Ingredients
  

  • 1.0 lb ground turkey
  • 4.0 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
  • 2.0 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 1.0 tbsp fresh thyme leaves, finely chopped
  • 1.0 tsp garlic powder
  • 1.0 tsp onion powder
  • 0.5 tsp salt
  • 0.25 tsp black pepper
  • 10.0 pcs slider buns
  • 0.5 cup cranberry sauce
  • 10.0 slices cheddar cheese
  • 1.0 handful fresh arugula or spinach for topping

Instructions
 

  • Prepare Herb Butter: In a small bowl, mix the softened butter with parsley, thyme, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined. Set aside.
  • Form Turkey Patties: In a mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey with half of the prepared herb butter (save the other half for spreading on the buns). Form the mixture into 10 equal-sized patties.
  • Cook the Patties: Heat a large skillet or grill over medium heat. Cook the turkey patties for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through and reach an internal temperature of 165°F. Just before the patties are done, place a slice of cheddar cheese on top of each patty and cover the skillet to melt the cheese.
  • Toast the Buns: While the patties are cooking, slice the slider buns in half and toast them in a separate skillet or under the broiler until golden brown.
  • Assemble the Sliders: Spread the remaining herb butter on the bottom halves of the toasted slider buns. Place each turkey patty with melted cheese on top, followed by a generous spoonful of cranberry sauce. Finish by adding a handful of fresh arugula or spinach before placing the tops of the buns on.
  • Serve: Arrange the sliders on a serving platter and enjoy them warm. Optionally, serve with extra cranberry sauce on the side for dipping.
