Method

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

  2. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and apply cooking spray to prevent sticking.

  3. In a bowl, combine turkey, 3/4 cup of bread crumbs, green onions, egg, soy sauce, brown sugar, ginger, and garlic. Mix all the ingredients thoroughly.

  4. Take the remaining bread crumbs and place them in a shallow bowl.

  5. Wet your hands and roll the turkey mixture into sixteen 1 1/2-inch balls. Coat each ball in the bread crumbs.

  6. Gently flatten each coated ball between your palms to create a patty shape. Place the patties on the prepared baking sheet.

  7. Bake the patties in the preheated oven for about 20 to 25 minutes, or until they are fully cooked and no longer pink in the center.

  8. In a separate bowl, mix mayonnaise and teriyaki sauce together. Add sugar to taste.

  9. Serve the turkey sliders on Hawaiian dinner rolls with a small amount of the mayo-teriyaki sauce.

  10. Optional: If desired, toast the Hawaiian dinner rolls before serving.

About this recipe

These little bites of goodness are packed with flavor and are perfect for any occasion. Whether you're hosting a party or just want a quick and easy meal, these sliders are sure to impress.

Why Choose Asian Turkey Sliders?

When it comes to sliders, beef is usually the go-to choice. But why not switch things up and try something different? Turkey is a leaner and healthier option that still delivers on taste. By adding Asian-inspired flavors, you can take your sliders to a whole new level.

Imagine biting into a juicy turkey patty infused with garlic, ginger, soy sauce, and sesame oil. The combination of these flavors will transport your taste buds to the streets of Asia. And the best part? These sliders are so simple to make!

The Secret to Juicy Sliders

When cooking with turkey, it's important to keep the meat moist and juicy. A common mistake is overcooking the patties, resulting in dry and flavorless sliders. To avoid this, make sure to cook the sliders just until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F. This will ensure that the turkey stays moist and delicious.

Another trick to keeping your sliders juicy is to add some grated zucchini or carrot to the turkey mixture. These vegetables add moisture and also sneak in some extra nutrients. Plus, the vibrant colors will make your sliders look even more appetizing!

Getting Creative with Toppings and Condiments

One of the great things about sliders is that you can customize them to your liking. From traditional toppings like lettuce, tomato, and cheese to more adventurous choices like pickled vegetables or spicy mayo, the possibilities are endless.

For an Asian twist, try topping your sliders with a tangy slaw made with cabbage, carrots, and a sesame dressing. The crunchiness of the slaw pairs perfectly with the tender turkey patties. And if you're feeling extra adventurous, add some sliced jalapeños for a spicy kick.

A Crowd-Pleasing Appetizer or Meal

Whether you're serving these sliders as an appetizer or a main course, they are sure to be a hit. Their small size makes them perfect for parties or gatherings, allowing your guests to enjoy a variety of flavors without feeling too stuffed.

If you're serving these sliders as a meal, consider serving them with a side of sweet potato fries or a fresh salad. The combination of the juicy sliders and crispy fries or refreshing salad is a match made in heaven.

In Conclusion

Asian Turkey Sliders are a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional beef sliders. With their bold flavors and juicy patties, they are guaranteed to satisfy your cravings. Whether you're hosting a party or simply want a quick and easy meal, these sliders are a crowd-pleaser. So why not give them a try and embark on a culinary journey to Asia?
