Description

Delicious and easy Buffalo Turkey Quesadillas packed with flavor!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound lean ground turkey
  • 1/2 cup buffalo sauce
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese blend
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 1/2 cup sour cream (for serving)
  • 2 green onions, chopped (for topping)
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Cook the turkey: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground turkey until browned and no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Add the sauce: Stir in the buffalo sauce, allowing it to simmer for an additional 2 minutes.
  3. Prepare tortillas: Lay a tortilla flat, sprinkle one side with cheese, then add a generous spoonful of the turkey mixture and top with more cheese before folding.
  4. Cook quesadillas: In the same skillet, cook each folded quesadilla for about 3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
  5. Serve: Slice into wedges and top with sour cream and chopped green onions.

Notes

  • Feel free to substitute chicken or beef if preferred.
