

Once the other side is brown remove from the oven, cut, let cool for a couple minutes and serve!
(As you can see after cutting the Quesadilla the mixture has spread to the outer edges)

And there you have it...My family's favorite after Thanksgiving meal Turkey Ranch Quesadilla's!
