Turkey Sliders


Ground turkey was on sale this week, soo....  Turkey sliders.  The slider show on the left at the front is a steakhouse slider with fried onion straws,  Muenster cheese, and Ring of Fire steak sauce.  The front left slider is a bacon barbecue slider, with JR's Original Barbecue sauce (http://www.jrsbarbq.com/), tomato, and crispy bacon.  The slider in the back is a California jack slider, with Avocado relish (avocado, tomato, garlic, and onion), and pepper jack cheese.  The slider preparation is mostly the same for each of these sliders.

Slider meat:
Using a slider press, make patties from about 1.5 oz of ground turkey.  Salt and pepper both sides.  Grill the patties (best over fire, but a Foreman Grill will work just the same).  Using a thermometer, ensure that the turkey is at an internal temperature of 165 degrees (unless you want to die).

Avocado relish:
Dice 1 small onion, 2 or 3 Roma tomatoes, 1 clove of garlic, and 1 avocado.  Combine the diced vegetables with 1 TBSP chopped fresh cilantro.  Add salt and pepper to taste.  Finally, mix in the juice of one lime.

Everything else was either store-bought or easy enough to make that I will not detail it here (i.e. onion straws).    We enjoyed them immensely, and we hope you will too!
