Ingredients

  • 2 flour tortillas
  • 1/2 cup shredded Swiss cheese
  • 1/2 cup sliced Turkey

  • Spread cranberry sauce over the turkey layer.
  • Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese over the cranberry sauce.
  • Top with the second tortilla
  • Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the quesadilla to the skillet. Fry until the bottom tortilla is golden brown. Flip and grill the other side until it is golden brown.
