Coconut Quinoa Crusted Turkey Sliders With Apple Slaw

Coconut Quinoa Crusted Turkey Sliders With Apple Slaw Prep time: 15 mins Cook time: 25 mins Serves: 4

Ingredients

  • 3 - fresh thinly sliced turkey cutlets
  • 1/2 cup - quinoa flakes
  • 1/2 cup - unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 2 - eggs
  • 2 - radishes
  • 1 - granny smith apple
  • 1 TBSP - hoisin sauce
  • 2 TBSP - apple cider vinegar
  • 1 TSP - dijon mustard
  • 1 TBSP - chopped basil
  • Sea salt and pepper
  • 1 - package whole wheat slider buns (thin)

Instructions

  1. 1 Preheat the oven to 375F
  2. 2 Prepare to dredge the turkey. In a bowl, scramble egg and add 1 tablespoon of water along with salt and pepper. In a separate bowl, combine quinoa flakes and shredded coconut. Dredge the turkey slices in the egg mixture, and then bread with the flakes and coconut. Lay into a non-stick baking dish. The cutlets shouldn’t stick, but you may choose to add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the dish to be sure.
  3. 3 Bake the turkey cutlets for 25 minutes, or until cooked all the way through. After 15 minutes, flip each piece, and move to a higher spot in the oven to brown the edges. You can also turn the broiler on, but don’t let the cutlets sit under the broiler for more than a couple of minutes.
  4. 4 While the cutlets are baking, make the apple slaw. Thinly slice apple and radish into matchsticks. Combine vinegar and Dijon in a bowl then mix in salt, pepper, apple, radish and basil. Set aside.
  5. 5 Toast whole-wheat buns. When ready to serve, add a small amount of Hoisin sauce to one side of the bun, then top turkey with apple slaw mixture.

Notes

Tips:
Depending on how many guests you have, you may choose to stack slices of turkey cutlets, to create a more substantial portion and add a bit of drama.
Make Ahead:
The apple slaw mixture can be made up to 1 day in advance and refrigerated.
Substitutions:
If you can’t find quinoa flakes, you can use a gluten free flour, or oats (just not instant oats). You could also serve the turkey with lettuce wraps for a gluten-free dish.
Pairings:
Cucumber Hummus Scoops. Cucumber Avocado Hazelnut Salad. Mango Avocado Salad.
