TURKEY-PESTO TOASTERDILLA
Toaster quesadillas are all the rage right now and are simple to make once you get the hang of it. The key is to make sure not to add too much to them. They need to be as flat as possible so that they do not get stuck but move freely in and out of the toaster slots.

LIGHTER FARE TURKEY PESTO CASSEROLE
My previous casserole recipe for this was way to high on the calorie count and fat count for my new way of eating (lifetime diet as it were). So I've revised for this lighter version which I think brings out the pesto flavor so much more. (Side note: I used leftover turkey from the freezer and because it turned out rather dry last time, this time I threw it a pot of boiling water for about 5 minutes and drained before I layered it into the casserole).
