Ingredients

·         1 15 oz bag frozen sweet potato fries

·         1½ cups prepared bread stuffing (use leftovers or make it from a mix)

·         2 cups turkey gravy

·         1½ cups (8 oz) diced or shredded cooked turkey

·         1 cup (4 oz) cheese curds (I used shredded sharp cheddar cheese)

·         1 cup cranberry sauce or cranberry jelly

·         Chopped fresh herbs such as parsley or sage

Instructions

1.                   Heat oven to 400ºF.

2.                   Heat the turkey gravy in a saucepan. Add the diced turkey to heat through and keep warm while the fries cook.

3.                   Spread sweet potato fries on a metal cooling rack set over a baking sheet. Bake until heated through and just starting to crisp, about 12 minutes.

4.                   Remove fries from the oven and add bits of bread stuffing to the rack along with the fries. Return to the oven and bake until hot and crisped, 5 to 7 minutes more.

5.                   Immediately layer fries, stuffing, and cheese curds in a serving dish or on plates, allowing the cheese curds to melt with the hot fries.

6.                   Strain turkey from gravy using a slotted spoon and add to the poutine. Serve with extra gravy drizzled on top, cranberry sauce, and herbs.

Notes

Use an air fryer:

Make this recipe by cooking the fries and stuffing in an air fryer. The setting should be at 400ºF to 425ºF.

Variations: 

Swap sweet potato fries for regular fries or home fries.

Use shredded cheddar cheese or diced fresh mozzarella in place of the cheese curds.
