Turkey Leftovers 2.0: Family-Style Nachos
This family-style nacho platter makes use of little bits of dark meat salvaged from the turkey, combined with cheese, peppers, and tons of mashed avocados. Lynda Balslev for Tastefood

I realize I am getting ahead of myself by talking turkey leftovers right now, but only by a week or so. I trust that you have your Thanksgiving turkey centerpiece under control. This recipe is about that turkey and addresses the leftovers you will face.

I can’t imagine a better way to use up those leftovers than to add them to a platter of nachos. Following the sit-down turkey holiday feast, it’s refreshing to make food that’s decidedly unfancy, unplated, and, well, messy. This casual family-style nacho platter will do the trick.
