Combine shredded turkey, cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, and 0.5 cup mild chunky salsa in a mixing bowl until evenly incorporated.
02 -
Lay tortillas flat on a clean surface and distribute the filling evenly over one half of each tortilla. Fold tortillas in half to enclose the filling, pressing gently to seal.

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Place one or two folded tortillas in the skillet and cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cheese is melted. Transfer cooked quesadillas to a cutting board and repeat with remaining tortillas, adding more oil if necessary.

Cut quesadillas into wedges, garnish with chopped parsley or cilantro, and serve immediately with extra mild chunky salsa for dipping.
# Handy Tips:
01 -
Use medium heat to prevent burning and ensure cheese melts properly.
02 -
Press gently after folding to secure filling and promote even browning.
03 -
Allow quesadillas to rest 1 to 2 minutes before slicing to help cheese set and avoid mess.
04 -
Avoid overfilling to facilitate easier flipping and maintain structural integrity.
