Flavorful turkey sliders topped with tangy cranberry sauce and a rich buttery garlic glaze, perfect for parties and game day.


Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Sliders:
  • 1 lb ground turkey
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 cup whole berry cranberry sauce
  • 12 slider buns
  • For the Buttery Garlic Glaze:
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine ground turkey, breadcrumbs, onion, garlic, egg, salt, pepper, and thyme. Mix until just combined.
  3. Form the mixture into 12 small patties, about 2 inches in diameter.
  4. Place patties on prepared baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until cooked through and internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  5. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  6. Stir in honey and parsley, then set aside.
  7. Once patties are done, brush each with the buttery garlic glaze.
  8. Spread a spoonful of cranberry sauce on the bottom half of each slider bun.
  9. Place a turkey patty on top, then cover with the top bun.
  10. Serve warm and enjoy.

Notes

For a spicy twist, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the glaze. Sliders can be assembled ahead and reheated lightly.
