Asian Turkey Slider Salad

Summer is the season for delicious salads, and we are always experimenting with new flavors and ingredients to find a new favorite to add to our repertoire. The idea for this Asian Turkey Slider Salad started when my teenage son asked for a salad with ground turkey as he was looking for healthy, lean meat option. Asian flavors are always a hit at our house in any form, so making spicy Asian  turkey sliders to add to a salad with more Asian style ingredients was sure to be a winner. The great thing about making sliders is that they take less time on the barbecue, and with the help of Asian flavors from Blue Dragon, this salad came together fast!

Here are the two things that helped me to create the Asian flavors for this dish. I love when you can add a tablespoon here and a dash there and everything things out just fine! I started by adding the a tablespoon of the Thai Red Curry Paste to the ground turkey, along with some green onion and cilantro. Simple and easy. Then I used the Nuoc Cham Dipping Sauce as a drizzle for the salad. My husband said it was amazing! One little grilling tip….if your crown is really hungry and you want dinner to be on the table faster….make sliders instead of full-size patties because they take much less time to grill! 

 This salad is so refreshing and perfect for a hot day!
