This is a surprisingly delicious combination! It was popular at a tasting that I did recently. The contrast of flavors works really well: sweet, tart, rich, and earthy. I love cranberries so it's fun to have a new way to include them or use leftover cranberry sauce.
We had a quesadilla taste test, with a class of adults, using this recipe and the Pear Quesadilla recipe, and it was a tie -- everyone liked both recipes. We used chicken instead of turkey, but this recipe was still a big hit. Even people who HATED spinach liked it (I did use fresh spinach, so that made a difference)!
Another awesome recipe -- thanks Food Hero!
