Ingredients

Units Scale

Turkey Burgers

  • 2 pounds ground turkey, 7% fat or greater
  • 2 Tablespoons toum or 6 cloves of minced garlic
  • 1 small onion - 1/2 cup finely diced
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 2 teaspoons Diamond Kosher Salt, + additional for topping* see note about salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs, or traditional
  • 1 cup diced sun-dried tomato in oil
  • 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled

     

  • 16 slider buns, I'm using King's Hawaiian Slider Buns
  • 1 Tablespoon toum, or olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds, toasted or untoasted are fine
  • Flake salt

Cabbage Slaw

  • 2 1/2 cups shredded cabbage, green or purple
  • 2 teaspoons toum or 2 cloves garlic - smashed
  • zest and juice of 1 lemon
  • 2 Tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon Diamond kosher salt*
  • 1 Tablespoon dried mint

Instructions

Turkey Burgers

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and line a 1/4 sheet pan with parchment paper. My best trick for helping it to lay flat is to crumple up the sheet, run under a bit of cold water, squeeze dry then lay flat. Set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, combine your ingredients and mix well.
    • 2 pounds ground turkey, 7% fat or greater
    • 2 Tablespoons toum or 6 cloves of minced garlic
    • 1 small onion - 1/2 cup finely diced
    • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
    • 2 teaspoons Diamond Kosher Salt, + additional for topping* see note about salt
    • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
    • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs, or traditional
    • 1 cup diced sun-dried tomato in oil
    • 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  3. Press your ground turkey mixture into your prepared pan and bake for 20-25 minutes until temperature is 165 degrees Fahrenheit. 
  4. Remove the parchment paper turkey burgers from the tray and set on cutting board. Trim edges if you'd like (a good snack) and then cut into the number of burgers you need. 
  5. Place your slider buns on a tray (can be same one as you used for turkey burgers, simply wipe clean). Add each slider burger into center then top with bun.
  6. Smear a bit of toum on all the tops of your burger buns, then flake salt and sesame seeds. Bake for another 5 minutes until just slightly golden brown.* Sub olive oil and a smashed garlic clove if you don't have toum
  7. Remove and top burgers with cabbage slaw - enjoy! 

Cabbage Slaw

  1. In a medium-sized bowl, add your dressing ingredients and whisk well:
    • 2 teaspoons toum or 2 cloves garlic - smashed/minced
    • zest and juice of 1 lemon
    • 2 Tablespoons olive oil
    • 1 teaspoon Diamond kosher salt*
    • 1 Tablespoon dried mint
  2. Add in your shredded cabbage and mix to fully coat. Set aside and enjoy with sliders. 

Notes

  • If using Morton's kosher salt, reduce to 1.5 teaspoons - if using table salt, reduce to 1 teaspoon
  • Be sure to purchase ground turkey that is at least 7% fat or greater for best results
  • If you don't have toum for the tops of your slider buns, simply finely mince or smash a clove of garlic and add a tablespoon of olive oil and spread on tops then top with sesame seeds.
