Day 26: Turkey Feta Sliders



This gorgeous little gem of a recipe was brought to my attention by the Pioneer Woman, and the recipe is thanks to Picky Palate. I didn't have sun-dried tomatoes and I couldn't find the mini burger buns, so I substituted my favorite bread on the face of the planet, Hawaiian Sweet Rolls. As my favorite college roomie would say, Hawaiian Sweet Bread will rock your face off!

Turkey Feta Sliders
What you'll need:
1 lb ground turkey
2 T extra virgin olive oil
1/2 c crumbled feta cheese
1/2 c fresh tomatoes, diced
1/2 c fresh spinach, chopped
Pepper to taste
Lawry’s Garlic Salt with Parsley to taste

Mayonnaise
Hawaiian Sweet Bread Rolls, split
2 c fresh spinach leaves

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Place diced tomatoes in skillet and heat until tender. Remove the tomatoes. Mix turkey, feta, tomatoes, spinach and seasonings in a large bowl until just combined.  Form 1/4 Cup small patties and place onto a cookie sheet.  Once all are formed, place patties in the hot skillet.  Cook for 3-4 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through.

Spread mayonnaise over insides of warm rolls.  Layer bottom roll with spinach and the burger.  Close it with the top roll and eat to your heart's content! Yields about 12 sliders.

Ratings from the Experts*: 8/10 The bread was a phenomenal pairing with the patties as I figured they would be. I loved the flavor of the patties, but felt something was missing. My hubby said it needed pickles. I'm not totally sold on that, but it's worth a shot. Regardless, great flavor overall!
