Once upon a time, my mom came up with this brilliant hack for Easy Turkey Burger Sliders! Itโ€™s so easy, Iโ€™m almost embarrassed I didnโ€™t think of it myself years ago.

What incredients do I need for Easy Turkey Burger Sliders?

  • Ground turkey โ€“ I like Lean Ground Turkey from Jennie-O, which is a 93%/7% combination โ€” if you go extra lean, youโ€™ll lose the fat (meaning: flavor) and your burgers might be a little dry. Donโ€™t be afraid of the 85%/15% mix of ground turkey either โ€“ itโ€™s awesome for turkey burgers! Remember, a little fat is your friend when it comes to burgers.
  • Salt and pepper
  • Slider buns โ€“ I like to find the Brioche option at my grocery store but any slider buns will work.

How do I make Easy Turkey Burger Sliders?

  • Pro tip: start with frozen ground turkey! Defrost just enough to be able to slice through it with a knife but not so much that it is 100% defrosted. This will help keep your slider patties together.
  • Take the pound of ground turkey and cut through with a sharp knife to make 6 evenly spaced square patties. (You will NOT be mixing anything into the ground turkey. Just make 6 slider patties from the ground turkey directly out of its tray pack. The key to keeping these juicy is not mixing/stirring up the ground turkey.)
  • Salt and pepper both sides of the ground turkey slider patties.
  • Pan fry in either a nonstick pan or cast iron pan on your stovetop. This will take approximately 6-7 minutes per side.
  • Cook patties until the temperature on a meat thermometer reaches 165 degrees F.
  • Take off the heat, add cheese if you like.
  • Serve with the Brioche slider buns and your choice of condiments.

I told you these Easy Turkey Burger Sliders are, well, super easy! And by not over-mixing the turkey, your burgers will always turn out juicy. Just make sure you use a meat thermometer (like this one) to ensure the proper temperature is reached.
