Ground Turkey Sliders
This ground turkey sliders recipe makes healthy turkey burgers with onion, lemon, and mint. Perfect weeknight dinner for the family.
Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh ground turkey, (a mixture of dark and white meat)
- 2 tablespoons grated onion
- Finely grated rind and juice of 1 small lemon, preferably organic (about 2 teaspoons zest and 2 to 3 tablespoons juice)
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped mint, plus more to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 12 slider buns, or 4 regular hamburger buns
- 1 small lemon, cut into wedges, for serving
Instructions
- Place all the ingredients except the oil, buns, and lemon wedges in a bowl and mix well with a fork.
- Divide the mixture into 12 equal portions for sliders or 4 equal portions for burgers. Shape each portion into a patty. Place the patties on a parchment-lined sheet pan or large plate, cover, and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour and up to overnight.
- Heat the oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches if necessary so as not to crowd the skillet, add the patties and cook for 4 to 5 minutes on each side for sliders, 6 to 8 minutes on each side for burgers, until golden brown and cooked through to an internal temperature of 165°F.
- Transfer the patties to a warm serving plate and serve immediately with the buns and the lemon wedges for squeezing over the burgers.
