Ingredients

• 1 c. chopped red onion
• 1 to 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 c. julienned zucchini
• 1 c. salsa
• 1 c. frozen corn
• 1 c. julienned sweet red pepper
• 1 can (4 oz.) chopped green chilies
• 2 T. minced fresh cilantro or parsley
• 1/2 t. dried oregano

• 1/4 t. salt
• 1/8 t. cayenne pepper
• 8 flour tortillas (8 inches)
• 2 cups (8 ounces) shredded reduced-fat Mexican cheese blend or cheddar cheese

Preparation

Step 1

In a nonstick skillet, cook turkey, onion and garlic over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Add zucchini, salsa, corn, red pepper and chilies. Reduce heat; cover and simmer until vegetables are tender. Stir in the seasonings.

For each quesadilla, place one tortilla in an ungreased nonstick skillet. Sprinkle with 1 1/2 c. turkey mixture and 1/4 c. cheese; cover with another tortilla. Cook over medium heat, carefully turning once, until lightly browned on both sides and cheese begins to melt. Cut into eight wedges.
