Best Spinach Turkey Sliders Recipes

TURKEY SPINACH SLIDERS

Steps:

• Combine spinach, scallions, garlic, turkey, and cumin in a medium bowl; season with salt and pepper. Using a fork, mix gently just to combine. Form turkey mixture into twelve 1/2"-thick patties.
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Working in 2 batches, cook patties until golden brown and cooked through (resist the temptation to press down on patties with your spatula while cooking), about 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.
• Serve turkey-spinach patties on buns with mayonnaise, onion, and pickles.
• DO AHEAD: Patties can be formed 1 day ahead. Cover and chill. Bring to room temperature before cooking.

SPINACH-TURKEY SLIDERS

Steps:

• Chop 3 cups of the spinach. In 12-inch nonstick skillet, heat 1 teaspoon of the oil over medium-high heat. Add chopped spinach; cook and stir 1 minute or until wilted. Drain, if necessary.
• In large bowl, mix turkey, wilted spinach, 2 tablespoons of the pesto and the pepper. Shape mixture into 12 patties, 1/4 inch thick.
• In same skillet, heat 1 teaspoon oil over medium-high heat. Add 6 of the patties; cook 4 to 6 minutes, turning once, until thermometer inserted in center of patties reads 165°F. Remove patties from skillet to platter; sprinkle each with 2 teaspoons cheese. Cover to keep warm. Repeat with remaining 1 teaspoon oil, 6 patties and cheese.
• Meanwhile, in small bowl, mix mayonnaise and remaining 2 tablespoons pesto.
• For each slider, spread 2 1/2 teaspoons mayonnaise mixture on bun bottom. Top with burger and remaining spinach; cover with bun top.

• In a large bowl, combine all ingredients for burgers (except the arugula and rolls) and mix well with hands until all ingredients are well incorporated.
• Shape into small patties; cook over medium heat in a skillet until cooked through, 3-4 minutes per side. (These can also be made an a counter top grill, about 4 minutes total.).
• While burgers are cooking, place sliced rolls cut side up on a baking sheet. Bake for 3-4 minutes, until lightly toasted.
• Assemble sliders: for each slider, spread aioli on both cut sides of a pretzel roll. Place a patty and arugula the bottom half of the roll, then top with other half of roll.
