The Recipe I had used this to make my gravy, but I didn't have any turkey fat or turkey juice. I had to substitute in chicken broth as well for the sake of convenience. I will admit that I was originally going to make oven baked fries as well, but I burnt my hand earlier today and it's hard to do anything like chopping and julienning with one hand. Here's the recipe I would've used. And of course to finish off any poutine you need cheese curds or some chopped up cheese. Hopefully you'll have better luck than I did. The Process The gravy was much easier than I anticipated. Yet another recipe where I make a roux. I've practiced this enough where it was smooth sailing and it turned out well for the most part. I didn't have enough fat in my mixture, so it got a bit lumpy. I passed it through a strainer and that seemed to help it out. I let it simmer while my fries finished "cooking" in the oven. While waiting for my fries to finish defrosting I chopped up my cheese into small blocks. It took a lot longer than it should've given the burn on my right palm, but I wanted to make sure I was involved with a decent amount of the poutine components. The Reviews
Mistakes Always Happen Making the poutine today ended up being a perfect storm. I somehow managed to burn my hand earlier today and I didn't have proper components for the gravy. Cheese curds were out of our price range and the french fries would've been better if I wasn't stuck with one burnt hand and missing gravy ingredients. The gravy could also be a better color, but that's to be expected given my lack of ingredients. My poutine may not have been very tasty, but at least it didn't kill anyone!
