Ingredients
  

2 large flour tortillas

1 cup cooked turkey, shredded or diced

1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella are both excellent choices)

1/4 cup cream cheese, softened to room temperature

1/4 cup diced bell peppers (utilize any color for a vibrant dish)

1/4 cup corn (can be fresh, frozen, or canned)

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and black pepper, to taste

1 tablespoon olive oil or butter (for cooking)

Optional: Sour cream or salsa for dipping

Instructions
 

Prepare the Filling: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the shredded turkey, shredded cheese, softened cream cheese, diced bell peppers, corn, garlic powder, onion powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir until thoroughly mixed. This creamy mixture will create a delightful, flavorful filling that both kids and adults will enjoy.

    Assemble the Quesadillas: Place one tortilla on a clean surface or cutting board. Using a spoon, spread half of the turkey and cheese mixture on one half of the tortilla. Fold the empty half over the filling to create a half-moon shape. Repeat this process with the second tortilla and the remaining filling.

      Cook the Quesadillas: Heat the olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add one of the quesadillas to the skillet. Cook for approximately 3-4 minutes or until the bottom is golden brown and crispy. Use a spatula to flip the quesadilla gently and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes on the other side, or until it is golden and the cheese has fully melted.

        Finish and Serve: After cooking, remove the quesadilla from the skillet and let it cool for about a minute before slicing it into wedges. Repeat the cooking process with the second quesadilla. Serve them warm, accompanied by side dishes of sour cream or salsa for dipping.

          Enjoy: Gather everyone around the table and savor these delightful, cheesy turkey quesadillas, guaranteed to be a family favorite!
