INGREDIENTS

6 oz ground turkey

1 slice center-cut bacon

0.25 oz sharp cheddar cheese

1 medium jalapeño

0.5 whole whole grain slider bun

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

0.25 tsp garlic powder

0 tsp avocado oil

PREPARATION

• 1

  Finely dice the jalapeño, removing the seeds and membranes if you prefer a milder heat, and grate the sharp cheddar cheese.

• 2

  In a small mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey with sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until well incorporated.

• 3

  Divide the turkey mixture into two equal portions and form them into small slider-sized patties.

• 4

  Press a small well into the center of each patty, fill with the diced jalapeño and grated cheddar, then fold the meat over to seal the filling inside.

• 5

  Wrap one slice of center-cut bacon tightly around each patty, securing the ends with a toothpick if necessary.

• 6

  Heat the avocado oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium heat until shimmering.

• 7

  Place the sliders in the skillet and sear for 5-6 minutes per side, ensuring the bacon becomes crispy and the turkey reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.

• 8

  While the sliders rest for a minute, lightly toast the whole grain slider bun in the same pan to soak up the savory flavors.

• 9

  Place the bacon-wrapped patties onto the toasted bun and serve immediately.
