Leftover Smoked Turkey Quesadillas

Ingredients

  • Cannings free range Smoked Turkey Breast
  • 2 tomatoes (add more if you're making lots of quesadillas)
  • 1 red onion
  • 1 avocado
  • Small flour tortillas (2 per quesadilla)
  • 1 lime (more if you're making lots)
  • Garlic
  • Your favourite hot sauce - we like to use green jalapeno Tabasco hot sauce
  • Coriander (optional)
  • Salt and pepper
  • Paprika
  • Cumin

Method

  1. Cut one thick one thick slice of turkey per quesadilla and chop into rough cubes. Finely dice one clove of garlic per quesadilla.
  2. Make your salsa by finely dicing the tomato and onion. Mix together in a bowl with a big squeeze of lime juice, plus salt and pepper to taste. If you like coriander, chop finely and add some in as well! 
  3. Dice the avocado, and add to another bowl with a squeeze of lime
  4. On the stove, heat a drizzle of olive oil and fry your garlic for about a minute before adding your turkey and 1 - 2 spoonfuls of salsa in a frypan. Add a sprinkle of paprika, cumin, and a little bit of hot sauce. Cook until heated through and fragrant, then remove. 
  5. Give your pan a wipe down, then add one tortilla, top with turkey mix, then a handful of grated cheese, topped with another tortilla. Let this toast until nice and brown, then flip and toast on the other side. Do this for as many quesadillas as you'd like to make.
  6. Remove from the heat and slice, then top with salsa and avocado. Enjoy!
