Servings: 6 servings

Ingredients

  • 1.5 pounds ground turkey
  • 1/4 cup seasoned bread crumbs
  • 1/4 cup finely diced onion
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil for cooking
  • 12 slider rolls
  • 2 ounces lettuce
  • 2 roma tomatoes sliced
  • 1/4 red onion thinly sliced
  • 6 slices cheddar cheese or Colby Jack optional, add to patties to melt
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 teaspoons ranch seasoning to mix into mayo

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, bread crumbs, diced onion, chopped parsley, egg, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper; mix gently with your hands or a spoon until just combined, taking care not to overwork the meat.
  • Divide the mixture into 12 equal portions, roll each into a ball, and press each ball flat to form slider-sized patties about the thickness you prefer.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot.
  • Place the patties in the skillet (work in batches if needed) and cook 2–4 minutes per side, until an instant-read thermometer inserted to the center reads 165°F (74°C).
  • If using cheese, top 6 of the patties with a slice during the last minute of cooking and cover the pan briefly to melt.
  • While patties cook, mix the mayonnaise and ranch seasoning together in a small bowl.
  • To assemble each slider: spread the ranch mayo on the inside top of each roll, place the bottom roll, add lettuce, a tomato slice, a few rings of red onion, the turkey patty (with cheese if used), and finish with the dressed top roll.

Equipment

  • Large Bowl
  • Large skillet or frying pan
  • Measuring Cups and Spoons
  • Spatula or tongs
  • Knife and cutting board
  • mixing spoon or hands
  • measuring scale or scoop (optional)

Notes

  • Ground turkey can be substituted with ground chicken if desired.
  • Replace breadcrumbs with crushed crackers like Ritz or saltines if needed.
  • If you don’t have an egg, use 3 tablespoons mayonnaise as a binder.
  • Cook patties in batches to avoid overcrowding the skillet.
  • Mix ranch seasoning into mayo just before serving for best flavor.
