Method
 

How to Make Ground Turkey Sliders
  1. Preheat your grill to medium heat, about 350°F (175°C). Alternatively, heat a skillet over medium heat. This ensures a perfect sear for your delicious sliders.
  2. Combine the ground turkey, breadcrumbs, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper in a large bowl. Mix gently until just combined to keep the mixture tender and juicy.
  3. Divide the mixture into 6 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about one inch thick. This helps them cook evenly and maintain their juicy texture.
  4. Cook the patties on your grill or in the skillet for about 5-7 minutes per side. They are done when they reach an internal temperature of at least 165°F (74°C).
  5. Toast the slider buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown. This adds a delightful crunch and sweetness to every bite!
  6. Assemble the sliders by placing the patties on the buns and adding your favorite toppings. Get creative with layers to make them even more mouthwatering!

Notes

Handle the turkey gently to prevent the patties from becoming dense. Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness; turkey should reach an internal temperature of 165°F. Mix just until combined for juicy sliders. Allow the patties to rest a few minutes after cooking before assembling.
