Healthy Turkey and Spinach Quesadillas
Ground turkey, fresh spinach and mozzarella cheese make up these super quick and healthy Turkey and Spinach Quesadillas. 30-minutes and done, making them perfect for lunch or dinner any day of the week.
Ingredients
- 1 1ablespoon olive oil
- 8 ounces ground turkey
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 2-3 cups fresh spinach
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- To Taste pepper
- ¼ teaspoon dried oregano
- 2 large tortillas
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese shredded
I always use Kosher salt in my kitchen! If using table salt, start with half the amount and adjust to taste, as it is much "saltier" by volume.
Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium heat add the olive oil. Once hot add in the turkey. Crumble the meat up as it cooks.
- Once the meat is browned and fully cooked add in the minced garlic and spinach. Cook for 1-2 minutes to wilt the spinach. Season with salt, pepper and dried oregano. Remove from pan.
- Sprinkle ¼ of the cheese over 1 half of a tortilla. Take half of the turkey mixture and spread it over the cheese. Sprinkle ¼ of the cheese over the turkey mixture. Fold the tortilla in half and repeat with the remaining tortilla.
- Carefully transfer one quesadilla to a preheated skillet drizzled with olive oil and cook for 60-90 seconds. Lightly coat the top tortilla with oil (lightly spray or brush with oil) flip and cook for 60-90 more.
- Transfer to a cutting board and continue with the remaining quesadilla. Cut each quesadilla into 4 equal pieces. Enjoy!
Notes
The amount of spinach is totally up to you! Use more or less than the 2-3 cups mentioned in the ingredient list!
