Turkey Quesadillas

Is your fridge full of leftover turkey? Don’t fret! Make your way to the kitchen for these adorable turkey quesadillas that you’ll *GOBBLE* right up! All you need are some tortillas, butter, chest, turkey, a carrot stick, and candy eyes or raisins. Combine these ingredients for a meal that will come to life right before your eyes!

All You Need!

  • 2 whole grain tortillas
  • 2 Tbsp butter
  • 1⁄2 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1⁄2 cup turkey, cooked
  • 1 carrot stick
  • 2 candy eyes or raisins
  • 1 yellow chocolate covered sunflower seed (optional)

Things to Grab!

  • Butter knife
  • Measuring Cups
  • Griddle or skillet 
  • Cutting board
  • Pizza Cutter

All You Do!

  1. Turn on griddle or skillet over medium heat.

  2. Meanwhile, spread softened butter onto your whole grain tortillas, but only on one side of each.

  3. Lay 1 tortilla down (butter side down) onto heated griddle. Top with cheese, turkey, and other tortilla (butter side up). Cook on each side for about 3 minutes or until cheese has melted and tortilla has turned a golden brown.

  4. Remove creation from the griddle and set on a plate or cutting board. Using a pizza cutter you will cut your quesadilla just like a pizza. You will make an “X,” then cut one line across or horizontally, and then one line up and down or vertically.

  5. Decorate your quesadilla with a turkey face if you’d like! ENJOY!
