Ingredients

  • 1 (28 ounce) package frozen shoestring French fries
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 lbs ground turkey breast
  • salt & freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon ground cumin
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, chopped
  • 1 (15 ounce) can white kidney beans or 1 (15 ounce) can cannellini beans, drained
  • 34 cup beer or 34 cup chicken broth
  • 2 cups store-bought tomatillo salsa (green)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro or 2 tablespoons flat leaf parsley
  • 4 scallions, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 2 pinches cayenne pepper

Method

  • Preheat oven to 425F Arrange the fires in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet and bake, tossing halfway through, until browned, 25 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
  • When the oil smokes, add the turkey and cook, breaking up the meat.
  • Season with salt and pepper, the poultry seasoning and cumin; brown and crumble the meat for 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Add the onion and garlic and cook for 5 more minutes.
  • Add the beans and stir to heat through.
  • Add beer and cook for about 1 minute.
  • Stir in the salsa and simmer the chili over low heat.
  • When the fries finish baking, stir the cilantro into the chili.
  • Transfer the chili to a medium casserole and top with the scallions.
  • Mix a teaspoon of salt with the chili powder and cayenne.
  • Remove the fries from the oven and top with the seasoned salt.
  • Pile the fires on top of the casserole, evenly covering the green chili and serve.
  • When I made this we used extra salsa and some sour cream to garnish the dish.
