    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.

    Y’all, I accidentally burnt mine. Make sure to watch it closely! 😂

      I swear I followed the instructions, but my cheese never melted. Guess I need to watch it closely too! 🥴

      Haha, I did the same thing once! It turned out like a crispy frisbee. Be careful, these can burn fast! 😂

    Can you use regular tortillas instead of whole wheat? I hate the taste of those.

    Tried this for breakfast and it actually felt like a real meal, not just “diet food.” The spinach + turkey combo is great, and the cheese gets perfectly melty.

    Not sure about using spinach. Can we use lettuce instead? Not everyone likes greens.

    1. 4 stars
      I think spinach adds a great taste! But if you prefer lettuce, go for it. Just keep in mind it might be a bit soggy.🤷‍♀️

    2. 3 stars
      Lettuce? Ehh, not the same. Spinach is way better for you. But do what ya like, I guess.

  11. 5 stars
    This was so good!!! Easy to make and healthy too! I added some salsa on the side.

  12. 2 stars
    Didnt really like it. Thought it could use more seasoning. Kind of bland. 2/5.

    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!

    Turkey slices were a bit dry for me, so I warmed them slightly before assembling. Also, 2-3 minutes each side felt short—mine needed closer to 4 to crisp.

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

    1. User avatar Florentino Shields says:

      Yum! I need to try this recipe. Everytime I make quesadillas, they turn out boring. Thanks for sharing!

  16. User avatar jerald.aufderhar says:

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

  17. User avatar dorie.klocko59 says:

    Sounds healthy, but who wants turkey at breakfast? I’ll stick with eggs, thanks.

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

  19. 2 stars
    Not sure about this. Turkey in a quesadilla feels kinda bland to me, like it’s missing taco seasoning. Could be saved with a pinch of cumin or chili powder.

    I tried this with some leftover chicken instead of turkey, and it worked surprisingly well! Yum! 4 stars.

    What do u do with leftover turkey?? It’s not thanksgiving anymore lol.

    Five stars! I added some salsa and it was like a breakfast taco situation. The spinach really cooks down and the cheese holds everything together.

    1. User avatar jorge.murazik says:

      Nice! Salsa with a breakfast quesadilla is so good. I’ve been meaning to try this—spinach + cheese always works. What kind of salsa did you use (mild or spicy)?

  23. User avatar clement.hermiston1950 says:

    I like the idea, but my spinach tasted kinda watery. Maybe I should squeeze it first? Still good though, especially with the cheese pull.

  24. User avatar pauline.ratke37 says:

    This recipe is super easy and yummy! My kids loved it! Definitely making it again.

  25. 4 stars
    Pretty good! I used mozzarella instead of whatever shredded cheese I had and it still worked. Next time I’d cook a tiny bit longer so the tortillas get crispier.

    The cheese didn’t melt, and I followed the instructions. Disappointed. 😔

    1. User avatar tameika.monahan1970 says:

      I had the same issue! I used low-fat cheese, maybe that’s why? 🤷‍♀️

      Did you use shredded cheese? That’s important! Try a different brand next time.

  27. 4 stars
    So easy. Tastes good. 10/10

      Hmm maybe I’m doing something wrong—mine got a little soggy. Still tasty though. Next time I’ll make sure the spinach is dry and cook it a bit longer.

      Yes! I made this for breakfast this week and it was seriously so quick. The spinach + turkey + cheese combo is perfect. 🔥

  28. 4 stars
    Quick and simple! Made it in less than 10 minutes! Plus I’m trying to eat healthier, so this works.

    Turkey in the morning? Sounds weird. I prefer bacon. But thanks for the recipe!
