Ingredients
  

For the Sliders
  • 1 lb Lean Ground Turkey This is the star of your Turkey Cranberry Sliders, providing a deliciously savory base.
  • 1 cup Cranberry Sauce Adds a perfect balance of sweetness and tang; feel free to use homemade or your favorite store-bought version.
  • 8 pieces Slider Buns Soft and fluffy; opt for whole-grain or gluten-free buns if needed.
  • 8 leaves Fresh Sage Leaves Introduce a fragrant herb note; dried sage or thyme can be an easy swap if fresh isn't available.
  • 8 slices Sharp Cheddar Cheese Melts perfectly on top, adding creamy richness; consider alternatives like Swiss or pepper jack for a different kick.
Optional Add-Ons
  • 1 medium Sliced Avocado For a creamy dimension that pairs wonderfully with the turkey and cranberry.
  • 1 medium Jalapeños Add a spicy crunch for those who love a little heat!
  • 1 cup Fresh Arugula Incorporate this green for a peppery bite and added freshness to your sliders.

Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the lean ground turkey with finely chopped sage leaves, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine.
  3. Shape the mixture into 8 small patties, about 2 inches wide, and place them onto the lined baking sheet.
  4. Bake the patties for approximately 20 minutes until golden brown and cooked through with an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  5. Assemble the sliders by placing a patty on each bun bottom, topping it with cranberry sauce and a slice of cheese. Close with the top bun.
  6. Serve warm with fresh vegetables or chips and enjoy your Turkey Cranberry Sliders!
