An easy, flavorful Greek-inspired turkey slider recipe featuring Kalamata olives and Avocado Tzatziki to take bland ground turkey to flavor-town! Use my AIP English Muffin as buns or use a lettuce wrap and serve along side crispy baked carrot fries.
First, make the avocado tzatziki. Prepare the cucumber by grating and adding to a towel-lined corander with approx. 1/2 tsp salt so the water can release and drain out for approx. 15 minutes. Ring out the excess liquid from cucumber using the towel or a fresh towel until it's dry. Add it in with the other tzatziki ingredients in a food processor or mix by hand and store in the fridge, covered in an airtight container until you're ready to use It.
Prep carrot fries by cutting carrots into matchstick size and roast on a parchment-lined baking sheet on 400f degrees after tossing with duck fat and sea salt. Cook for 25-30 minutes while doing the rest below.
Make AIP English Muffins (link below) and set aside if using, or ready your butter lettuce or sweet potato rounds to make it Whole30!
Season the ground turkey with all slider ingredients listed.
Shape the meat into 1/2 inch thick sliders (small enough to fit your buns/English muffins if using)
Heat a cast iron pan over medium-high and lightly grease with coconut oil. Cook the slides for approx. 5 minutes on each side (cook thoroughly for poultry).
Build your burger with the Avocado Tzatziki and your favorite toppings. Serve alongside your carrot fries.
