These sweet and spicy turkey sliders are perfect when you aren’t in the mood for a full sized burger. The sweet mixed with the spicy is a perfect compliment. These were adapted from my mini meatloaf recipe.
My husband is obsessed with burgers. It’s actually one of his favorite food groups – he will eat anything and isn’t very picky, but if he had to choose, he would choose a burger any day.
When I made the mini meatloaves for the first time, I thought about how to make these into something better. And boom – these sweet and spicy turkey sliders were born.
The recipe might be similar to the mini meatloaves, but I love that they are sliders instead of meatloaves.
If you are interested in more turkey recipes, try the baked Parmesan turkey meatballs or the sun-dried tomato turkey burgers.

Thank you. Burgers are one of my favorite foods too – it’s my husband’s favorite. And sliders are such a great option because they are so much smaller than a typical burger, which I love.
So tasty!
