Equipment
- Griddle pan (or frying pan)
- Toastie Maker / Sandwich Press (optional)

Instructions
- Sprinkle the grated cheese over half of a tortilla.

- Top with cranberry sauce and other ingredients you fancy. I added some fresh coriander and some chopped cherry tomatoes.
- Add some extra grated cheese and fold the tortilla in half.
- Place the griddle pan/ frying pan on medium heat. When hot add the folded tortilla to the pan. You can use another frying pan to flatten it.
- Cook until the turkey quesadilla is golden on both sides and the cheese is melted.
- Transfer to a cutting board, cut up and serve while hot. Or you can leave it to cool and enjoy it cold.
