Kat's Turkey Avocado Cream Quesadillas

TURKEY QUESADILLAS-----
8 x Flour tortillas -- 7"
4 oz Cheese, jack -- shredded
1 cup Turkey, cooked -- shredded
4 lrg Mushrooms -- thinly sliced
1/4 cup Red Bell peppers -- diced
4 x Green onions
2 tbl Parsley -- finely chopped
    AVOCADO CREAM-----
1 x Avocadoes
2 tbl Lime juice
1/2 cup Yogurt
    Salt -- to taste
    GARNISH-----
2 x Limes
    Cilantro sprigs

 Method :
Trim green onions of roots and all but 2" of green, then slice very thinly.
Place half of tortillas on work surface and sprinkle each with 1/2 oz cheese, making sure it is evenly distributed over the tortilla surface.
Scatter 1/4 c shredded turkey over each tortilla, then sprinkle each evenly with mushrooms, red bell pepper, green onions, and parsley. Divide remaining cheese among the tortillas, covering each with 1/2 oz cheese. Top each with 1 remaining tortilla, creating a sandwich. Press down on tortillas with the palm of your hand.
Make Avocado Cream: peel and seed avocado, then cut into large pieces.
Process ingredients in food processor until completely smooth. Scrape into bowl; salt to taste and serve.
Makes 1/4 c per serving.
Heat dry nonstick skillet over medium heat until very hot. Using large spatula, place a quesadilla in skillet. Pressing down with spatula, cook until cheese melts and tortilla browns slightly, about 2-3 minutes per side; remove from skillet. Repeat process with remaining quesadillas.
Cut each quesadilla into quarters and serve immediately, garnished with quartered limes, cilantro sprigs, and a dollop of Avocado Cream.
There's barely any cooking needed for these quesadillas once the ingredients are placed between the tortillas. All it takes is a quick saute in a dry skillet to finish up this delicious dish. My refined Avocado Cream on top is a lovely contrast to the crispy tortillas. If desired, serve a bowl of your favorite salsa alongside.
