BBQ TURKEY SLIDERS

Steps:

• Add the turkey to a large bowl along with 1/4 cup water. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, and mix to combine. Mold the turkey into 16 even-size slider patties. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large griddle pan over medium heat. Add the patties and cook for 4 to 5 minutes per side. Be sure to not move them until they are ready to flip when brown on the first side.
• Heat remaining 2 tablespoons of oil in a large saute pan. Add the onions and caramelize over medium heat, adding water as needed, to deglaze the pan. Add the BBQ sauce to the onions when they are mostly caramelized and cook for another 3 to 4 minutes.
• Top each potato roll bottom with a turkey patty and spoon some of the BBQ caramelized onions over the top. Cover with the roll tops and enjoy!

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Put the breadcrumbs in a large bowl and drizzle the milk over the top; stir and let soak for 5 minutes. Add the ground turkey, parsley, ground ginger, garlic powder, cayenne, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Divide the mixture into 8 portions, roll into balls and pat into patties.
• Arrange the patties in a lightly oiled 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Bake for 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, gently warm the cranberry sauce with a few tablespoons of water to loosen.
• Spoon half of the warm sauce on top of the patties. Return the cranberry sauce to a simmer and remove from the heat. Return the patties to the oven and continue baking until browned, glazed and cooked through, about 20 minutes more.

TURKEY BURGER SLIDERS WITH VIDALIA ONION-TOMATO JAM

Steps:

• Make the Vidalia onion-tomato jam: Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium heat until the butter is melted. Add the onions, then season with a little salt and cook, stirring frequently, until they are golden brown and soft, about 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, cut the tomatoes in half crosswise. Scoop out the tomato seeds with a spoon and discard the seeds. Chop the tomatoes. Stir the tomatoes, garlic, brown sugar, vegetable stock and vinegar into the softened onions. Reduce the heat to low and cook until the onions are caramelized, the tomatoes are very soft and the mixture is syrupy, 20 to 25 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and stir in the thyme. Set aside.
• Make the turkey burger sliders: Gently combine the ground turkey, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder and egg in a medium bowl. Shape the mixture into twelve 2 1/2-inch patties.
• Heat a lightly greased griddle over medium-high heat. Sprinkle the patties lightly with salt and pepper. Add the patties and cook until they are done and a thermometer registers 165 degrees F, 2 to 3 minutes on each side.
• To assemble the sliders, place the patties on the bottoms of the Hawaiian rolls. Top with the goat cheese, some of the Vidalia onion-tomato jam, arugula and the roll tops. Pierce the cherry tomatoes with wooden toothpicks into the tops of the rolls.
