What a fun time tonight at Meyerson JCC, making these turkey sliders!

The YP's (Young Professionals) had a fill of these sliders made with onions, herbs, olive oil and oats. Yes! Rolled oats and oat bran, both!

Not only was it low cal (we serve them on zucchini slices as the "bun"), it's packed with fiber.

Uh-huh, no bun needed. The oatmeal gives us the good carbs.

It's in there!

Yum!!

Of course, served with all the condiments and arugula or spinach, sliced onions and grape tomatoes makes it complete.

1 lb ground turkey

½ cup oat bran & 1/2 cup oat meal

1 onion, chopped

1 cup mushrooms, chopped

3 cloves garlic, chopped

½ cup parsley, chopped

1 tbsp Italian seasoning mix

1 tbsp olive oil

1 egg

1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

Ground mixed pepper

 

Combine all ingredients in a large bowl.

Shape into 2 inch ball, flatten.  

Bake in 350 degree oven for 20-25 minutes or until brown, or cook on hot grill for 5 minutes on each side.

Makes approximately 24 sliders.

I put a whole turkey breast in my 16 quart stainless steel pot, added a whole onion, 4 carrot sliced, garlic, herbs, spices, Worcestershire sauce, put the lid on and set stove on low heat, left to play tennis, met girlfriend Marcie at peach house, made healthsmart turkey sliders, delivered them to another girlfriend's house, came home, added potatoes and whole cauliflower to the pot, covered again for 30 minutes, and here it is!!

Nice Sunday!!

Hello!

Do you have a recipe that belongs to Aunt Luisa or Grandma Bertha??

Send it to me and I will surely revamp it to make it lower in calories per serving, lower in saturated fat (our main foe), make it nutrient dense with additional antioxidants and still keep the same deliciousness that you loved!!

I'm ready anytime!
