Notes
• If your gravy is ready before the french fries, keep it on the lowest heat setting and stir occasionally to keep it from getting too thick.
• The frozen french fries overcrowded my largest baking sheet; I recommend using two pans, so they crisp instead of steam and get soggy.
• If your gravy is too thick, add more vegetable broth until it reaches your desired consistency.

Ingredients
- 1 (24-oz [680-g]) bag frozen french fries
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) olive oil
- 10 ounces (280 g) cremini mushrooms, diced
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) white cooking wine
- 11 ounces (310 g) Condensed Cream of Portabella Mushroom Soup
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) vegetable broth
- 1 1/2 teaspoon (7 g) Everything but the Leftovers Seasoning Blend
- 1 cup (175 g) shredded leftover turkey
- Fresh herbs, such as parsley or thyme, for garnish
Instructions
-
Cook the french fries according to the package instructions. I cooked mine almost double the time suggested on the package (about 25 minutes).
-
While the french fries bake, make your mushroom gravy: In a medium-sized skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and salt, and sauté for 7 to 10 minutes, or until the mushrooms brown. Deglaze the pan with the cooking wine, scraping the browned bits off the bottom.
-
In the skillet, heat the cream of mushroom soup, stirring frequently, for 2 to 3 minutes, or until heated through. Lower the heat to medium and stir in the vegetable broth. The mixture should have a thick, gravy like consistency.
-
When the french fries are ready, toss them with the Everything but the Leftovers Seasoning Blend before transferring them to a large serving dish. Add your shredded turkey on top. Pour the mushroom gravy over the turkey and french fries and garnish with your fresh herbs before serving.
