It's nice to have tasty eats on
game day and this recipe in one
of our favorites. It's also low
carb!
In this cook I will be sautéing
sweet onion and green bell
pepper as well as pan frying
turkey sausage or a wood fire.
This can be done on your stove
top as well.
start by slicing one sweet onion
and then cutting it crosswise.
Do the same with one green bell
pepper. Once this is done it's
time to sauté the vegetables.
I'm doing mine in a large cast
iron skillet with 3 Tbsp. extra
virgin olive oil in the pan and
over a medium high heat. Again I
did my cooking over a wood fire.
Once the oil heats up add the
sweet onion. Allow the onion to
cook stirring frequently for two
minutes then add in the green
bell pepper. Continue to sauté
until the onion and pepper
become somewhat translucent.
Once done then remove the onion
and pepper from the skillet and
place in bowl or on a plate.
Add 3 Tbsp. extra virgin olive
oil to the skillet and add the 1
lbs. chub of Jeannie-O Hot
Turkey Sausage. Using a wooded
spatula break up the turkey into
small pieces while stirring. You
want to fully cook the turkey
sausage. Once fully cooked
remove the turkey sausage from
the skillet and place in a bowl
or on a plate. Let cool a bit.
Now it's time to build the
Quesadilla's. Lay down flat one
Mission Carb Balance wrap.
Sprinkle on Colby Jack cheese
covering the wrap. Shake on a
little Johnny's and some
Mad Hunky Meats pizza shake.
If you don't have this you can
use a real light coating of
grated parmesan. Add 3 large
spoons full of the turkey
sausage followed by 3 spoons
full of the sautéed onion and
pepper. Add 3 spoons full of
Pico De Gallo. Some of you may
not want your quesadilla busting
at the seems. Some do. Use less
of the ingredients to tame it
down. You will also be able to
make more. Here we like to go
big on game day. Next pour on
some La Victoria Salsa Brava. If
you don't have this just use
your favorite picante or hot
sauce. Add a little more Colby
Jack cheese on top and fold the
wrap over to form a Quesadilla.
Place the finished Quesadilla
onto a greased smoking rack.
Repeat the build process and
finish the rest of the
Quesadilla's.
With a cooker pre-heated to
325-350 degrees F place the
Quesadilla's in the cookers so
they are not directly over the
coals. If your using a
conventional oven then the
center rack will do. You can
also pan fry these on medium
heat as long as you use a lid to
cover the skillet so the cheese
adequately melts. I'm cooking on
the Scottsdale and will be
cooking indirectly using a wood
fire. Close the lid to your
cooker and allow the Quesadilla
to cook for 45 minutes. Check
them after 30 minutes. You want
the wraps to crisp up a bit and
the cheese to melt.
Once fully cooked, remove the
Quesadilla and cut them up into
4ths. Plate them up with your
favorite dipping sauces. I went
with Motor City BBQ's Scorpion
sauce. It has a sweet hickory
smoke flavor with a hint of
garlic and a nice heat on the
back end. They have a full line
of sauces with different levels
of heat from near none to what
most consider very hot.
Available @
Motor City BBQ .
That's it folks. It's a pretty
simple recipe that a big hit on
game day! Unfortunately our
Seahawks didn't fair to well
against the Rams today. That
said, the 1/2 time food was
amazing!
I hope you enjoyed this recipe
and video. Thanks for stopping
in.
