Turkey Burger Sliders

Juicy, mini turkey burgers on soft slider buns are sized just right for smaller appetites and easy to customize with each kid's favorite toppings. They're leaner than beef sliders but stay moist thanks to a simple trick of grated onion and a little cheese melted right on top.
