You have the cookware company Reynolds to thank for bringing this recipe into your life. It advises adding the Flamin’ Hot Cheetos to a food processor to help you get just the right consistency. After spreading a little butter on the turkey, you’ll then take the Cheetos crumbs and completely coat it.
Cover the turkey with a Reynolds oven bag, place it in a baking dish and let the cooking process begin. Once your turkey is cooked through, you’ll reveal the most Instagram-worthy turkey to ever exist and Thanksgiving dinner is served!
You can check out the full recipe on the Reynolds website.

Who knows, maybe chips and turkey aren’t meant to be combined? But hey, we’re certainly not here to judge. This is so wacky, it may just work.
There are plenty of other Cheetos-covered recipes online. If turkey isn’t your thing, you could also use your Flamin’ Hot Cheetos for mozzarella sticks, marshmallow treats or a spicy margarita:
To cover everything in Cheetos or not to cover everything in Cheetos—that is the question.
