Things You'll Need:
- 1 lb. ground turkey
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 1 package flour tortillas
- about 1.5 cups shredded cheese
- olive oil
- non-stick skillet that's large enough to fit tortillas
- spatula

Step 1
Browned turkey on paper towel lined plate.In a non-stick skillet, brown ground turkey over medium heat while breaking it up with a spatula/fork until no longer pink. Drain fat. Remove meat from skillet and set onto a plate lined with a paper towel to soak up the remaining fat.
-
Step 2
Softened sliced onions.In the same skillet, saute the sliced onions in a few tablespoons of olive oil for 7-8 minutes over medium-low heat or until softened and somewhat translucent. Remove softened onions from skillet and set aside.
-
Step 3
Layering of quesadilla.Place one flour tortilla in your skillet, which should have leftover oils from the cooked onions and meat. Spread a layer of the browned ground turkey onto the tortilla, and add a layer of the softened onions. Top the meat and onions with a layer of shredded cheese. Finish the quesadilla by adding another tortilla on top.
-
Step 4
Tortillas are golden brown and cheese is melted.Allow quesadilla to cook over medium-low to medium heat for 3-5 minutes until cheese begins to melt. Press down on quesadilla with a spatula to aid in the cooking process. Once cheese begins to melt and bottom tortilla looks golden brown, use a spatula to carefully flip over quesadilla to cook other side. Quesadilla is finished when cheese is melted and both tortillas are golden brown. Repeat steps 3 & 4 with remaining meat and onions. Cut finished quesadillas into triangles and serve immediately.
