I’m back, Bitches!!! So says school. Well it’s about time muttered EVERY parent EVERY where. Time to start thinking about lunches and dinners on the fly. These yummy turkey patties fit the bill. So technically they’re kid-sized sliders, but we eat them all kinds around here. Yeah, sometimes we slap cheese and buns on them and serve with some kettle chips, sometimes we go with a basic rice or leafy green salad…and sometimes we simply eat them with our bare hands…dipping away at a table buffet full of condiments–think ketchup, mustard, sriracha, et al. They’re versatile: easy to pack up in a lunch or reheat for dinner. Oh and good Mommy bonus…I pack ‘em full of vegetables that not a small person will say boo to. Veggies 1 vs. Kids 0.
