olive oil to the pan. 
When the butter / oil mixture is hot, 
sauté the garlic and onions 
for 2-3 minutes, 
add the mushrooms and continue 
to cook for 2-3 minutes 
or until the mushrooms begin 
to sweat slightly. 
Add the turkey meat and season 
with salt and pepper. 
Set aside.

3. Brush one side of the tortilla
with the remaining olive oil. 
Place the tortilla brushed side down
 on a piece of aluminum foil. 
Divide the sautéed mixture, squash, 
Swiss, jack, green onions and walnuts 
between the six tortillas.
Fold in half.

4. Place oil side down on the grill 
set to low heat. 
Grill for about 2 minutes, 
depending on heat level, 
be careful not to burn. 
With a spatula turn the quesadillas 
over and continue to cook 1-2 minutes 
or until cheese is melted. 
Remove, cut in half and serve.
