Ingredients

1 cup sour cream

1 tablespoon minced chipotle chile in adobo, plus more sauce for serving

10 cups tortilla chips

2 cups shredded leftover turkey meat

3 cups shredded Cheddar

2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese

2 cups thinly sliced leftover cooked Brussels sprouts

1 1/2 cups leftover cubed roasted butternut squash

1 cup packaged french-fried onions

1 cup lightly packed cilantro leaves or parsley leaves

1/2 cup sliced black olives

1/4 cup chopped pickled jalapenos

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Stir the sour cream and chipotle chile together in a small bowl. Cover with plastic wraps and refrigerate.
  2. Scatter half the chips on a rimmed baking sheet. Top with one-third of the turkey, cheeses, Brussels sprouts, butternut squash and fried onions. Scatter the remaining chips on top followed by the remaining two-thirds of turkey, cheeses, Brussels sprouts and fried onions. Bake until the cheeses are melted and bubbly, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  3. Drizzle the nachos with chipotle sour cream and extra adobo sauce. Garnish with cilantro, black olives, and jalapenos.

Very tasty use of Thanksgiving leftovers. We didn’t have butternut squash or brussel sprouts but everything else. It was super simple and easy for a Friday night. The chipotle sour cream was delicious and a perfect compliment to the nachos. We will try it with the turkey chili next time.
