Recipe type: Main Dish
Cuisine: American
Ingredients
  • 6 Ounces Cremini Mushrooms, Roughly chopped
  • ½ Brown Onion, Roughly Chopped
  • 3 Garlic Cloves
  • 2 Tablespoons Butter
  • 2 Lbs. Ground Turkey
  • 1 Cup Breadcrumbs
  • 1 Egg, Beaten
  • 1 Cup Canned Black Beans
  • 1 Bunch Italian Parsley, Finely Minced
  • 1 Medium Sized Serrano Chile, Finely Minced
  • 2 Teaspoons Kosher Salt
  • 1 Teaspoon Coarse Ground Pepper
  • 1 Teaspoon Smoked Spanish Paprika
  • 1 Teaspoon Ground Cumin
Instructions
  1. Add the mushrooms, onion and garlic to a food processor.
  2. Pulse to process until the vegetables are finely ground but with some texture remaining.
  3. In a medium sized skillet melt 2 tablespoons of butter.
  4. Add processed vegetables to the skillet and cook over medium heat for about 10 minutes.
  5. Vegetables should be tender and most of the moisture should have evaporated.
  6. Remove the pan from the heat and allow the mixture to cool to room temperature.
  7. Place all of the remaining ingredients in a medium sized bowl.
  8. Add the cooled, sauteed vegetables to the bowl as well.
  9. Using your hands, thoroughly incorporate all of the ingredients.
  10. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  11. Using a scoop, prepare balls of the meat mixture which will later be flattened into sliders before cooking.
  12. Cover and refrigerate the meatballs until you are ready to grill them.
  13. Before grilling the sliders flatten them slightly into small disks and spray them generously on both sides with olive oil cooking spray.
  14. Because of the vegetables in these sliders they have a tendency to stick to the grill.
  15. Be sure to preheat your grill.
  16. Grill sliders over medium heat until cooked through, about 5 minutes per side until the insides are no longer pink.
  17. You may also elect to cook them on a grill pan, in a skillet on the stove, or even in the oven.
Notes
Serve sliders with slices of grilled fresh pineapple, lettuce leaves, sliced avocado, pepper jack cheese slices and a spicy mayonnaise.
