Open-Faced Turkey Sliders

Today while making changes to my new blog, my daughter began complaining about how "STARVING" she was - as if she didn't just have snack at school and again when she came home.  I promised her that as soon as I finished my last post, I would head to the kitchen and whip something up in a flash.  Although I wasn't quite sure what I was going to make.  After perusing my refrigerator, I found some leftover turkey meat from a spaghetti recipe that I had created a few days ago (which will be posted soon), & voila:  Open-faced turkey sliders and Sweet Potato "Fries"!!!

1. Add chopped garlic, onion, pepper, and salt to ground turkey and mix (with hands or utensil) until well blended.
2. Lightly coat saucepan with Olive Oil (nonstick pan or grill is ideal)
