Ranch Turkey Burger Sliders

A tasty spin on a summer burger that packs a punch of ranch flavor. Ground lean turkey breast is combined with just 5 simple ingredients–including cheddar cheese to compliment the ranch, carrots for subtle sweetness and lots of fresh scallions. The burgers are slider-sized, charred on the grill, then layered with mashed avocado and a sweet and tangy slaw. These ones taste just as delicious as cold leftovers, as they do fresh from the grill.

Step 1

Preheat the grill to medium-high.
Step 2

Make the burgers. Add the ground turkey, cheddar cheese, carrots, scallions, ranch seasoning and egg to a large bowl. Use a large fork or clean hands to mix the ingredients together until well combined. Use a ⅓ cup measuring scoop to measure the mixture into equal sized patties, then use wet, clean hands to form the scoop into a flat, round patty. (Note: Using wet hands, the meat sticks less to your skin. Alternatively, you can use plastic gloves to eliminate the meat sticking). Repeat with the remaining mixture, and set the patties onto a sheet pan or a plate.
Step 3

Make the slaw. Add the mayonnaise, sour cream, mustard, honey, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt and pepper to a medium bowl and whisk to combine. Add the cabbage to a separate bowl and top with ¾ of the honey-mustard sauce, setting the remaining sauce aside for the burgers. Toss the slaw to combine and set aside.
Step 4

Use a brush to carefully grease the grill grates with some olive oil. Add the turkey patties, gently press them down with a spatula, close the grill and grill on each side for about 3-4 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Step 5

Serve burgers on buns of your choice, topped with a small amount of the remaining honey-mustard, greens, mashed avocado, onion and slaw.
