    QUESADILLA LOVE RIGHT HERE WITH MORE GREAT RECIPES!!

    I'm Vegan. Can I Enjoy A Vegan or Vegetarian Version?

    Absolutely! You could omit the turkey all together to make a vegan or vegetarian version, or substitute vegan turkey for the turkey in this recipe. Omitting the turkey also makes these only five ingredients!

    Can You Use Dairy Free Cheese?

    Yes! There are many good dairy free cheeses on the market now and you could easily substitute dairy free mozzarella.

    Can You Make and Freeze These Ahead of Time?

    I'm going to go with....it depends. I have made and frozen them before and they did great. But in my opinion the winning combo for taste was to use frozen butternut squash and fresh kale. I assembled all of the quesadillas ahead of time and then put them in the freezer. But using the frozen squash and fresh kale prior to freezing was the best once thawed and cooked.

    Preparing

    You could microwave these but for a nice crispy tortilla I would consider grilling these or oven baking for best results.

    Storing

    I think these are best served hot off the grill or out of the oven but it's personal preference. I've also had them as a next day lunch and while they aren't quite as tasty they are pretty good!
