The kickoff to summer is Memorial Day weekend – and we have the perfect recipe to enjoy with family and friends! These turkey sliders are yummy, easy and versatile enough to serve in a lettuce wrap, simply open-face or in a bun!

Of course, since we are using prepared mustard based sauce, you’ll want to be a label dectective and choose the one with the least and best ingredients. Cilantro is what makes the slaw bright and fresh tasting – but did you know that it provides:

15% of folates,

11% of vitamin B-6 (pyridoxine),

45% of vitamin C,

225% of vitamin A,

258% of vitamin K,

22% of iron and

18% of manganese?
