Poppers
By Suzanne Y. from Mobile County Public School System, Mobile, AL.
Description
A delightful main dish mixture of Brown Rice, Sweet Potatoes, Smoked Deli Turkey Roll and Cheese encrusted in bread crumbs. Once baked, you bite into a crunchy crust with melted cheese and the hint of sweet and smokey flavors. The flavors just make you want to "pop" more into your mouth, hence the name, "Poppers".
