These little turkey sliders from Lisa Allen are a fantastically versatile recipe, equally suitable for both a Summer barbecue or a Christmas party. Turkey mince is a great alternative to beef or pork in burgers, as it works well with so many other flavours - pair with ketchup for a snack in the sun, or a dollop of cranberry sauce for a festive gathering.
Ingredients
Turkey sliders
- 420g of turkey mince
- 2 tomatoes
- 2 little gem lettuces
- 30g of unsalted butter , soft
- 4 tbsp of tomato ketchup
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 pinches of black pepper
Wholemeal buns

- 2 tsp dried yeast
- 200g of strong bread flour
- 200g of wholemeal flour
- 10g of unsalted butter
- 1 tsp salt
Method
1
For the buns, add the warm water and dried yeast to a bowl and mix well. Set aside until a frothy head has formed, approximately 10 minutes
- 250ml of warm water
- 2 tsp dried yeast
2
In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, wholemeal flour, butter and salt
- 200g of wholemeal flour
- 200g of strong bread flour
- 10g of unsalted butter
- 2 tsp salt
3
Add the yeast and water mix to the bowl containing the flour, mix well until combined and a smooth dough forms
4
Remove the dough and place onto a clean, lightly floured work surface. Knead the dough for 5 minutes until elastic and springy
5
Divide the dough into 12 pieces, roll each piece of dough into a round ball and place on a greased baking tray
6
Cover the rolls with a tea towel and leave somewhere warm until they double in size – this should take approximately 30-40 minutes
7
Preheat the oven to 220°C/gas mark 7
8
Once doubled in size, bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and they produce a hollow sound once tapped on the base. Remove from the oven and leave to cool
9
For the turkey sliders, mix the turkey mince, salt and pepper in a bowl
- 420g of turkey mince
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 pinches of black pepper
10
Divide the mix into 12 evenly-sized balls, pat each ball down to make patties
11
Place the patties onto a greased tray and cook under a hot grill for 8-10 minutes until cooked, turning over halfway through
12
Cut each tomato into 6 slices and tear 12 leaves from the gem lettuce
13
Before serving, cut the buns in half and butter each half. Place a burger onto each bottom of the bun and top with ketchup, followed by 2 slices of tomato and 2 leaves of gem lettuce
- 30g of unsalted butter , soft
- 4 tbsp of tomato ketchup
14
