Preparation
Roast the sweet potato fries
Preheat the oven to 450°F. Cut the sweet potatoes lengthwise into ½ inch fries. On a lined sheet pan, toss the sweet potato fries with a drizzle of oil; season with ½ the spice blend and S&P. Arrange in a single, even layer and roast in the oven, 22 to 24 minutes, stirring halfway through, until browned and tender when pierced with a fork.
Cook the turkey
While the sweet potato fries roast, in a medium pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Add the ground turkey* to the pan and season with the remaining spice blend and S&P. Cook, breaking the meat apart with a spoon, 4 to 6 minutes, until browned and cooked through. Transfer to a bowl, leaving any browned bits (or fond) in the pan. Reserve the pan.
Make the salad
While the turkey cooks, in a large bowl, combine the apple cider vinegar with 3 tbsp olive oil (double for 4 portions); season with S&P to taste. Add the baby lettuce and carrots; toss to combine.
Make the cranberry gravy
In the reserved pan of fond, melt 1 tbsp butter (double for 4 portions) on medium. Add the flour, whisking constantly, until a paste forms. Add the demi-glace, maple syrup, cranberries and ¾ cup water (double for 4 portions). Bring to a simmer and cook, scraping up any fond from the bottom of the pan, 3 to 4 minutes, until the gravy has thickened. If the gravy seems too thick, add water, 1 tbsp at a time, until you acheive your desired consistency. Season with S&P to taste.
Plate your dish
Divide the sweet potato fries between your plates. Top with the turkey, gravy and cheese curds. Serve the salad on the side. Bon appétit!
*Health Canada recommends cooking poultry to a minimum internal temperature of 74°C.
