Leftover Turkey Recipes, Day 3: Entrees

I've tried to select recipes that are relatively straightforward and easy; after putting substantial effort into a holiday dinner, I'm thinking you don't want to get too elaborate with the leftovers.

TURKEY QUESADILLAS

Ingredients:

- 2 cups cooked turkey pieces, finely chopped
- 2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 1 4oz. can diced green chiles, drained
- 1 cup chopped green onion
- 6 flour tortillas (large burrito size)
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil

Preparation:

- In center of each tortilla, arrange first four ingredients in layers
- Fold all sides toward the center so the filling can't fall out
- In frying pan, heat oil over medium high heat and saute′, seam side down, until golden. Flip and saute on other side.
- Serve with salsa and a green salad.
Serves 6
