Turkey Reuben Quesadilla


INGREDIENTS:
  • 1 Large Tortilla Factory Smart & Delicious Low Carb/High Fiber tortilla
  • 1 ounce (about 2 slices) 98 percent fat-free turkey breast slices
  • 1 slice reduced-fat Swiss cheese
  • 2 tablespoons fat-free thousand island dressing
  • optional: additional sauerkraut

DIRECTIONS:
  1. Cut cheese slice into four triangles.  Set aside.
  2. Lay tortilla flat and spread dressing over it, leaving about 1/2-inch of space around the perimeter.  Arrange the cheese triangles on one half of the tortilla.
  3. Spray a medium-large pan with nonstick spray and bring to medium heat.  Place tortilla flat in the pan with the dressing-covered, cheese-topped side facing up.
  4. Once the cheese has begun to melt, top the cheese with turkey slices and sauerkraut, adding additional sauerkraut, if you like.  Using a spatula, carefully fold the dressing-only half over the other half, pressing down lightly with the spatula to seal.
  5. Continue cooking for about a minute, or until bottom is slightly toasted.  Flip tortilla and continue cooking for about 1 additional minute, or until desired level of toasty-ness is reached.  Remove from heat and cut.
