Turkey Parmesan Sliders

Say hello to the perfect Super Bowl party recipe! (Go Broncos!) I just tried these for the first time about a week ago and I loved them so much that I will probably start making these a regular show recipe! This is probably one of the easiest recipes for a quick dinner when you are not in the mood to do much prep work. To make things even easier, just buy Parmesan and mozzarella that's already grated!

Ingredients

2 oz (60 g) fresh Parmesan cheese

3   green onions

2 eggs, lightly beaten

2 tbsp (30 mL) Garlic & Herb Rub, divided

1 tsp (5 mL) black pepper

2 tbsp (30 mL) milk

1/2 cup (125 mL) plain dry bread crumbs

1 1/4 lbs (575 g) 93% lean ground turkey

2 oz (60 g) mozzarella cheese

1/4 cup (50 mL) ketchup

1 pkg (12 oz) Hawaiian rolls (12 rolls), split (see cook's tip)

*If you don’t have the Garlic & Herb Rub you can substitute garlic powder, salt, pepper and any other spices you think would taste good.

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Grate Parmesan using Microplane® Adjustable Fine Grater. Thinly slice green onions using Chef’s Knife.  

*Onion powder works as a great substitute if your boyfriend forgets to bring home the onions ;)

Step 2

Combine Parmesan, onions, eggs, 5 tsp (25 mL) of the rub, pepper, milk, bread crumbs and turkey in large Bamboo Fiber Bowl; mix well. 

Step 3

Place one rounded Large Scoop of turkey mixture into wells of Brownie Pan; press evenly into wells. Bake 13-15 minutes or until tops are firm and internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) in the sides of each patty.  

Step 4

Meanwhile, grate mozzarella using Microplane® Adjustable Coarse Grater.  

Step 5

For sauce, combine ketchup and remaining 1 tsp (5 mL) rub in (2-cup/500-mL) Prep Bowl. Microwave, uncovered, on HIGH 20-30 seconds or until hot.
 

Step 6

Remove pan from oven. Transfer patties to roll bottoms using Mini Nylon Serving Spatula. Top with sauce, mozzarella and roll tops.
