Turkey Sloppy Joes with Kale Chips

It was impossible to move most of yesterday.  Christmas was great but too much road travel, too much eating, too much drinking and we were both comatose for much of the day.  It was really cold yesterday so we scrounged through the fridge and put this meal together.  Because of our current love affair with Kale we always have it on hand now and we always have ground turkey in the freezer - this was easy and delicious.  The Kale chips are the best and will become a staple now at every meal.
