Recipe: {Skinnier} Quesadillas w/ ground turkey

Yup, you read that right. We used ground turkey. NO! Don't exit out! I promise you won't miss the ground beef. You truthfully can't even tell the different. I know, I know....I sound like eeeverybody else. But I'm serious. I wouldn't lie to you. I bet you can trick your men!!

I put this recipe into My Fitness Pal and it told me that each serving is 746 calories. And, I'd like to tell you that odds are you won't be able to eat a full one. Neither Mike nor I could finish ours. I ate half of mine and he could only finish 3/4 of his.

The best part about this recipe, besides the fact that it's a skinnier version, is that it's perfect for the week night. It takes no time at all and you can't go wrong with quesadillas. It's everyone's favorite.

water (for seasoning)

2 tbsp cilantro, chopped

1 cup (reduced fat) cheddar cheese, shredded
