Ingredients
 
 

For the Greek Yogurt Sauce:

  • 1/4 cup Plain Greek Yogurt
  • 1 1/2 tsp. Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 1 tbsp. finely chopped Fresh Basil
  • 1 tsp. Lemon Zest
  • 1 tsp. Fresh Lemon Juice
  • 1/2 tsp. Agave Syrup or honey
  • 1/4 tsp. Kosher Salt plus more to taste

For the Sliders:

  • 8 oz. Ground Turkey or Ground Chicken (I used 85/15 ground turkey)
  • 1/4 cup crumbled Feta Cheese (about 1 oz.)
  • 2 tbsp. finely chopped Fresh Basil
  • 1 tsp. Lemon Zest
  • 1/2 tsp. Garlic Powder
  • 1/2 tsp. Onion Powder
  • 1/2 tsp. Kosher Salt
  • 1/4 cup Italian Breadcrumbs
  • 1 tbsp. finely chopped Sun Dried Tomatoes
  • 1 tbsp. Mayonnaise
  • 1/2 tsp. Dijon Mustard
  • 4 Slider Buns

Instructions
 

  • Make the Sauce. Stir together all yogurt sauce ingredients in a small bowl. Taste and adjust seasoning. Set aside or refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Mix the Slider Ingredients. In a medium bowl, gently mix together the ground turkey, feta, basil, lemon zest, garlic powder, onion powder, kosher salt, breadcrumbs, sundried tomatoes, mayo, and Dijon until just combined.

  • Form Patties. Divide mixture into four equal portions and form into slider patties, just a little bit bigger than the slider buns (they’ll shrink slightly as they cook!). These are about 2 1/2″ – 3″ patties.

  • Cook the Slider Patties. Heat a nonstick pan over medium heat. Add a drizzle of oil, then cook patties for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until internal temperature reaches 165°F.

  • Toast the Buns. Toast the cut side of the slider buns in a dry skillet (or cut side up under a broiler on “low”) for 2-3 minutes until golden.
  • Assemble. Add cooked sliders to toasted buns and divide the yogurt sauce between them. Add optional greens like arugula or baby spinach if desired, and enjoy!
