Turkey Burger Sliders

Turkey Burger Sliders

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 pounds ground turkey or chicken (makes Chicken Burger Sliders)
• 1/3 cup fresh parsley, minced
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 shallots, minced
• 1 egg yolk
• Sea salt
• Freshly cracked pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 12 mini burger buns or small soft dinner rolls, warmed in the oven
• 12 small lettuce leaves
• 12 slices tomato
• 1 cup thinly sliced red onions
• Mayonnaise
• Mustard
• Ketchup

Directions

Mix together the turkey, parsley, cumin, paprika, garlic, shallots and egg yolk in a large bowl. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and mix. Divide the turkey mixture into 12 equal portions and, using your hands, shape into 12 small burgers about 3 1/2 inches wide.

Heat the oil in a pan and cook the burgers until a thermometer inserted into the center registers
165 degrees F, about 3 minutes per side.

Serve the burgers on the mini buns with the lettuce, tomato and onions. Garnish with mayonnaise, mustard and ketchup to your liking.

Tip:  If you don't have mini buns, get regular hamburger buns and a round cookie cutter (a little bigger than the slider and cut!)

Enjoy...
