Ingredients

For the sliders

For the buns and toppings

  • Slider buns or Hawaiian rolls
  • Cheese slices cheddar, provolone, or pepper jack
  • Lettuce
  • Tomato slices
  • Onion slices
  • Pickles
  • Ketchup, mayo, mustard, or BBQ sauce

Instructions

  • In a big bowl, mix the ground turkey, breadcrumbs, egg, Worcestershire sauce, and all the seasonings. Use your hands to blend it well. It feels a little sticky, but that is how you know it is coming together right.
  • Take small handfuls of the mix and shape them into mini patties. You should get around 8 to 10 sliders, depending on size.
  • Warm a skillet or pan with a little oil over medium heat. Cook each patty for about 3 to 4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
  • When the patties are almost done, place a slice of cheese on each one and cover the pan for 30 seconds so it melts nicely.
  • Toast your slider buns for a few seconds on the pan. Then build your sliders with lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, and sauce. Stack it up and serve warm.

Notes

Tips and Variations

  • Add shredded cheese or a spoon of mayo into the mix for extra juicy sliders.
  • Mix in chopped jalapenos or a dash of hot sauce if your family likes a little spice.
  • You can prep the patties in advance and keep them in the fridge for up to two days before cooking.
  • Freeze cooked sliders for up to two months for a quick meal later.
  • Try different sauces like ranch, honey mustard, or chipotle mayo for fun flavor twists.
