More About This Recipe

  • I think it's pretty obvious that these leftover turkey tater sliders are only the most awesome things ever. Oh hi, delicious leftover garlic mashed potatoes. Nice to see you. And hello, chopped juice turkey. You're lookin' fine. And bonjour, pungent earthy herbs. I like you. Oh what's that, you're all being mashed together and rolled into little balls of Thanksgiving happiness? I can dig. And then being lightly crisped in a sauté pan until you're golden brown with comfort and joy for my mouth? Why, thank you. And then being slid into a sliced warm dinner roll and topped with a bright cranberry sauce drizzle? Let's run away together. No, I'm serious. Get your kids to make these. Tiiiiiiime of their lives. (That way you can concentrate on that Bloody Mary*, I mean, am I right?)
