No Ordinary Quesadilla

My mom has this amazing quesadilla maker.  Sadly, when I moved out, the quesadilla maker stayed at her house.  That's alright though, a skillet worked just fine for these sweet and savory quesadillas.  I saw Sandra Lee making them on the Food Network one day, and I thought they sounded just strange enough to be delicious.  Of course, I didn't follow her recipe exactly because brie cheese is way too expensive for me.  I like the way they turned out though!


Turkey Apricot Quesadilla

Ingredients:
2 flour tortillas
2 tablespoons apricot preserves
Deli-style smoked turkey breast
1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese

Directions:
1.  Spread apricot preserves over one flour tortilla.  Top with turkey and shredded Monterey Jack cheese.  Top with second tortilla.
2.  In a skillet coated with non-stick cooking spray, heat quesadilla for 2 to 3 minutes on each side.
