Like Turkey, feeling Italian? You'll love this

Italian Turkey Sliders
Makes 24 mini-burgers.



1 20-ounce package sweet Italian turkey sausage links
1 20-ounce package 93/7 ground turkey
24 slider rolls/mini-hamburger rolls
24 small slices part-skim mozzarella cheese (optional)
1/2 cup your favorite tomato sauce (optional)

1) Preheat your grill.

2) Using a knife, make a long slit along each link of the turkey sausage. Remove sausage from casings. Discard casings.

3) Combine turkey sausage in a large bowl with ground turkey. Using your hands, mix/squish until meats are thoroughly combined.

4) Make your slider patties. They should each be approximately 2 to 3 inches across and 3/4-inch thick, with a light thumb indentation in the middle. Store on wax paper until ready to cook. (Note: If you’re refrigerating the patties for later, bring them down to near-room temperature before you slap them on a grill.)

5) Place patties over direct heat and grill 4-6 minutes on each side, until outside is a bit browned and inside is cooked through. When finished, let sit for a few minutes.

6) Place patties on buns. Add mozzarella if you like (you can also do this on the grill), along with a few dabs of your favorite spaghetti sauce. Enjoy.
