Leftovers #14 ~ Turkey Poutine

With all the hot turkey opens, turkey sandwiches, and turkey curry soup I made turkey poutine. Fairly simple and a great way to use up the last staggering bits of turkey.

I took ready made chips, french fries, and cooked them according to the package. I baked them for a few extra minutes so that the chips became crispy. When cooked I removed the chips from the baking sheet by placing them on a plate. I then covered the baking sheet with parchment paper, being careful because it is hot. The chips were placed back onto the baking sheet and were dressed with the leftover turkey, then gravy, and finally cheese. The chips were placed back into the oven until the cheese was nicely melted. Remove the turkey poutine from the oven and serve immediately.  

You can always make your own chips however if you want to save time use ready made, low sodium, low fat chips like I did. Do not have cheese curds then use whatever cheese you may have on hand. This is one dish where you can be as creative as you like. Adding different toppings and dressing the chips how you like.
