Equipment

  • 1 half sheet baking pan

Ingredients

  • ⅔ of a 10 oz bag tortilla chips enough to cover a half sheet pan
  • ⅔ cup shredded cooked turkey warmed
  • 1 cup stuffing warmed
  • ⅔ cup shredded cheese Monterey Jack, Mexican blend, or nacho blend
  • ½ fresh jalapeño thinly sliced (optional)
  • 3–4 tbsp cranberry sauce

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a half sheet pan with parchment paper or lightly oil it.
  • Shred the turkey into bite-sized pieces and lightly warm it. Warm the stuffing as well.
  • Spread tortilla chips in a single layer over the prepared pan.
  • Evenly top with turkey, stuffing, shredded cheese, and jalapeño slices (if using).
