Deli Counter Dinner

              Don’t ignore the deli counter as an addition to your dinner menu.  I recommend trying those spicy chicken or turkey meats as part of a flavorful and quick meal.  Here is a favorite of mine.

Turkey Quesadillas

¼ - ½ lb. thinly sliced Spicy Turkey

¼ lb. thinly sliced Cheese (I like a Pepper Jack)

2 medium Tomatoes thinly sliced

1 pkg. 6” or larger Corn Tortillas (The package I purchase has 12 tortillas)

Canola Oil

1. Heat a skillet or grill pan.
2. Away from the heat, assemble the Quesadilla.  First place two slices of Cheese on one Tortilla.  Then put two slices each of the Turkey and Tomato on top of the Cheese.  Follow with two more slices of Cheese.  Finish with a second Tortilla.
3. Use about a teaspoon of Canola Oil to coat the hot skillet or grill pan.
4. Place the prepared Tortillas in the pan.  Cook until the bottom tortilla is brown and flip.  Once the other side is brown, remove from the pan and cut into four pieces for serving.

Options:

Chicken is an easy and great substitute for Turkey.

Soy Cheese can be used in place of regular Cheese.

Enjoy!

Egg-cetera

         Ham and eggs, that is what you usually think of when you think of the food served for Easter.  The ham sandwiches the next day always taste so good, but what about those extra hard boiled eggs you colored?  Well I love Deviled Eggs which are a great way to use those eggs.  Here is my recipe.

Deviled Eggs

6 Hard Boiled Eggs sliced the long way and the yolks removed

¼ c. Miracle Whip

3 dashes of Tabasco Sauce

Sweet Paprika

1. Mash the egg yolks.
2. To the mashed yolks, add the Miracle Whip and Tabasco Sauce.
3. Fill the egg halves with the yolk mixture.
4. Sprinkle the tops with Sweet Paprika.

Optional Flavors:

Chipotle Tabasco Sauce

Smoked Paprika

Serve along with your ham sandwich.
