- 1 (28 ounce) package frozen shoestring potato fries
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil (EVOO)
- 2 pounds ground turkey breast
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
- 1 tablespoon ground cumin
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, chopped
- 1 (15 ounce) can white kidney or cannellini beans, drained
- 3/4 cup beer or chicken broth
- 2 cups store-bought tomatillo (green) salsa
- 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro or flat-leaf parsley
- 4 scallions, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 2 pinches cayenne pepper
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Arrange the fries in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet and bake, tossing halfway through, until browned, 25 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat the EVOO, 2 turns of the pan, in a large nonstick 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 minutes more. Add the beans and stir to heat through. Add the 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 (it should be filled to the rim) 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 fries on top of the casserole, evenly covering the green chili, and serve.
