Yield:

8 servings (serving size: 3 wedges, about 1/4 cup salsa, and 1 tablespoon sour cream)

Ingredients

SALSA:

1 cup whole-berry cranberry sauce

1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

2 tablespoons chopped green onions

1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

1 Anjou pear, cored and finely diced

1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and minced

QUESADILLAS:

Cooking spray

1/4 cup (2-inch-thick) slices green onions

1 cup (4 ounces) shredded Monterey Jack cheese with jalapeño peppers

8 (8-inch) flour tortillas

2 cups chopped cooked turkey

1/2 cup fat-free sour creamPreparation

To prepare salsa, combine first 7 ingredients. Cover and chill.

To prepare quesadillas, heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add 1/4 cup sliced onions to pan; sauté 3 minutes or until tender. Remove onions from pan; reduce heat to medium. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons cheese over each of 4 tortillas. Top each cheese-covered tortilla with one-fourth of onions, 1/2 cup turkey, 2 tablespoons cheese, and 1 tortilla.

Recoat pan with cooking spray. Add 1 quesadilla to pan; cook 2 minutes on each side or until lightly browned and cheese melts. Repeat with remaining quesadillas. Cut each quesadilla into 6 wedges. Serve with cranberry salsa and sour cream.

Note:

This salsa is also great on turkey sandwiches. To make meatless quesadillas, use sautéed vegetables in place of the turkey.
