Mini Turkey Burger Sliders With Cheese Recipe
Flavorful, easy-to-make mini turkey sliders that are juicy and perfect for parties or weeknight dinners.
Equipment
- Large Bowl
- Small Bowl
- Fork
- Grill or Skillet
- Spatula
- Meat Thermometer
Ingredients
- 1 large egg
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 2 teaspoons parsley dried or fresh, chopped if fresh
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- slider buns and cheese slider-sized buns and cheese slices as desired
Instructions
- Lightly beat the egg in a small bowl with a fork until the yolk breaks.
- In a large bowl combine the ground turkey, beaten egg, panko breadcrumbs, onion powder, paprika, parsley, salt, and pepper.
- Oil your hands lightly to prevent sticking and gently mix the ingredients by hand until just combined; avoid overmixing.
- Divide the mixture into eight equal portions, shape into small round balls, then flatten each into a thin patty sized for sliders.
- Cook the patties over medium heat on a preheated grill or in a skillet for about 3 minutes per side, until an instant-read thermometer registers 160°F (71°C) in the center.
- If desired, top each hot patty with a slice of cheese to melt, then place on slider buns and serve.
Notes
- Lightly oiling your hands helps keep the turkey burgers from sticking and adds juiciness.
- Mix ingredients just until combined to avoid a crumbly texture.
- Flatten patties thin since they will shrink while cooking.
- Use sharp cheddar for extra flavor if you like.
- Check internal temperature to ensure burgers reach 160°F (71°C).
