Turkey Leftovers Quesadilla
This Thanksgiving, serve your turkey leftovers quesadilla-style and everybody will sit up and notice!
We all need some ideas to use up the extra food from the big feast, and this Turkey leftovers Quesadilla is the solution.
Skip the sandwich and use this Thanksgiving leftover recipe instead. It’s a change from sandwiches.
I make so much food for the big feast, and we end up with soooo many leftovers. They crowd the fridge and call out to you for days, begging to be eaten.
CJ adores having leftovers, but ways to use them up in a creative manner is always helpful.
It’s the perfect way to use up all that turkey and also have something really fun to eat that doesn’t make you feel like you’re eating leftovers.
Take all the flavors of Thanksgiving (turkey, cheese, cranberry sauce, and sage) and melt them in the middle of low carb tortillas.
WHY YOU’LL LOVE THIS RECIPE:
- It’s budget-friendly: No need to spend a lot on ingredients. Maybe you already have leftover cheese from Thanksgiving appetizers, and low carb tortillas are pretty inexpensive. There you go! The rest comes from holiday leftovers.
- It’s unexpected: Fight food fatigue with something different. Even the most delicious turkey sandwich gets old after the fourth or fifth one. It’s quick and easy!
- No casserole to bake this time. These quesadilla are easy to make on the stove top or even microwave, and are ready in just a few minutes. After preparing your holiday meal, don’t you deserve a break?!
