Game Day Weekend and Turkey Cheese Sliders

These Turkey Cheese Sliders are perfect for game day, a tasty lunch, or a potluck dish!

For those last minute entertaininers who need a quick “slider” recipe to make for tomorrow’s Big Game, this one will work! Turkey Cheese Sliders, made on your favorite leftover bread, cut into circles or squares. Brilliant!

First of all, this morning was spent at our friend’s new juice bar in Ashland (Oregon), called NW Raw (NW Raw on Facebook). There’s nothing quite like it here in southern Oregon, all organic foods and fresh-pressed juice. And then there’s the ambience, which has a very northwest feel. Stunning! Here’s a sneak peek.

Something new I’m adding to my redesign of my blog, is an “EAT HERE” tab at the top, where I’ll be featuring southern Oregon, Bend, and Portland restaurtants. YAY! I’ve wanted to do this for a long time. :)

So, how do you go from juicing to eating sliders?

This is probably the only weekend of the year you can do that. I mean, who can attend a Super Bowl party and not indulge in a slider or two?

I adapted todays recipe from a Rachael Ray magazine awhile back, using turkey instead of beef. Another tip: I like to pick up local breads from Grocery Outlet, and support local businesses. For this recipe I used Jalapeno Cheddar from Village Baker in Ashland. The other tip, grate the onion (instead of chopping), which is much faster. I whipped this recipe up in about 30 mintues total, then plated them for serving.

Oh, and I love mustard, pickles, and cheese! Brings back the olden days, eating cheeseburgers at Dell’s Hamburgers in Medford, Oregon.

You can serve the mustard sauce on the side, or fully assemble them with the meat, sauce, and pickle. Yum!

Enjoy! And Happy Super Bowl weekend! May your favorite team WIN!
