How to Make Turkey Burger Sliders

Ingredients:

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 pound 93% lean ground turkey
• ½ cup yellow onion (finely chopped)
• ¼ cup BBQ sauce
• 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
• 1 ½ teaspoons Kickin’ Cajun Seasoning Mix (or a store-bought Cajun or Creole seasoning blend)
• 12 dinner rolls (brioche style or sweet Hawaiian)
• ⅓ cup mayonnaise (regular or light)
• 1 tablespoon Sriracha sauce (or to taste)
• 2 cups shredded cheese (divided; I used pepper Jack)
• 2 teaspoons melted butter
• 1 teaspoon everything bagel seasoning

Directions:

1. In a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, warm the olive oil.
2. Add the ground turkey and chopped onion. Cook, breaking up the turkey into small pieces with a wooden spoon, until the turkey is no longer pink, about 5 minutes.
3. Pour off any excess grease from the skillet. Return it to the heat and add the BBQ sauce, Dijon mustard, and Cajun seasoning. Stir well to combine.
4. Reduce the heat to low and cook for another minute or two, stirring occasionally. Remove the pan from heat and set aside.
5. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
6. Use a serrated knife to separate the rolls. Place the bottom halves on the prepared baking sheet.
7. In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise and Sriracha. Spread the Sriracha mayo on the cut sides of the bottom layer of the rolls. Sprinkle half of the cheese evenly over it.
8. Layer the meat mixture on top of the cheese, then add the remaining cheese on top.
9. Cover with the top half of the rolls.
10. Brush the tops with melted butter and sprinkle with everything bagel seasoning.
11. Bake until the cheese melts and the tops are golden and toasted, about 10 minutes.
12. Remove from the oven and let the sliders rest for a couple of minutes. Pull them apart or slice and serve warm.
