Description
These juicy turkey burger sliders come together in 15 minutes with just 5 ingredients. Perfect for backyard BBQs or easy weeknight dinners.
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon ketchup
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 slider buns (we love brioche or traditional burger slider buns here)
- burger toppings: lettuce, tomato, fried onions, American cheese, pickle slice
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, mix together ground turkey, mayonnaise, ketchup, salt, Worcestershire sauce, and black pepper, just until combined, being careful to not over mix.
- Divide mixture into 8 sections and shape each section into a patty shape, about 3 inches in diameter. Make an indent in the middle with fingers to help prevent meat from puffing up in the center.
- Heat grill over medium high heat and grill sliders for about 3-4 minutes per side, until burgers reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees F.
- Let burgers rest for at least 5 minutes before digging in.
Notes
Storage: Store leftover turkey burger patties in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. Reheat in a hot skillet or air fryer just until warmed through. Don’t overcook or they’ll toughen up.
Ingredients: The mayo is non-negotiable for texture. You won’t taste it, but it makes a real difference in keeping the meat moist. Worcestershire adds depth without making these taste like anything other than a great burger.
Prep ahead: Form patties up to 24 hours ahead and store covered in the fridge. They’re also freezer-friendly. Freeze raw patties on a lined sheet pan until solid, then transfer to a labeled freezer bag. Cook from frozen by adding a few extra minutes per side.
Tools: A meat thermometer is the only tool you really need here. Turkey must reach 165°F internally and you can’t judge it by color alone.
