Ingredients
- 2 Lbs. ground turkey
- 1 and 1/4 TBSP minced garlic
- 1/4 Cup bread crumbs, plain or seasoned
- 2 Eggs
- 1/4 Cup red onion, minced
- 1/4 Cup fresh curly parsley, finely chopped
- 1-2 TBSP Worcestershire sauce (optional)
- 2 TSP Onion salt
- 1/4 TSP Pepper
- 12 Mini pretzel buns
- Mini pickles (gherkins)
- Alfalfa Sprouts (spring salad mix) marinated in 1/2 TBSP olive oil, 1 TBSP red wine vinegar, 2-3 sprinkles of salt and pepper (to taste)
- Yellow Mustard (for the bottom of the slider buns)
Instructions
- Prepare the patties. Mince the onion and finely chop the parsley. In a large bowl place the ground turkey, minced garlic, bread crumbs, eggs, red onion, curly parsley, worcestershire sauce (If using), onion salt and pepper. Mix all ingredients together with your hands.
- Once mixed well, use a 1/4 cup to scoop out some of the mixture and use your hands to form them into mini patties. Place on a baking sheet that is sprayed with non-stick spray. Once you are finished set aside.
- In a bowl, mix the alfalfa sprouts, olive oil, red wine vinegar, salt and pepper. Once mixed, place in the fridge to cool until ready to construct sliders.
- Cut your tomatoes and place them on a plate. Place them in the fridge to cool until ready to construct the sliders.
- Heat your grill to 300 degrees. Place the patties on the grill for 7-10 minutes on each side or until the patties are no longer pink.
- Towards the end of the slider cooking process, add the mini buns to the grill and toast for 3-5 minutes.
- When patties are fully cooked and buns are nice and toasty, remove from the grill and bring inside to construct.
Assembling the Sliders:
- Remove your chilled sliced tomatoes and marinated alfalfa sprouts from the fridge.
- Take the bottom half of the bun and spread yellow mustard out evenly.
- Take one slice of your tomato and place it on top of the mustard.
- Place the cooked turkey patty and place ontop of the tomato.
- Take a few pinches of your marinated alfalfa sprouts and place them on top of the patty.
- Take your top bun and place it on top of the sprouts.
- To secure and garnish, use a toothpick of your choice and skewer one pickle and place in the the middle of the bun and push down.
- Place on serving vessel of choice and serve immediately.
- ENJOY!
