Ingredients

1 cup almond flour
¼ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon baking aids xanthan gum by bob's red mill
2 tablespoon butter
4 large raw egg
1 pound ground turkey
2 tablespoon mayo
1 teaspoon salt
¾ teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ tablespoon olive oil
3 ounce cheddar cheese

Instructions

Begin by making the slider buns. Preheat an oven to 350 degrees and spray 6 muffin tins with pan spray. Combine the almond flour, salt, and xanthan gum in a stand mixer with a paddle attachment.
Next, chop and mix in the butter. Only mix until the butter is crumbly and spread throughout the flour as pictured.
Crack in the eggs and mix until your bun batter is smooth with small lumps of butter.
Fill 6 muffin tins half way high with the batter. This should use all the batter.
Bake the slider buns for 25 minutes or until the tops are golden and a toothpick comes out clean. Set these buns aside to cool for later use.
While the buns are baking, it’s time to make the turkey burgers. Combine the ground turkey with the mayo, salt, pepper, garlic, and onion powder.
Divide the turkey mixture into 6 equal parts. Slice your cheddar cheese into thin slices so they’re ready to melt onto the cooking turkey burgers.
Heat half the olive oil in a large skillet. Place 3 of the turkey burgers in the skillet, and use a spatula to press the patties down into thin discs.
Cook the turkey burgers for 2-3 minutes per side. When you flip the burgers, place about a ½-ounce of cheddar cheese on top. You can use a skillet lid to help the cheese melt if needed.
Once the burgers are cooked through, you can transfer them to a plate to cool slightly. Use the remaining olive oil in the skillet and cook your last 3 burgers. Once all the burgers are cooked and cooled slightly, cut them each in half. Place one half of a turkey burger on top of its matching half, using the cheese as a glue.
Slice each slider bun in half. Then, build your turkey burgers sliders. The photographed sliders in this recipe has sliced pickles added to the burgers, but you can choose your favorite slider toppings for your meal. Secure the sliders with a toothpick.
