Turkey Cheese Quesadillas (serves 2)**
2 flour tortillas (10-inch)
  melted butter (about 2 teaspoons)
1/2 cup cooked turkey, shredded, diced, sliced, chopped
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1/2cup shredded Mexican blend cheese
Fruit salsa, optional

Preheat oven to 375° F. Lightly brush one side of tortillas with butter. Place 1 tortilla, butter side down, on baking sheet; arrange turkey on tortilla; sprinkle with chopped cilantro; sprinkle with shredded cheese. Top with second tortilla, butter side up; press tortillas firmly together. Bake approximately 10 minutes or until heated through and edges begin to crisp. Turn Quesadilla over and continue to bake 5 minutes longer or until bottom tortilla is crisp. Cut in quarters and serve with optional fruit salsa.

NOTES:
Leftover turkey should be used within 3-4 days; stuffing should be removed from turkey and refrigerated separately, use stuffing or dressing and leftover gravy within 2 days.
May use reduced fat cheese for the same calcium, but 4 grams less fat(note-flavor will change).
