Ingredients

• 1 pound lean ground turkey
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
• 8 pieces whole wheat slider buns
• 1 cup fresh spinach leaves
• 1 medium sliced tomatoes
• 0.5 medium red onion
• 1 medium avocado
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine ground turkey, onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, low-sodium soy sauce, and black pepper. Mix until well blended.

Step 2

Form the mixture into 8 small patties, ensuring they are of equal size for even cooking.

Step 3

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add olive oil.

Step 4

Cook the turkey patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side until they are browned and cooked through to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Step 5

While the patties are cooking, prepare the toppings. Slice the tomato and red onion, and set aside.

Step 6

In a small bowl, mash the avocado with lemon juice and a pinch of salt until smooth.

Step 7

Once the patties are cooked, assemble the sliders. Begin with a whole wheat slider bun, add a patty, then top with a spoonful of avocado mash, a layer of spinach leaves, a tomato slice, and a few red onion rings.

Step 8

Finish with the top half of the bun. Repeat for each slider.

Step 9

Serve immediately for the best taste and texture. Enjoy your heart-healthy burger sliders!
