Title: Turkey Quesadillas with Avocado Cream
Categories: Main, Dish
Yield: 4 Servings

TURKEY QUESADILLAS-----
8 Flour tortillas -- 7"
4 oz Cheese, jack -- shredded
1 c Turkey, cooked -- shredded
4 lg Mushrooms -- thinly sliced
1/4 c Red Bell peppers -- diced
4 Green onions
2 tb Parsley -- finely chopped
AVOCADO CREAM-----
1 Avocadoes
2 tb Lime juice
1/2 c Yogurt
Salt -- to taste
GARNISH-----
2 Limes
Cilantro sprigs

Trim green onions of roots and all but 2" of green, then slice very thinly.

Place half of tortillas on work surface and sprinkle each with 1/2 oz
cheese, making sure it is evenly distributed over the tortilla surface.
Scatter 1/4 c shredded turkey over each tortilla, then sprinkle each evenly
with mushrooms, red bell pepper, green onions, and parsley. Divide
remaining cheese among the tortillas, covering each with 1/2 oz cheese. Top
each with 1 remaining tortilla, creating a sandwich. Press down on
tortillas with the palm of your hand.

Make Avocado Cream: peel and seed avocado, then cut into large pieces.
Process ingredients in food processor until completely smooth. Scrape into
bowl; salt to taste and serve. Makes 1/4 c per serving.

Heat dry nonstick skillet over medium heat until very hot. Using large
spatula, place a quesadilla in skillet. Pressing down with spatula, cook
until cheese melts and tortilla browns slightly, about 2-3 minutes per
side; remove from skillet. Repeat process with remaining quesadillas.

Cut each quesadilla into quarters and serve immediately, garnished with
quartered limes, cilantro sprigs, and a dollop of Avocado Cream.

There's barely any cooking needed for these quesadillas once the
ingredients are placed between the tortillas. All it takes is a quick saute
in a dry skillet to finish up this delicious dish. My refined Avocado Cream
on top is a lovely contrast to the crispy tortillas. If desired, serve a
bowl of your favorite salsa alongside.
