These fresh turkey burger sliders feature juicy lean turkey patties topped with creamy mashed avocado and crisp alfalfa sprouts, served on soft slider buns. A quick, easy, and crowd-pleasing meal perfect for casual gatherings or weeknight dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground turkey (93% lean)
  • 1 ripe Hass avocado, mashed
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 8 slider buns (whole wheat or gluten-free if preferred)
  • Alfalfa sprouts
  • Thinly sliced red onion
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for cooking and brushing buns)
  • Optional toppings: sliced tomato, pickles, Dijon mustard

Instructions

  1. Prepare the avocado spread: Cut one ripe avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Add 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice, a pinch of salt, and mash until creamy but still a little chunky. Set aside.
  2. Mix the turkey patties: In a mixing bowl, combine 1 pound ground turkey with ½ teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper. Mix gently but thoroughly.
  3. Form the sliders: Divide the turkey mixture into 8 equal portions (about 2 ounces each). Shape each into a small, flat patty about ¾ inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty.
  4. Cook the patties: Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook patties for 5-6 minutes per side until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Avoid pressing down on patties.
  5. Toast the buns: Lightly brush slider buns with olive oil and toast in a pan or oven until golden and slightly crisp.
  6. Assemble the sliders: Spread a generous layer of avocado on each bun bottom. Top with a turkey patty, alfalfa sprouts, a slice of red onion, and optional toppings. Cap with bun tops and serve immediately.

Notes

Do not overwork the turkey meat to keep patties tender. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to ensure even cooking. Use a meat thermometer to check for an internal temperature of 165°F. Toast buns to prevent sogginess. Keep cooked patties warm in a low oven if cooking for a crowd. Avocado spread is best fresh; store separately if preparing ahead.
