This mini turkey burgers recipe can be easily adapted to your burger night’s featured meat, veggies, and toppings.

My pups barely allowed me to plate these yummy sliders before they were cleaning up the crumbs. I love making this slider recipe alongside turkey burgers for my family and freezing them for treats throughout the week. Make them a part of your next burger night this summer!
