Method

Heat oil in a large skillet. Add bell peppers, cilantro, onion and jalapeno. Cook for a few minutes. Remove from pan and cool. Add turkey to the pepper/onion mixture. Spread tortillas with cream cheese. Place one slice Jack cheese onto each tortilla. Evenly distribute the turkey/onion mixture among the tortillas. Fold the tortillas in half, pressing down gently to adhere ingredients. In a non-stick skillet, melt 1 Tablespoon butter. Place Quesadilla in pan and cook on each side until golden. Cut each quesadilla in half, forming wedges. Garnish with **Fruit Chutney, lime wedges and cilantro. To make the Chutney: In a saucepan, combine all ingredients and bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, about 45 minutes until mixture becomes thick. Cool chutney

 

Notes: This is a great appetizer, snack or use for left-over turkey! They can be assembled in advance, kept covered in the refrigerator and cooked just before serving.
