Christine Cushing’s Turkey Red Pepper Sliders My fire roasted peppers mixed directly into the ground meat add not only beautiful sweetness, but moisture to these scrumptious burgers. You can substitute chicken for the turkey or make them full size if
you prefer.
1 lb ground turkey meat
2 green onions, finely chopped
1 Tbsp fresh chopped rosemary
1/2 tsp fresh sage
2 Tbsp bread crumbs
1 egg
1/4 cup CC’s roasted red peppers
salt and pepper to taste
12 mini burger buns (or 5 large)
Sliced tomato, optional
Lettuce, optional
Preheat grill on high and oil well. Alternatively, preheat oven to 400ºF.
In a medium bowl combine the turkey meat, green onions, rosemary, sage, bread crumbs, egg, roasted peppers, salt and freshly cracked black peppers. Work gently with hands just to blend.
Form into 15 mini sliders or 5 larger burgers, pressing down to an even 1/2 inch thickness.
Grill on BBQ about 5 minutes per side or until juices no longer run pink and thermometer reads 165 degrees when inserted sideways into middle of burger.
Serve in a toasted bun with slices of tomatoes and lettuce and more red pepper, if desired. Makes 15 sliders or 5 full size burgers
