Turkey Meatball Sliders

This week I made some Turkey Meatball Sliders!

 This is the second time I have made this recipe and of course, I love it! 

It is really good, yummy, and easy. 

 I like this recipe because it is really simple and it doesn't make a big mess! 

haha I hate having to clean up after dinner. 

Ingredients:

• 1 lb ground turkey
• 1/4 cup Panko
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp oregano
• 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
• 1 large egg
• 2 TSBP chopped fresh parsley leaves
• 1 cup marinara sauce, store-bought or homemade
• 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella
• 8-10 honey wheat slider buns, toasted, for serving
• Basil leaves, for serving

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat; set aside.

In a large bowl, combine ground turkey, Panko, Parmesan, garlic powder, oregano, red pepper flakes, egg and parsley. Using a wooden spoon or clean hands, stir until well combined. Roll the mixture into 2-inch meatballs, forming about 8-10 meatballs.

Place meatballs onto prepared baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes, or until all sides are browned and meatballs are cooked through.

Preheat oven to broil.

To assemble the slider, place 1 meatball and a spoonful of marinara on the bottom of each bun. Top with mozzarella and place into oven and bake until cheese has melted, about 1-2 minutes.

Serve immediately, topped with 1-2 basil leaves and covered with the slider tops.

Tip: Cover the meatball with marinara sauce on top. This will add better flavoring and will taste better.  I also used the Sweet Hawaiian rolls which adds some sweetness.  

Yields: 3-4 Servings
