Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 15 mins
Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: Mexican
Serves: 6 sliders
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground turkey
- 2 tbsp tequila
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1/2 tsp chili powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 6 slider buns
- 1 avocado, mashed
- 1 lime, juiced
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine ground turkey, tequila, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly using your hands to ensure even distribution of seasonings.
- Divide the seasoned turkey mixture into 6 equal portions and shape into small patties, making a slight indentation in the center of each to prevent bulging during cooking.
- Preheat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the cooking surface to prevent sticking.
- Cook the turkey patties for approximately 5-6 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) for food safety.
- While patties are cooking, prepare the guacamole by mashing the avocado in a small bowl. Add lime juice and chopped cilantro, mixing well and seasoning with a pinch of salt.
- Lightly toast the slider buns in a separate pan or under the broiler until golden brown and crisp.
- Once patties are cooked, let them rest for 2-3 minutes to retain moisture.
- Assemble sliders by placing a turkey patty on each bun and topping with a generous spoonful of fresh guacamole.
- Serve immediately while warm and enjoy your Tequila Turkey Sliders with Guacamole.
Tips
- * Make sure to handle the turkey mixture gently when shaping the patties to prevent compacting the meat, which can make them dense and dry. * Don't overcook the turkey patties - they should be cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for food safety, but overcooking can make them tough and dry. * Use high-quality ingredients, such as fresh avocados and limes, to get the best flavor out of your guacamole. * Consider toasting the slider buns on the grill or in a pan with a little butter for an extra crispy texture. * Let the turkey patties rest for a few minutes before assembling the sliders to ensure they stay juicy and flavorful.
