Ingredients

1 lb ground turkey
6 eggs
1 cup shredded Mexican cheese
8 flour tortillas
2 green onions, sliced
1 cup salsa, for serving

From your pantry: 1 tsp oil, 1 tsp dried sage, ½ tsp fennel seed, 1 tsp smoked paprika, ½ tsp garlic powder, ¼ tsp red pepper flakes, 1 tsp salt, pepper.

Instructions

Mix the turkey with the sage, fennel, paprika, garlic powder, pepper flakes, ¾ tsp salt and some pepper. Brown it in the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high, breaking it up, until no pink remains, 6 to 7 minutes. Move to a bowl.
Lower the heat to medium-low. Beat the eggs with a pinch of salt, pour into the skillet and stir gently until softly set, 2 minutes. Stir in the turkey and green onions.
Wipe the skillet and set it over medium. Lay in a tortilla, sprinkle cheese over half, top with an eighth of the filling and a little more cheese, then fold it closed.
Cook until golden and crisp, 2 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula so the cheese melts and seals it. Repeat with the rest, two at a time if they fit.
Cut each half-moon in two and serve with salsa.

Tip: Make a double batch of the filling and freeze the folded, uncooked quesadillas between parchment. Cook from frozen over medium-low, 4 minutes per side.
