Turkey Burger Sliders

I got this recipe from Food Network (Guy Fieri) and changed it up just a bit. These were soooo yummy! I will definitely be making them again!

1 pound ground turkey
1 cups Panko bread crumbs
1/3 cup milk
1 egg
1 tablespoon sage
1 tablespoon fresh thyme
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper, freshly cracked
1 cup mushrooms, sliced (optional)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 cup butter, unsalted
3 tablespoons canola oil
1 red onion, sliced
Slider buns
Swiss Cheese

Directions

In a large bowl, add the panko, milk, egg, sage, thyme and salt and pepper. Combine and let sit for a few minutes. Add in the turkey and combine well. Form into small patties. Place on a parchment paper lined sheet pan and refrigerate for 20-30 minutes.

While burgers are resting, in a large saute pan, heat 1/4 cup of the butter and 1 Tablespoon canola oil. Add onions and saute 15 to 20 minutes or until nicely caramelized. Set aside, but keep warm.

In the same pan as the onions sauteed, add 3 tablespoons canola oil and the mushrooms and saute 6-8 minutes over medium high heat until softened. Set aside, but keep warm.

Heat a griddle or cast iron skillet to medium high heat, add 1 Tablespoon canola oil and spread evenly. Add in the turkey burgers and cook for 4 to 5 minutes per side. Remove from heat, cover and keep warm.

Butter the buns and grill lightly. Place burger, onions and mushrooms, on grilled bun. Enjoy!!! Trust me, you won't be disappointed!

As always, time to eat 'n run!
