Meal Plan MONDAY: Southwest Turkey Sliders over Spicy Avocado Slaw! LOVE LOVE LOVE!

Southwest Turkey Sliders over Spicy Avocado Slaw

Serves: 4

Ingredients

For the burgers

1lb ground turkey

¼ red onion, minced

½ poblano pepper, diced

1 teaspoon ground cumin

½ teaspoon ground red pepper

salt and pepper, to taste

1/3 cup oatmeal (You can leave the oatmeal out but your burgers won't stick together as easily)

1 egg white

For the slaw

1 small head of cabbage or bag of cabbage, chopped (I used purple cabbage and it was yummy, and it looked cool!)

2 avocados

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon lime juice

½ teaspoon lemon juice

1 teaspoon ground cumin

½ teaspoon crushed red pepper

salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

First make your burgers

Add all your ingredients for your burgers in a large bowl. Mix with your hands!

Shape 4 small burger patties.

Heat up a large skillet under medium heat with a bit of olive oil or nonstick cooking spray, and add your sliders. Flip after about 3-5 minutes or when you see the sides of your sliders begin to turn a white color (meaning they are cooking through).

Now make your slaw

Pull out your food processor, add all your ingredients for the slaw other than the cabbage and pulse until smooth.

Pour your avocado “mayo” on the cabbage and mix. Top off with a bit of salt and pepper.

Place your cabbage on a plate and top off with your sliders! 

*I also added a little relish of diced tomato's, cucumbers, red onion, and cilantro to the top of my burger!

Consume!

MY HUBBY LOVED THIS!  You can drizzle a little hot sauce over the entire thing if you like your food spicy!

If you're on an EM Meal plan this recipe is AWESOME for meal #3, #4, #5, or #6!   Just keep in mind that it does have avocado in it so that counts as 1 of your healthy fats!
