Equipment
Method
- Preheat your grill or skillet to medium-high heat, around 375°F (190°C).
- In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined to avoid overworking the meat.
- Form the mixture into 8 small patties, about 1/2 inch thick. Make a small indentation in the center of each patty to prevent them from puffing up during cooking.
- Place the patties on the grill or skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- During the last minute of cooking, add a piece of cheese to each patty and allow it to melt.
- Toast the slider buns on the grill or in a toaster.
- Assemble the sliders by placing lettuce and tomato on the bottom bun, followed by the turkey patty with cheese, and the top bun.
Notes
Chef's Tips:
• For juicier sliders, add a tablespoon of mayonnaise to the turkey mixture.
• Avoid overmixing the meat to keep the sliders tender.
• Serve with a side of coleslaw or sweet potato fries for a complete meal.
Food Safety:
• Cook turkey to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) to ensure it's safe to eat.
• Store leftovers in the refrigerator within two hours of cooking.
