Toddler Cheeseburgers, AKA Sliders

Sliders and Bacon Spinach Salad.

Things have been busy at the office for the girl's daddy and I. I have to admit we have had a few take out meals recently. In the past take out meals were reserved for play dates at the golden arches. Those meals always meant a nugget dipped in ketchup because mamma doesn't eat beef. One take-out meal recently was purchased by daddy and consisted of cheeseburgers. Daddy thought he was being smart on the meal selection but the girls turned their noses up.

I thought it might be nice to have the girls help make mini cheeseburgers so they could get used to what a cheeseburger tastes like. It apparently only took one time for the girls to learn to appreciate a good burger.

Turkey Sliders

• 1 lb ground turkey
• 1 cup rolled oats
• 2 tbsp barbecue sauce
• 1 tbsp Heinz 57 sauce
• 1 tbsp ketchup 
• seasoning to taste

Place all ingredients into a bowl and mix until combined. Roll into small hamburger patties about the size of a young child's fist. We had a variety of sized to accommodate adult and child eaters. Grill or pan fry according to your liking. I have to admit I am not that great in this area. The sliders came out tasting fabulous though!

Furiously mixing.

Someone has to direct mom in proper cooking procedures.
