Thanksgiving is the holiday that keeps on giving—especially when it comes to leftovers. While turkey sandwiches or reheated plates are the go-to options for many, why not try something that shakes things up? This Thanksgiving Turkey Poutine recipe is a delicious, comforting twist on your traditional holiday leftovers. It’s the perfect way to reinvent your turkey, gravy, and sides into something special that brings bold flavors to the table.
Imagine homemade restaurant-style French fries, topped with moist, leftover turkey, rich gravy, and gooey cheese curds, all crowned with a dollop of tart Cornect Family Farm Cranberry Chutney. Each bite has everything: crispy fries, tender turkey, melty cheese, and the cranberry chutney that adds a perfect balance of sweet and tangy. This dish turns the typical holiday flavors into an indulgent comfort food you’ll want to make long after Thanksgiving is over.
What makes this poutine truly stand out is how easy it is to prepare. You start by layering a plate with crispy fries—either homemade or your favorite restaurant-style version. Then, you add reheated turkey, which is gently warmed with just a touch of water to keep it juicy and tender. Next comes the warm gravy, drizzled generously over the top, along with a handful of cheese curds that melt beautifully into the mix. And finally, the star addition: a spoonful of cranberry chutney that provides a burst of flavor, elevating this dish from comfort food to a holiday feast on a plate.
This recipe is an exciting and effortless way to use up all your leftovers without feeling like you’re having the same meal again and again. Plus, it’s a great option for casual gatherings or even a fun weeknight dinner that gives you the taste of Thanksgiving in an entirely new form. So this year, skip the boring sandwiches and give your leftovers the makeover they deserve with Thanksgiving Turkey Poutine.
