    Not bad, but could use more flavor. I added some hot sauce and that helped a lot.

    Why would u cook it so long? I only did 1 minute on each side and it was perfect! 5 stars!

      I don’t know about 1 min, but that sounds risky! 😂 More cheese please!

    2. 4 stars
      Cooking it longer makes them crunchier! I prefer a crispy quesadilla.

    I dunno if the spinach really adds anything. Next time, I might skip it.

    Hmm, not sure about tortillas for breakfast. I usually stick to eggs. But I guess it’s good for some people?

    1. 4 stars
      Breakfast is about what makes you happy! Eggs are great, but these quesadillas sound tasty too. Gotta mix it up sometimes!

    My family loved it! Spinach, turkey, and cheese is way better than just plain old cheese quesadillas.

    I dunno about spinach in a quesadilla… Seems weird to me. Maybe sticking to just cheese and turkey next time.

    I don’t think turkey belongs in a quesadilla. Used chicken instead. Still came out good tho. 3/5.

    I think you should add more turkey or maybe some beans? Feels a little light for breakfast.

    1. 4 stars
      I totally get what you mean! A little more turkey would make it heartier. Maybe I’ll give it a try with some beans next time!

      Beans? In a quesadilla? That sounds weird. Just stick to the recipe, it’s fine as is.

  22. 3 stars
    Quesadillas are just weird tacos. But this recipe is ok. Would eat again, maybe?

    Spinach is not a breakfast food! Who eats that in the morning? 1/5.

    1. 5 stars
      I disagree! Spinach is super healthy and can totally be a breakfast food. This sounds delicious! 5/5.

      I’ve never seen spinach for breakfast either, but I guess it’s worth a try? Sounds a bit weird tho. 3/5.

    My husband doesn’t like spinach. So I skipped it. Still good! 😜 3 stars.

      You can totally skip the spinach! My kids hate it too, and they love it when I make it without! Great idea! 😊

    2. 2 stars
      But isn’t spinach good for you? I don’t get why you’d skip it. Seems weird to me. 🤷‍♂️

    Easy peasy! I like it, but adding some eggs next time for more protein. 4!

      Eggs sound great! I bet that’ll make it even tastier. Thanks for the tip!
