Turkey Quesadillas

Here we are….finally made it to the last stop on our journey to create an ethnic meal out of our Thanksgiving leftovers.  Mexico!  What a great place to try and get creative with that leftover, semi-dry turkey breast staring at you from the bottom shelf of the refrigerator.  Super easy and a great alternative to the traditional, staple “next day” meals such as the  turkey sandwich, or turkey soup…..I hope you like it
