Instructions

Knead the ground turkey with the grated onion, oregano, mint, garlic, salt, pepper, and breadcrumbs until well blended. Divide the meat mixture into 12 equal portions. Smack each portion back and forth between two clean hands to form a large, cohesive meatball. Press the meatball between hands to form little burger patties. Refrigerate the turkey patties while preparing the sauce and toppings.

Prepare the sauce by pulsing 1/4 cup of the crumbled Feta cheese with the Greek yogurt, garlic, salt, and lemon zest in a blender or food processor until smooth. Stir the remaining 1/4 cup of Feta into the sauce. Transfer the sauce to a small serving bowl. Cover the sauce with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve. (Sauce may be made several hours to 1 day ahead of time.) Arrange the spinach and sliced roasted red peppers on a serving plate—chill until ready to serve.

Heat the grill to medium-high heat—about 350 to 400º F. Once the grill is hot, quickly brush the grill grates with the olive oil using a fire safe basting brush. Grill the turkey sliders on the oiled grates for a total of 4 to 6 minutes, flipping over halfway to cook both sides evenly.

Immediately serve Greek Turkey Sliders on toasted buns topped with spinach, roasted red pepper slices, and a tablespoon of Feta Garlic Sauce (to taste).
