ASIAN TURKEY SLIDERS

We make weeknights fun with easy grilled sliders. I like to serve them with tangy slaw on the side. Double the recipe and freeze for quick meals.

Takes: 25 min. • Makes: 4 servings

• 1 large egg, lightly beaten
• ⅓ cup panko bread crumbs
• ¼ cup teriyaki sauce
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tsp. minced fresh gingerroot
• 1 tsp. sesame oil
• ½ tsp. onion powder
• ⅛ tsp. white pepper
• 1 lb. lean ground turkey
• 8 Hawaiian sweet rolls, split and warmed
• Optional toppings: Sliced cucumber, shredded carrot and fresh cilantro leaves

1. Combine first 8 ingredients. Add turkey; mix lightly but thoroughly. Shape into eight ½-in.-thick patties.

2. Place the sliders on an oiled grill rack over medium heat; grill, covered, until a thermometer reads 165°, 3-4 minutes per side. Serve in rolls with toppings as desired.

Freeze option: Cover and freeze patties on a waxed paper-lined baking sheet until firm. Transfer to a large freezer container; return to freezer. To use, grill the frozen patties as directed, increasing time as necessary for a thermometer to read 165°.
