Feel free to experiment with different cheeses! Monterey Jack, Pepper Jack, or even a smoked Gouda would be delicious. For a vegetarian option, substitute the turkey with roasted butternut squash or sweet potatoes. If you don't have fresh jalapeño, a pinch of red pepper flakes will add a similar kick. Serve with a dollop of sour cream or a side of guacamole for extra flavor. These quesadillas are also great for a quick lunch or snack.
