Take a new spin on Thanksgiving leftovers in this easy dish.

ingredients

4 flour tortillas (10-inch or burrito-size)
4 tablespoons Dijon mustard
3/4 pound sliced leftover turkey
1/2 cup leftover Cranberry Chutney, plus more, for serving (optional)
8 slices thick Brie cheese (8 ounces)
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil

directions

1
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Spread one side of each tortilla with 1 tablespoon mustard. Divide the turkey over one half of each mustard-coated side; dress with cranberry chutney (about 2 tablespoons per quesadilla). Layer each with 2 Brie slices, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Fold and press to seal edges. Brush on all sides with olive oil; transfer to two rimmed baking sheets.
2
Bake, rotating the baking sheets halfway through, until cheese has melted and tortillas are golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes before slicing into wedges. Serve topped with more chutney, if desired.

notes

To make the tortillas more pliable, heat them over a direct flame until just warmed through (or heat them a few seconds in the microwave). Note: Because Brie melts so quickly, it's important to use thick slices, and to place them toward the center.
