Spinach Turkey Sliders Recipes

SPINACH-TURKEY SLIDERS

Steps:

• Chop 3 cups of the spinach. In 12-inch nonstick skillet, heat 1 teaspoon of the oil over medium-high heat. Add chopped spinach; cook and stir 1 minute or until wilted. Drain, if necessary.
• In large bowl, mix turkey, wilted spinach, 2 tablespoons of the pesto and the pepper. Shape mixture into 12 patties, 1/4 inch thick.
• In same skillet, heat 1 teaspoon oil over medium-high heat. Add 6 of the patties; cook 4 to 6 minutes, turning once, until thermometer inserted in center of patties reads 165°F. Remove patties from skillet to platter; sprinkle each with 2 teaspoons cheese. Cover to keep warm. Repeat with remaining 1 teaspoon oil, 6 patties and cheese.
• Meanwhile, in small bowl, mix mayonnaise and remaining 2 tablespoons pesto.
• For each slider, spread 2 1/2 teaspoons mayonnaise mixture on bun bottom. Top with burger and remaining spinach; cover with bun top.

SPINACH AND TURKEY PATTIES WITH SPICED CARROTS

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler. Process 2 pita quarters in a food processor to make coarse crumbs. Add the red onion and pulse until finely chopped. Add the turkey, spinach, ras el hanout, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper; pulse until combined. Form the mixture into twelve 4-inch-long, 1/2-inch-thick oval patties on a baking sheet. Brush the patties with 1 tablespoon olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Broil until lightly golden and cooked through, about 6 minutes.
• Meanwhile, crush the coriander seeds with the flat side of a knife. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat; add the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil. Add the carrots and coriander and cook, stirring occasionally, until the carrots are tender, 7 to 9 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the cilantro and orange juice; season with salt and pepper.
• Divide the turkey patties, carrots and the remaining pita quarters among plates. Top the patties with the yogurt and sprinkle the dish with more cilantro.

TURKEY SPINACH SLIDERS

• Serve turkey-spinach patties on buns with mayonnaise, onion, and pickles.
• DO AHEAD: Patties can be formed 1 day ahead. Cover and chill. Bring to room temperature before cooking.
