Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • Turkey Burger Sliders
  • 1 pound lean ground turkey
  • 2 tablespoons neutral oil such as avocado or grapeseed
  • 1/2 finely chopped onion
  • 3/4 tablespoon kosher salt
  • Freshly cracked black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 8 slider rolls

Method
 

Step 1: Preheat Your Grill or Griddle
  1. Start by heating your grill or griddle to medium-high heat. If using a grill, prep it with oil to prevent sticking.
Step 2: Prepare the Turkey Mix
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, onion, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Use your hands to mix gently but thoroughly. Overworking the meat can lead to tough sliders.
Step 3: Form the Patties
  1. Divide the mixture into eight equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball, then flatten them into slider-sized patties. The patties should be about ½ inch thick. Don’t forget they will shrink a bit while cooking.
Step 4: Cook the Sliders
  1. Place the patties on your preheated grill or griddle. Cook for approximately 4-5 minutes on one side and then flip. If you’re using cheese, place a slice on each patty just after flipping, allowing it to melt as the other side cooks for another 3-4 minutes.
Step 5: Toast the Buns
  1. While the patties are finishing, slice your slider rolls in half and toast them on the grill or griddle until golden brown. This step adds texture and flavor!
Step 6: Assemble Your Sliders
  1. Once the patties are cooked through and your buns are toasted, it’s time to assemble. Place a slider on the bottom half of each bun, then add your favorite toppings. A slice of crisp lettuce, juicy tomato, or a dollop of mayonnaise works wonders.
Step 7: Serve and Enjoy
  1. Place the other half of the bun on top, and voila! You’ve created the perfect turkey burger sliders ready to impress your guests.

Notes

  • Keep it moist: Adding a bit of oil or using fresh ingredients helps keep the turkey juicy.
  • Don’t overwork the meat: Handle the mixture gently to ensure a tender burger.
  • Make a patty indent: Press a small dimple in the center of each patty. This prevents them from puffing up during cooking.
  • Temperature check: Use a meat thermometer to ensure your sliders reach 165°F for safe consumption.
  • Get creative with toppings: Experiment with different cheeses, avocado slices, or even grilled veggies to add layers of flavor.
