Loaded Turkey Sliders Recipes

LOADED TURKEY SLIDERS

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine turkey, red onion, green onions, egg, hamburger seasoning, Worcestershire sauce and cumin, mixing lightly but thoroughly. Shape into twelve 1/2-in.-thick patties. Grill burgers, covered, over medium heat or broil 4 in. from heat 3-4 minutes on each side or until a thermometer reads 165°., Top with cheese; grill, covered, 30-60 seconds longer or until cheese is melted. Mix mayonnaise and mustard; spread on roll tops. Layer roll bottoms with burger, lettuce and onion. Replace tops.

LIGHTENED-UP ASIAN TURKEY SLIDERS

Steps:

• Special equipment: a 10-by-15-inch broiler-safe rimmed baking sheet
• Position an oven rack 4 to 5 inches from the heating element, and preheat the broiler. Brush a 10-by-15-inch broiler-safe rimmed baking sheet with the oil.
• Put the turkey, egg, breadcrumbs, scallions, fish sauce, red pepper flakes, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper in a large bowl, and mix gently, just enough to incorporate evenly. Drop mounds of the mixture all around the prepared baking sheet, and press them into an even layer. Score the meat into 24 even squares, cutting down almost all the way. Brush the top with the hoisin sauce. Broil until the meat is browned and glazed and registers 165 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer, 8 to 9 minutes.
• Carefully pour off any excess liquid from the cookie sheet. Rescore the meat into 24 sliders, then follow the score lines with a spatula to divide. Top each slider with a cucumber slice and a cilantro leaf.
• While the sliders are cooking, arrange the lettuce, remaining cilantro, carrots, onions and lime wedges on a serving platter. Put the peanuts and Sriracha if using in small serving bowls. Slide a spatula in the pan and let guests build their sliders with their desired toppings.

GROUND TURKEY SLIDERS

Steps:

• Mix mayonnaise, garlic, onion, lemon juice, salt, and pepper together in a bowl. Let set while you make the sliders.
• Mix turkey, red peppers, dressing, sweet onion, garlic, oregano, and thyme together in a large mixing bowl. Cover and let sit in a refrigerator for 5 to 10 minutes.
• Form turkey mixture into patties that are a little larger than your dinner rolls.
• Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Cook patties in the hot oil, turning occasionally, until browned and no longer pink in the centers, 5 to 10 minutes per side.
• Serve with garlic-onion mayonnaise mixture on toasted dinner rolls.

LOADED POTATO SKIN SLIDERS

Steps:

• Prepare the loaded potato skins according to the package directions for the oven.
• Stir together the mayonnaise, mustard, ketchup, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, a pinch of salt and several grinds of black pepper in a small bowl until combined. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
• Season the beef with 1 teaspoon salt and several grinds of black pepper, then divide into 12 equal-sized portions (about 1 1/2 ounces each). Shape each portion into a thin, oval-shaped patty about 3 1/2 inches long; the patties will shrink as they cook.
• Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat and brush lightly with canola oil. Grill the patties until nicely charred and slightly pink on the inside for medium doneness, about 2 minutes per side.
• Put the patties on the cheesy side of 12 loaded potato skins, then top with 2 slices of tomato and some shredded lettuce. Spread the sauce on the stuffed side of the remaining 12 loaded potato skins, then sandwich together to create sliders.

BAKED TURKEY AND CRANBERRY SLIDERS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 9x13-inch pan with cooking spray.
• Whisk melted butter with Dijon mustard, dried onion, and Worcestershire in a small bowl.
• Place the bottom halves of the rolls into the prepared pan. Spread mayonnaise and additional Dijon mustard to taste along the rolls. Spread cranberry sauce. Add turkey and 1/2 slice of cheese to each. Top with arugula and top halves of the rolls. Spread melted butter mixture evenly over tops. Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven, uncover, and continue to bake until cheese is melted, 10 to 15 minutes.
