Friendsgiving Nachos

Friendsgiving nachos are the ultimate way to enjoy Thanksgiving (with minimal effort). It’s all the elements of Thanksgiving—turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, gravy, and cranberry sauce—PLUS cheese served on top of a bed of crunchy nacho chips. Gather your friends and family around this Thanksgiving tray for a Friendsgiving meal or any time you want to switch up the classic party app.

We created this recipe with Thanksgiving leftovers in mind, but also know that we often crave Thanksgiving without leftovers on hand, so here is a great strategy to prepare the nachos if you don’t want to roast a whole turkey and make all of the sides. Store-bought mashed potatoes, gravy, and stuffing or instant stuffing like Stouffer's (you’ll need about half a box) are good substitutes for the sides. For the turkey, you can use shredded rotisserie chicken, and as you can imagine, it’s equally delicious in its own way. These nachos are all about using up what you have on hand—get creative with them.
