Perfect for a party, barbecue, or a simple dinner, these sliders are stuffed with peppers, onions, and southwest flavor. Served with spicy chipotle mayo, they are out of this world! So simple and delicious!
We loooove grilling burgers in our house. Something about summer just makes us want to spend all our time outside. Living in Missouri, it gets cold and snowy in the winter, so by the time Spring and Summer roll around, we are ready to get out of the house! I love that there are so many things we can grill, and there is something magical about grilling and eating outside. Now if only we could find a way to get rid of those pesky mosquitoes……………
While I love a good beef burger, I can only eat so many beef burgers without getting a liiittle tired of them. Turkey burgers are a great way to mix things up, and these Fiesta Turkey Burgers are so flavorful! I simply used lean ground turkey and mixed in some fresh peppers and onion. The result is fabulous! Serve these on homemade whole wheat dinner rolls for extra goodness.

Oh my gosh – those dinner rolls!! I think I would eat a piece of leather if you put it in one of those dinner rolls! Luckily, the turkey sliders also look amazing and the leather isn’t necessary : )
Kalee says
Haha, yes the sliders are great, no leather necessary 🙂
