Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground turkey
- 1 small sweet onion, finely diced
- 1 cup cranberry sauce (homemade or store-bought)
- 12 slider buns
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Fresh spinach or arugula (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Your Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare the Turkey Mixture: In a large bowl, combine ground turkey, diced onion, salt, and pepper. Mix until well blended.
- Shape the Sliders: Divide the turkey mixture into 12 equal portions and shape them into small patties.
- Cook the Patties: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add patties and cook for about 5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/75°C).
- Assemble with Love: Slice slider buns horizontally. Place each turkey patty on the bottom half of a bun, add cranberry sauce, sprinkle with cheddar cheese, and cover with the top bun.
- Bake Those Sliders: Arrange assembled sliders on a baking sheet and bake for about 10 minutes until heated through and cheese is melted.
- Serve Warm: Transfer to plates and top with fresh spinach or arugula for added crunch.
