Apple Cranberry Brie Turkey Burger Sliders
Description
The recipe starts by gently combining 93% lean ground turkey with panko breadcrumbs, olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to form tender patties. The sliders are cooked in a skillet over medium-high heat for about 2.5 minutes per side.
Buns are sliced and optionally toasted with a butter or oil brush for texture. Brie slices are added to the buns to melt slightly with residual warmth. The sliders are assembled with fresh spinach, thin slices of Fuji apple for crunch and sweetness, and dollops of leftover cranberry sauce and fig preserves for tart and fruity contrast.
This layered flavor and texture profile delivers juicy turkey, creamy cheese, crisp apple, and sweet-sour accents in a convenient slider size. The sliders are suitable for small gatherings or casual meals.
The recipe notes that nutrition facts were estimated online and encourages adjustment. Maintaining gentle mixing ensures burger tenderness, and simultaneous toasting and melting helps synchronize serving temperature and texture.
Ingredients
- ½ lb ground turkey (93% for best results)
- ¼ cup panko
- ½ TBSP olive oil
- ⅛ tsp garlic powder
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- 1 TBSP cooking oil for the pan
- 4 whole grain seeded rolls or buns
- spinach fresh leaves, handful
- 1 Fuji apple cut into thin stackable slices, small
- 4 oz Brie cheese sliced
- 3-4 TBSP cranberry sauce leftover
- 3-4 TBSP fig preserves
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven or toaster oven to 350 degrees F.
- Combine ground turkey, panko, olive oil, garlic power, and salt and pepper [to taste] in a bowl.
- Gently mix with your fingers until just barely incorporated. Overmixing can toughen burgers.
- Divide into four portions and gently form each into a slider-sized patty.
- Heat skillet with around 1/2-1 TBSP of olive oil to medium high heat. Our burner was set to 7.
- Cook burgers for 2.5 minutes on each side and remove from heat.
- While the burgers are cooking, slice your buns in half [if not already sliced] and brush with butter or oil [optional!] and lightly toast them atop a baking sheet. Since I like my brie melty, I added a thick wedge of brie to the top of each bun, and lightly rubbed the bottom bun with olive oil. They'll be done right around the same time as the burgers, all they need is a few minutes and you're good to go! You can also leave your brie room temperature if you'd prefer to avoid the melty glorious mess that baked brie is known for. I always go melty.
- To assemble, spread each bottom bun with cranberry sauce, thenslap a small pile of spinach on top.
- Next add your turkey burger, and spread it with fig preserves.
- Top with your melty brie top bun and feel free to toss in a toothpick to prevent toppling [blogger trick!]
- Dig in!
Notes
