  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 12 sliders

Ingredients

– 1 pound ground turkey

– 1 egg

– 4 cloves garlic

– 1 ½ tablespoons soy sauce

– 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

– 2 tablespoons grated onion

– 3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

– ½ teaspoon paprika

– 1 teaspoon onion powder

– 1 teaspoon sea salt

– 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

– 1 to 2 tablespoons neutral oil

– Slider buns

– 1 large tomato

– 1 cup grated cheddar cheese

– 1 cup guacamole

Instructions

First Step: Prepare Ingredients: Measure all ingredients and finely grate the garlic and onion. Chop parsley and slice tomato. Preheat your grill, skillet, or oven.

Second Step: Mix the Patty Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine ground turkey, egg, grated garlic, soy sauce or coconut aminos, Worcestershire sauce, grated onion, chopped parsley, paprika, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Gently mix by hand, taking care not to overwork the meat to keep patties tender.

Third Step: Shape the Patties: Divide the mixture into 8 to 12 equal portions. Shape each into a small, even patty approximately 2 to 3 inches wide. If baking as a slab, press mixture evenly into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.

Fourth Step: Cook the Patties: For baking: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C), place the baking dish in the oven, and bake for 20 minutes. Drain excess liquid.
For pan-frying or grilling: Heat oil in a skillet or grill over medium-high heat. Cook patties for about 4 minutes per side until internal temperature reads 165°F (74°C). Add cheese in the last 2 minutes to melt.

Fifth Step: Prepare Buns and Toppings: Slice slider buns and toast them lightly if desired. Prepare lettuce, tomato slices, guacamole, and any preferred sauces or pickles.

Final Step: Assemble and Serve: For baked sliders, transfer the turkey slab onto the bun bottoms, spread guacamole, add tomato slices and cheese, then cover with bun tops. Brush buns with melted butter and optionally sprinkle with sesame seeds. Bake assembled sliders for 10 minutes at 350°F to melt cheese and toast buns. Slice into individual sliders and serve immediately with additional toppings as desired.
