Turkey Burger Sliders

The Best Turkey Burger is a Slider

A Turkey Burger is way better than most people realize.  I, for one, have been shockingly surprised.  I’m telling you, this literally competes with the best beef burgers. In fact the only thing that would make this recipe any better is bacon! But, I think you’ll love the fresh veggie addition I use as an alternative to more meat and cheese because the patty is already thick enough.  Besides who doesn’t love avocado?

Turkey Burger Sliders

One of the things I love about Turkey Burger Sliders is the health benefits.  Turkey, as everyone knows, is much leaner.  The problem is, because sliders are smaller, I tend to eat more of them.  So I’m not really sure if I really benefiting from the lean meat because I tend to over eat, if I’m not careful.  These burgers are so delicious, it’s hard to not eat more than two or three at time.  But, if one is conscientious and can control their appetite, this can make a perfectly balanced meal.

Rip’N Chick’N Recipe

The BEST Extra Crispy Fried Chicken

This Rip’N Chick’N recipe is as good as any Fried Chicken I’ve ever had. It’s got everything you’d want and expect from great fried chicken. It’s extra crispy, spicy and the chicken is so tender.  The spice comes from Crab Boil seasoning.  This can be brands like Slap Ya Mama, Zatarain’s or even the classic old bay.  But in all honesty I’m not up to speed on the salt content of old Bay because I never buy it.  So be sure you adjust to your specific tastes if the seasoning it self is lacking salt because I don’t add any additional than what’s already in the crab boil seasoning.  It isn’t needed normally because brands like the two I mentioned previously put enough salt in their mixture to flavor water and that’s a lot.  So be careful.

Extra Crispy Fried Chicken Crunch

Everyone loves the “Extra Crispy” in their Fried Chicken.  The Crunch you’ll get from the cornstarch and cooking at a higher temperature(375 F).  The High heat cooks the chicken faster and because we cut our breasts in half it will only take half the time it would normally take and this will give you a more tender and succulent meat.  I’ve also included the way I like to make a creamier ranch dressing with just the store bought packaged seasoning.  What I didn’t mention in the video though however is that you can add some kick by adding Wasabi Paste or something like Sriracha!  Even though the idea of this Chicken recipe is based on Popeye’s Chicken, this is NOT a copycat recipe.  I simply made this the way I like to make my chicken.  So give this a try and thank me later because you won’t regret it!

I’ve included a few other Southern traditional recipes to go with this Fried Chicken if you’re interested in Fried Okra and my Jambalaya recipe.

Broccoli and Cheese Dip with Marinated Artichoke Hearts

The Best Broccoli and Cheese Dip

I love this Broccoli and Cheese Dip and so does my family.  I think this is something you’re bound to fall in love with yourself.  Make no mistake about it. If you’re a Broccoli fan and you love Marinated Artichoke Hearts, this will become one of your regular party, snack or appetizer favorites.  It’s quick, easy and a solid crowd pleaser.  You can serve this hot, with chips, or on a toasted sliced baguette and it’s even better after it’s been refrigerated and used as a spread.  I’m half tempted to even try this over Chicken or stuffed inside a Cordon Bleu, it’s that good!  But don’t take my word for it.

Broccoli and Cheese Dip with Marinated Artichoke Hearts

This Broccoli and Cheese Dip has Marinated Artichoke Hearts in it.  Why?  Because they’re delicious, that’s why.  It can be made without, if you prefer, but I would highly recommend using them because they provide a ton of flavor you’ll have to make up for otherwise.  I think you could pull it off with a little bit of Italian dressing, as an alternative, but I’m talking about pickling and various seasons that are already balanced in a store bought Jar of Artichoke Hearts.  So, like I said, be sure to use the marinated kind.
