Today’s Menu: BBQ Turkey Sliders w/ Jalapeno Cheddar Fried Potatoes

 

 

Another beautiful day out again! We set a record low for the morning, 51 degrees. For Breakfast I got the Goetta out, Glier’s Turkey Goetta. I had a Sunny Side Up Egg, Turkey Goetta, and Whole Wheat Toast. Nice start to any day. Got the cart out and went fishing today. Didn’t catch a whole lot but caught some fantastic Sun all day. For dinner tonight I prepared BBQ Turkey Sliders w/ Jalapeno Cheddar Fried Potatoes.

 

 
If you’re having Sliders they might as well be healthy Sliders. The Jennie – O Turkey is only 120 calories with the Buns being 100 calories. To prepare them I formed the Ground Turkey into Slider Bun size patties. Seasoned them with McCormick Grinder Sea Salt and Black Peppercorn with just a pinch of Sage in each. I pan fried them in Canola Oil. Served them on the Pepperidge Farm Wheat Slider Buns and topped with JB’s Fat Boy Sticky Stuff BBQ Sauce. Now this a slider, the Sauce just sets everything off. I could eat a plate full of these.

 

 

For a side dish for the Sliders I prepared Jalapeno Cheddar Fried Potatoes. Came across this a while back in an issue of Cuisine at Home Magazine. Made some changes from the original recipe. I used Simply Potatoes Steakhouse Seasoned Diced Potatoes, Canola Oil instead of Peanut Oil, Scallions, 1 Jalapeno (sliced), Sea Salt and Ground Pepper, Sargento Reduced Fat Mexican Style Shredded Cheese, and I also added some diced Red Onion. To prepare it; Add the Canola Oil to a Cast Iron Skillet and heat on medium. Prepare the Diced potatoes according to the package instructions. About midway through the cooking process add the Diced Red Onion and continue cooking. Then Scallions and Jalapeno; saute 2 more minutes, then season with Sea Salt & Pepper. Off the heat sprinkle with the Sargento Reduced Fat Mexican Style Shredded Cheese. And another keeper Potato Dish! This has turned out to be one of my favorite Potato Side Dishes. For dessert later a bowl of Del Monte No Sugar Added Peach Chunks.
