1tablespoonsea salt

2cupscheese curds
For the Turkey Gravy:
1litreturkey stockhomemade or store bought (or substitute chicken stock)
5tablespoonscornstarch
5tablespoonscold water
Turkey roast drippings
Instructions
Line a baking tray with parchment paper and drizzle with one tablespoon of olive oil. Arrange the potato wedges on the baking tray so that they are not touching and sprinkle with the salt and ground black pepper. Drizzle with the remaining one tablespoon of olive oil and bake in the oven for 35 to 40 minutes, flipping halfway through cooking.
While the potatoes are baking, make the turkey gravy. Bring the turkey stock to a boil over high heat. Combine the cornstarch and cold water in a small bowl and whisk until combined. Gradually pour the cornstarch mixture into the turkey while whisking and bring to a boil. Once thickened, add the turkey roast drippings and keep warm over low heat.
Once the potatoes are golden brown and cooked through, remove from the oven and arrange on a serving platter. Top the potatoes with the cheese curds and the gravy. Serve immediately and enjoy!
