TIP: Although the turkey does take 3-4 hours to cook, you can absolutely cook it the day before or on the weekend. If you have leftover turkey from the nachos, it makes a very tasty pulled turkey sandwich when tossed with a little barbeque sauce or in a grilled cheese sandwich.
Turkey:
  1. In the morning, rub the turkey breast down with plenty of the spice rub. It should be well covered.
  2. Cover and place in the fridge until end of day.
  3. This can be done up to 24 hours before you’re ready to cook the turkey.
Turkey – barbeque method:
  1. Preheat barbeque to 250oF (120oC).
  2. Place breast in a roasting pan and cover tightly with foil or make a foil packet for the breast.
  3. Cook for 3-4 hours in a covered barbeque or until it's moist and shreds easily when you pull it apart with two forks.
  4. Shred all the turkey up and let cook slightly.
Nachos – barbeque method:
  1. Preheat barbeque to 400oF (205oC).
  2. Place 1 layer of nachos down on a baking sheet.
  3. Dress that layer with a healthy amount of salsa, half the shredded turkey, half the cheese and a sprinkle of cilantro. Drizzle with ranch dressing.
  4. Repeat with another layer finishing it off with the avocado. Add more cheese if you like nachos extra cheesey and don't forget the drizzle of ranch dressing.
  5. Place on the grill for 10 minutes or until chips are lightly browned and cheese is bubbling.
