Ingredients
1 bag (about 10 cups) tortilla chips without FODMAP ingredients
2 cups chopped cooked turkey meat
2 cups extra sharp cheddar cheese, grated
2 cups pepper jack cheese, grated
7 ounce can sliced black olives
7 ounce can chopped green chilies
1/2 cup chopped sweet peppers or jalapeno peppers if you prefer (optional)
1/2 cup cilantro leaves and/or green onions (green part only), chopped
1 cup lactose-free sour cream
Other items to consider adding: Low FODMAP sourdough stuffing, any sort of roasted vegetables you have leftover, and feel free to substitute other kinds of cheese you may have leftover from a charcuterie board in place of the cheddar or the pepper jack.
Directions
Make-ahead note (1): This recipe leverages leftovers so if you’re making from scratch, you’ll want to cook the turkey ahead of time.
(2) Prepare the ingredients: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Grate the cheese. Put the sour cream in a small bowl and stir to loosen. Chop the cilantro and/or green onions and set them aside for serving.
(3) Layer the ingredients: Scatter half the chips on a large rimmed baking sheet (or use two smaller sheets). Sprinkle evenly with the turkey, 1/2 the cheese, black olives, chopped green chilies, and any other leftovers you plan to use. Scatter the remaining chips on top followed by the remaining cheese.
(4) Bake: Bake until the cheese is melted and bubbly (but the chips aren’t burned), about 5 to 7 minutes.
(5) Serve: Serve the nachos with sour cream, chopped sweet peppers or jalapenos, cilantro, and/or green onions.
Eat and enjoy every bite because you can!
