Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground Turkey
  • 1 large egg
  • ¼ cup panko breadcrumbs
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • 1 tablespoon minced red onion
  • 6 Mozzarella Cheese slices
  • Slider buns 12 count (hawaiian rolls)
  • 3 tablespoon unsalted butter melted
  • 1 tablespoon ranch seasoning

Garlic Dill Aioli

  • ¾ cup Mayo
  • 2 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chopped dill
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Burger Toppings

  • Butter lettuce
  • Tomato slices

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine ground turkey, egg, breadcrumbs, salt, pepper, and minced red onion. Mix until just combined.
  • Lightly spray a casserole dish with non-stick cooking spray. *We used a 10.5x7.5” casserole dish as this was roughly the same size as the slider buns which made it easy to perfectly fit the turkey burger*
  • Scoop ground turkey into the casserole dish and use a spatula to spread to cover the bottom of the dish and smooth the top.
  • Place into the oven on the center rack and bake 12 minutes
  • Meanwhile, prepare garlic dill aioli. Combine ingredients in a small mixing bowl and whisk well.
  • Slice sliders in half and place cut side up. Scoop a spoonful of the aioli onto the top of each slider bun. Spread.
  • Remove turkey burger from the oven and lower the oven to 375 degrees.
  • Carefully lift the turkey burger out of the casserole dish and place onto cutting board.
  • Wipe the casserole dish clean, then add the bottom half of the slider buns and place turkey burger on top.
  • Cover the turkey burger with slices of mozzarella cheese, then add the top of the slider buns.
  • Brush the top of the buns with melted butter, then sprinkle with ranch seasoning.
  • Place back into the oven and bake for 10 minutes
  • Add your favorite toppings to the sliders and slice. Enjoy!

Notes

  •  
  • Use pre-sliced cheese to save time and effort when preparing your sliders.
  • Be careful not to overwork the ground turkey, as this can lead to tough, dense burgers. Just mix until combined.
  • Try adding moisture-retaining ingredients like grated vegetables (e.g., zucchini, carrots, or mushrooms) to the mix.
  • To guarantee your burger is cooked to a safe internal temperature, check with an instant-read thermometer that it's 165°F (74°C).
  • Use a sharp knife with a serrated edge to cut rolls so you don't tear them.
