Notes

    • If you can help it, try to avoid using shredded cheese unless you shred it yourself. It has a coating on it that can prevent even, silky melting.
    • You can make these into gluten free turkey quesadillas by using corn tortillas. Just make sure that the stuffing is also gluten free!
    • Make sure to serve them with a generous helping of turkey gravy to dip the slices in!
    • I recommend a mild, creamy, and fairly dense brie, such as fromage d'affinois or other small rounds of brie. Avoid very light, fluffy cheeses, as the soft buttery inside melts down to be too liquidy for quesadillas.
    • I cut my Thanksgiving quesadillas into eight slices, and serve four slices per person. The nutrition is based off of a single slice out of 8 slices, and can vary based on your specific leftovers. Keep that in mind!
