McCain Smiles Turkey Burgers with garlic aioli

PREP TIME 30 mins

TOTAL TIME 25-35 mins

SERVES 14 sliders

Burger Ingredients

1 bag McCain Smiles

1.5 lbs ground turkey

1 teaspoon kosher salt

½ teaspoon black pepper

½ teaspoon garlic powder

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

2 tablespoons ketchup

½ teaspoon Trader Joe’s Green Goddess seasoning (optional)

8 slices sharp white cheddar or American cheese

Garlic Aioli

¾ cup mayonnaise

3 cloves garlic, minced

2 ½ tablespoons lemon juice

¾ teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon black pepper

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a 10x13 baking dish with parchment paper.

2. Make turkey mixture: In a large bowl, combine ground turkey, salt, pepper, garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, and seasoning (if using). Mix until evenly combined.

3. Shape and bake: Press turkey mixture into the prepared pan in an even rectangle. Bake 25–34 minutes, or until juices run clear and the meat reaches 160°F.

4. Cook Smiles: While turkey is baking, prepare McCain Smiles according to package directions.

5. Make aioli: In a small bowl, stir together mayonnaise, garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Refrigerate until ready to use.

6. Cut patties: Once turkey is fully cooked, remove from oven and carefully lift out the parchment. Drain excess juices. Let rest briefly, then cut into 2-inch rounds with a cookie cutter or into squares.

7. Assemble sliders:

• Arrange 14 McCain Smiles on a baking sheet as the bottom “buns.”

• Top each with a turkey patty, slice of cheese, pickle (optional), and a dollop of garlic aioli.

• Press down another McCain Smile as the top bun and enjoy!
