  • Juice 1 orange
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt, divided
  • Fresh ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 tsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 TBS dried rosemary
  • 1lb ground turkey
  • 8-15 corn tortillas (6-inch diameter)
  • 2-6oz shredded mozzarella cheese, divided

 Directions

ONE: Prepare salsa: In a medium bowl, combine 2 stalks celery, ½ onion, cranberries, pear, 1 clove garlic and orange juice. Season with ¼ tsp salt and a few grinds of pepper. Set aside.

TWO: In a large nonstick skillet, heat oil on medium for 1 minute. Add remaining celery and onion and sauté, stirring occasionally, for 3 minutes. Stir in rosemary and remaining garlic and ¼ tsp salt and sauté for 2 minutes. Add turkey and cook for 5 minutes, stirring and breaking up turkey with a wooden spoon. With a fine-mesh colander, drain turkey mixture. Transfer mixture to a large bowl.

THREE: Wipe out skillet. Return skillet to medium heat. Working in batches, add tortillas to skillet. Top each with ¼ cup turkey mixture and 1/2 tbsp cheese and cook undisturbed for 3 minutes. With a heatproof spatula, gently fold 1 side of each tortilla over to make half-circles. Cook for 1 minute, lightly pressing top of tortillas with spatula if necessary to hold its shape. Divide quesadillas among serving plates and serve ½ cup salsa alongside
