Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound lean ground turkey
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 8 pieces whole wheat slider buns
- 1 cup fresh spinach leaves
- 1 medium sliced tomatoes
- 0.5 medium red onion
- 1 medium avocado
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground turkey, onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, low-sodium soy sauce, and black pepper. Mix until well blended.
Form the mixture into 8 small patties, ensuring they are of equal size for even cooking.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add olive oil.
Cook the turkey patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side until they are browned and cooked through to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
While the patties are cooking, prepare the toppings. Slice the tomato and red onion, and set aside.
In a small bowl, mash the avocado with lemon juice and a pinch of salt until smooth.
Once the patties are cooked, assemble the sliders. Begin with a whole wheat slider bun, add a patty, then top with a spoonful of avocado mash, a layer of spinach leaves, a tomato slice, and a few red onion rings.
Finish with the top half of the bun. Repeat for each slider.
Serve immediately for the best taste and texture. Enjoy your heart-healthy burger sliders!
