Description
These delicious, moist turkey burger sliders are given a Hawaiian make-over with grilled pineapple, teriyaki sauce, and a jalapeno-lime slaw.
Ingredients
Scale
For the Sliders:
- 1/2 pound ground turkey breast
- 1/2 pound ground turkey thigh
- 1 large shallot, minced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons freshly grated ginger
- 2 tablespoons teriyaki sauce (plus more for serving)
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- Mozzarella or provolone cheese (optional)
- 8 pineapple slices
- 8 sweet Hawaiian slider rolls
For the Jalapeno Slaw:
- 2 cups shredded cabbage
- 1 cup shredded carrot
- 1 medium jalapeno, seeded and julienned
- 1 lime, juiced
- 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- Pepper
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- In a hot skillet, heat one tablespoon of olive oil and saute the minced shallot and garlic until softened, but not browned. Let cool.
- Slice the pineapple into half-inch thick slices and grill the pieces until browned and caramelized on each side. Set aside.
- Make the slaw. Combine the olive oil, sesame oil, sea salt, pepper, and lime in a mason jar and shake well to combine the dressing. Toss the dressing with the cabbage, cilantro, carrot, and jalapeno.
- In a large bowl, mix the ground turkey with the shallot/garlic mixture, freshly grated ginger, teriyaki sauce, sesame oil, and a pinch of sea salt and pepper. Form into slider patties. You should get between 8-10, depending on size.
- Grill the sliders in a hot, greased grill pan until browned on both sides and a thermometer reads 165°F. This should take about 3-6 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of your slider. If using, place your cheese of choice on the sliders to melt.
- In the meantime, toast the slider buns.
- Assemble the sliders. Top a Hawaiian roll with a turkey slider, generous drizzle of teriyaki sauce, grilled pineapple, and jalapeno slaw. Serve additional slaw on the side. Enjoy!
