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!
