Healthy Stuffed Turkey Sliders

 

My hubby has been seeing many recipes and pictures of burgers/ sliders lately and begging me to make some. Knowing I still wanted them healthy, I chose to use my ground turkey recipe for Turkey Meatloaf Muffins and then stuffed them with cheese! It was a winning solution all around. The family liked them and I was happy they weren’t going to break my calorie/point budget for the day!

Healthy Stuffed Turkey Sliders

Ingredients

  • 2.5 lb. ground turkey, 93% lean
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 c. 1 % milk
  • 2 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/2  tsp. pepper
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp. garlic, minced
  • 1/2 c. whole wheat bread crumbs
  • 1/2 c. Parmesan cheese, grated
  • 1/2 c. mozzarella, shredded

Directions

  1.  Mix all ingredients together in a bowl and combine well.
  2. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  3. Using your hands form a ball somewhat smaller than the size of a tennis ball. Make 14-16 depending on size.
  4. Indent each ball with your thumb and place about 1-2 teaspoons of shredded cheese in each.
  5. Fold over the edges to cover the cheese so it won’t leak out.
  6. Flatten and lay the sliders on a wire  rack over a baking pan.
  7. Bake for 30 minutes or until a thermometer inserted in center reads 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
  8.  Enjoy on a whole grain bun or top with my Cucumber Feta Relish!

About Brenda

Hi! Welcome! My name is Brenda and I am a mom to 3 beautiful children, a puppy and a picky husband who I absolutely adore after almost 15 years! Over the course of the last 25 years of my life, (Yikes I'm feeling OLD!) and numerous diet failures, yo-yo-ING weight, crying and praying to God for a solution to maintain a healthy weight and stop the cravings, I have come to the decision that I simply cannot have certain sugars in my life! (To read my full story see, MY SUGAR-FREE JOURNEY.) YES, it is true, no white sugar and other products that contain it. BUT that has not stopped me from enjoying this life! My passion is cooking and I love entertaining friends and family, which makes it pretty cool that I can always try out new, healthy (insert sneaky laugh here) recipes on them!! SO finally after quite some years experimenting and creating recipes without white sugar and white flour, and receiving requests for these very recipes, this blog has come to be! If you are a woman who has recently lost weight and desires to maintain it, you will find encouragement and fabulous recipes here! If you a mom who is struggling to take that baby weight off, you will find help here! You may not even need to lose weight but you desire healthier recipes for yourself and family, you are at the right place! If you still desire to get to that goal weight (yep, that's me!) but still love to entertain (me again!) and don't know what to make, seek no further-- Sugar-Free Mom is the site for you my friend! Come on in and enjoy! Blessings, Brenda

  1. I love this idea! I have never thought to cook burgers like this in the oven with the fat dripping down and I love the cheese in the middle! I can eat it without the bun for low carb and use whole-wheat buns for my kids – I’ll be making this very soon! Thanks!

  3. I make this as meatballs (I don’t squish them down at all). My entire family loves these, even my 3 picky boys. Thanks for another great recipe.
