4-6ouncesof Havarti cheeseshredded
3cupsfresh baby spinach or tender lettuce
creamy blue cheese or ranch dressing
Instructions
In a large bowl mix together the turkey, egg, bread crumbs, onion, buffalo sauce, garlic powder, and black pepper. Form the mixture into 16 small patties.
Heat the oil in a skillet and pre-heat the oven to 375. Spray a baking pan with non-stick cooking spray.
Brown the burgers a few at a time in the skillet and then transfer them to the baking sheet.
Bake the burgers for 15-20 minutes, turning once, until they are cooked through.
Assemble the sliders by placing one cooked patty on each bun, topping the hot burgers with some of the shredded Havarti cheese, placing a few leaves of lettuce or spinach on top of that, and then drizzling each with more buffalo sauce. Spread the top bun with the blue cheese dressing or save it on the side for dipping
Notes
Ground turkey can be soft -- if you feel like the mixture is too wet when forming the patties feel free to add a few more bread crumbs or oats to pull it together.
