A quick and easy recipe combining creamy brie, savory turkey, and tangy cranberry salsa for a delicious and festive dish perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 flour tortillas
  • 1 cup cooked turkey, shredded or thinly sliced
  • 4 ounces brie cheese, sliced thinly
  • 1 cup fresh cranberries
  • 1/4 cup red onion, diced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1/2 jalapeño, diced
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the cranberry salsa: In a food processor, pulse fresh cranberries, diced red onion, fresh cilantro, lime juice, honey, and diced jalapeño until chunky but combined. Adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, or additional honey as desired.
  2. Prep the ingredients: Slice the brie into thin pieces and shred or slice the cooked turkey. Set aside.
  3. Heat the skillet: Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat and allow it to warm up for a minute or two.
  4. Assemble the quesadillas: Lay a flour tortilla flat on a plate or cutting board. Add a layer of brie slices on one half of the tortilla, top with shredded turkey, and spoon a generous amount of cranberry salsa on top. Fold the tortilla in half to create a semicircle.
  5. Cook the quesadillas: Lightly grease the skillet with cooking spray or a small amount of butter. Place the folded tortilla in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese has melted. Use a spatula to press gently while cooking.
  6. Slice and serve: Remove the cooked quesadilla from the skillet, let it cool slightly, and slice into wedges. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.

Notes

[‘Don’t overstuff the quesadillas to avoid difficulty flipping.’, ‘Preheat the skillet to ensure crispy tortillas.’, ‘Chill brie in the freezer for easier slicing.’, ‘Customize the salsa by adjusting spice or sweetness levels.’, ‘Keep quesadillas warm in a 200°F oven if cooking in batches.’]
