Looking for a fun after school snack? These turkey pinwheels are IT! The protein will boost energy and calcium from the cheese is essential for neuron function. Our honey Mustard adds tang and sweetness without refined sugar. Oh wait, did we mention they also happen to be really fun to make and eat!?
Â
1 pound ground dark meat turkey
4 scallions, finely chopped
1/3 cup Tessemae’s Honey Mustard
coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
½ cucumber, thinly sliced
1 avocado, halved and sliced
12 leaves bibb lettuce, or whole grain slider rolls
12 toothpicks
Heat your broiler to high and line a large rimmed baking sheet with foil. In a large bowl, combine the turkey, scallions, 2 tablespoons Honey Mustard, ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Mix just until combined and try not to over mix.
Form the turkey into 12 patties and line them up on the baking sheet. Broil until browned on top, about 8 minutes. Flip over and broil until a thermometer inserted in the center registers 165, about 4 minutes more.
Serve the sliders topped with cucumber, avocado and plenty more Honey Mustard. Wrap in lettuce or slider buns using toothpicks to secure.
Outside of Holiday meals and sandwiches, we often forget about turkey. But it is so tasty and such a great source of lean protein, why not put it in the dinner rotation? In this recipe, we swapped the standard thin chicken breast cutlets for turkey. Roasting a whole turkey breast is also a great dinner option... try it!
Stop! Step away from the wonder bread! Spice up your day after Thanksgiving with this easy meal. If tortilla chips aren't your thing, serve over brown rice.

Knowing where your food comes from is important, and it’s easy to forget that food doesn’t just come from the grocery store. This Thanksgiving we want to try our best to eat conscientiously and deliberately, so we stepped outside of the grocery store and onto a local family owned farm.
