Set a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground turkey and cook, breaking it into very small crumbles, for 5 to 6 minutes until cooked through. Stir in the taco seasoning and water, then cook for 1 minute more until the liquid has evaporated. Transfer the seasoned turkey to a small bowl. Done when opaque in the center, 165°F.
Wipe out the skillet. Lay the tortillas flat and spread the cooked turkey and cheese over half of each tortilla. Fold the empty halves over the filling to create half-moons and press down firmly to seal.
Melt the butter in the skillet over medium heat. Place the folded tortillas in the skillet. Cook for 2 minutes, flip carefully, and cook for 2 minutes more until the tortillas are golden brown and the cheese has melted.
Transfer the tortillas to a cutting board and cut each half-moon into 4 bite-size wedges. Arrange them on a plate, garnish with chopped cilantro, and serve with the lime wedges for squeezing over the top.
