3 tablespoons lime juice
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon garlic powder
2 cups coarsely chopped cooked turkey
1 10 ounce bag large-size white, yellow, or blue tortilla chips
1 16 ounce can refried beans
2 cups shredded Monterey Jack or Cheddar cheese (8 ounces)
1 16 ounce jar prepared salsa
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
Sour cream and fresh cilantro sprigs to garnish (optional)
Servings: 10
1. Heat oven to 425ºF.
2. Whisk together lime juice, olive oil, cumin and garlic powder; toss with turkey in a small bowl and season with salt and pepper.
3. Make a layer of tortilla chips to cover the bottom of a large 12 to 14-inch round or oval baking dish. Evenly spoon refried beans over chips (use the entire can of beans). Top with turkey and sprinkle with 1 cup shredded cheese.
4. Make another layer of tortilla chips. Spoon half the salsa evenly over chips. Top with remaining cup of cheese.
5. Bake nachos until heated through and cheese melts and begins to bubble, 15 to 20 minutes. Serve hot with remaining salsa, sour cream and cilantro, if desired.
Makes 8 to 10 servings
Notes: As beloved as the day-after Thanksgiving turkey sandwich is, it is often fun to try something new and different with the leftover turkey. These terrific tasting nachos tap into the Tex-Mex food craze and make for crowd-pleasing nibbling while watching the game.
