Piri-piri turkey poutine | Canadian Turkey

Step 1

Remove neck and giblets from cavity of turkey before cooking. Combine all ingredients for the piri-piri marinade in the jar of your blender and blend until smooth. Marinate the turkey for 24 hours in refrigerator in this marinade (pour it into the cavity and massage it onto all surfaces) - turn as needed after 12 hours or use a very large freezer bag. Place turkey and marinade in a large roasting pan, breast side down and cook at 300°F for 1.5 hours. Turn turkey breast side up and continue cooking for about 2 more hours. The turkey is ready when a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh - without touching the bone - reads 170°F. Save gravy from cooking pan for the poutine.

Step 2

Place your crispy, hot fries in a large bowl. Top with cheese curds. Pour reheated piri-piri gravy over cheese curds and fries. Top with turkey and serve immediately
