Instructions
In a bowl, mix turkey, cheese, corn, onions, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Place a tortilla in a pan on medium heat, add a generous layer of the turkey mixture on one half of the tortilla, then fold it over. Add a little butter or oil to the pan and cook each side for 2–3 minutes until golden brown and the cheese is melted. Cut into triangles and serve with salsa, guacamole, or sour cream.
Tips for Best Quesadillas
Use leftover turkey breast or dark meat—both work great. Add jalapeños for a spicy kick. For extra creaminess, add a spoon of cream cheese inside. Brush the outside with a little oil before cooking for a crispier finish.
