Ingredients

2 lbs ground Canadian Turkey
1 cup diced onions
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
2 tbsp Oyster sauce
1 tbsp Tamari (or light soy sauce)
2 tbsp water
Salt and pepper to taste

To serve:

Avocado Mayonnaise (combine 1 avocado, finely mashed, with ½ cup mayonnaise)

Toppings of choice:

Hot banana peppers and jalapenos
Roasted red peppers
Avocados
Lettuce
Tomatoes
Pickled onions
Corn relish
Alfalfa sprouts
Coleslaw

Tip: You can freeze these burgers right on the plate or tray and then transfer them to a Ziploc bag for easy storage. Thaw out for 30 minutes before BBQ’ing according to instructions above.

Directions

Sauté onions over medium heat until translucent and lightly browned, 4-6 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool
Season your meat with salt and pepper to taste.
Add garlic, Panko, Tamari, Worcestershire sauce, Oyster sauce and water.
Add onions, once cooled
Take a generous handful of the mixture, about a half cup and roll gently between your palms to create a rough ball. Flatten to your desired thickness, about one inch and a half, and place on a sheet of wax paper over a large plate or tray. Repeat until you have used up all the meat. You should have 8 - 12 patties, depending on your size preference.
Place your tray of patties in the freezer for 60 minutes to firm up. This will help your sliders keep their shape on the BBQ.
Remove from the freezer and BBQ immediately.
BBQ over medium-high heat until patties are cooked through and meat is no longer pink, 4-6 minutes per side.
To ensure meat is cooked through, test with a meat thermometer. Meat should register 165ºF (75ºC). Time will vary depending on size of patties, and type of BBQ.
