instructions
    1

    Begin by chopping the bell pepper and onion into small pieces.

    2

    Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the chopped bell pepper and onion. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until they soften.

    3

    Add the chopped turkey to the skillet and stir well. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.

    4

    On a clean surface, place one tortilla and spread half of the cooked turkey and vegetable mixture evenly across it. Top with half of the cheese.

    5

    Cover with another tortilla. Allow to cook for about 2 minutes or until the bottom tortilla is golden brown.

    6

    Carefully flip the quesadilla using a spatula, and cook for another 2-3 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the second tortilla is golden brown.

    7

    Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients to make the second quesadilla.

    8

    Cut each quesadilla into wedges and serve with salsa on the side.
