- Form the mixture into 8 small patties, about 1/2 inch thick.
- Heat a skillet or frying pan over medium heat and lightly grease it if necessary.
- Cook the turkey patties for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- If using cheese, place a slice on each patty during the last minute of cooking to allow it to melt.
- Remove the patties from the skillet and let them rest for a minute.
- Meanwhile, toast the slider buns in the oven or on a separate pan until lightly golden.
- Assemble each slider by placing a turkey patty on the bottom half of the bun, adding lettuce, and topping it with the other half of the bun.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
These sliders can be made ahead of time. Prepare the patties and refrigerate them until you are ready to cook. Serve them with extra cranberry sauce on the side for dipping, if desired. You can also experiment with toppings like sliced avocado or different sauces for added flavor.
