If you are looking for a fun and yummy summer recipe, here it is. These turkey sliders are not only awesome looking, they taste amazing. I saw these little buns at Trader Joes the other day and knew I had to use them for something.

This recipe is super easy and quick to make. Here’s what you’ll need.

Ingredients:

1 1/2 pounds ground turkey
1/2 cup finely crushed tortilla chips
6 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

Also made a corn salsa mix to go with/on these.

1 cup chunky salsa
1/3 cup fresh corn kernels

I grabbed some fresh cilantro from the garden. Wash and chop. You want 6 tablespoons

Throw it into a bowl with the ground turkey

grab your chips and throw them in a ziplock bag and bash the hell out of them. Therapeutic and fun

You want a half cup when done. This process can be a little messy.

throw them in the bowl

add 1 tablespoon chili powder

add 1 teaspoon cumin

add 1 teaspoon salt

and 1/2 teaspoon pepper

mix it all up

roll them out into small little meatballs and fire up the grill

to prepare the corn, simply shuck it, throw it in some tinfoil with a pat of butter and add a little bit of lime. Roll the corn up in the tin foil and throw it on the grill

since these are little sliders roll out some tin foil for the grill. The corn helps hold in in place.

Place all of the little sliders on the grill and then flatten them out with a spatula

you can toast the little slider buns as well

looking good as they cook

add cheese if you like. I added some provolone and it was good.

nice little toasty buns

I added cheese to half

When the corn is done cooking, about 7-10 minutes, remove it from the grill and from the foil. Careful, its hot. Take your knife and slice the kernels off.
