Turkey Sliders

TURKEY SLIDERS



TURKEY SLIDERS 
  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 1/2 onion, dices small 
  • 1 garlic clove, minced 
  • 1 tablespoon chives, diced 
  • 1 teaspoon mayo 
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce 
  • 1/4 teaspoon Tabasco 
  • 1/2 teaspoon Seasoning Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Salt & Pepper 


1. In a mixing bowl add turkey, diced onion, minced garlic, chives, mayo, Worcestershire, Tabasco, seasoning salt, salt, & pepper. Mix by hand until all ingredients are blended together. 


 2. Roll turkey mixture into a ball, 1/4 cup for sliders or 1/2 cup for burgers, place two small plates on the counter facing down, on top put a sheet of wax paper. Place the meat on one plate in the center, top with second piece of wax paper, then use second plate to press down meat into a patty. You can always do this by hand with no plates but I like the consistent shape for cooking evenly. 



3. Lightly salt & pepper both sides of the patties & cook them on an outdoor or indoor grill at medium-high heat for about 3 minutes on each side or until there is no pink in the middle. Longer for full burger size. 


4. Toast the buns, spread with mayo or ketchup, top with gouda cheese, lettuce, arugula, & avocado.

PLATE FINISHED PRODUCT 

TURKEY SLIDERS, SWEET POTATO HASH, & KALE SALAD 


STORY BEHIND THE DISH
I recreated this dish from a dinner I enjoyed at True Food Kitchen in Newport Beach. This dish is originally a turkey burger but I like sliders.

MODIFICATIONS 
The sliders can be topped with anything of your choice, any type of cheese, onions, tomatoes, BBQ sauce, etc. You could use fingerling potatoes or another small potato in place of the sweet potato or yam. The kale salad dressing can be tossed with any green.
