Apple Bacon Feta Turkey Sliders

Apple Bacon Feta Turkey Sliders

Today I was driving home from work trying to decide what the heck to make for dinner. We haven't gone grocery shopping in a while, aka have not had the time to, and I really did not want to eat a frozen veggie burger, no offense I love them, but I just was not in the mood.

So I called Albert, that's my boyfriend, and asked him what he wanted for dinner. It was the usual conversation of "I don't know what do you want?" "I don't know..what do you feel like?" "No, but what are you in the mood for?" After this going on for several minutes I told him to look in the cookbook. This is not just any regular cookbook people.....this is the BEST cookbook. He came across this recipe and I agreed instantly...dinner was picked! The following recipe came from Dashing Dish by Katie Farrell...I modified it a little :-)

The Supplies: (Estimated Time: 45 minutes)
1 pound extra-lean ground turkey (or lean ground beef)
2 slices of turkey bacon (or however much bacon you want!)
1/2 cup finely diced apple
1/4 cup finely diced sweet onion
1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
9 whole grain wheat buns, sandwich thins, or lettuce wraps for serving

In a large bowl mix the turkey, bacon, apples, onions, feta, syrup (or BBQ sauce), salt pepper, and garlic powder together until combined. I use my hands to mix it all together. (I know it feels gross, but just get through it and you will do fine!).

So in my version I made regular size hamburgers. I used about 1/5 of the mixture for each patty. In the original recipe to make sliders it calls to use 1/4 cup of mixture to make 9 sliders...the option is up to you!
In a skillet, drizzle some olive oil and set burner to around medium. (Do not go over medium or you may burn the outside, before the inside is cooked.) Cook for about 8 minutes, depending on your stove top, filp half way through, and then remove to cool on a plate. Let rest for a few minutes before diving in. Top with some freshly cut apple, feta cheese, or your favorite burger toppings. Whip up a side of sweet potatoe fries and you are all set!

I have to say that these is the MOST DELICIOUS burger I have had in a while. I hope you try it and find a new favorite.
