Categories     appetizer

Time 25m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 23

2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon olive oil
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 celery ribs, thinly sliced
1 granny smith apple, cored but not peeled, cut into 2-inch matchsticks
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 large shallot, diced
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 cup Cranberry Sauce, recipe follows
1/4 cup ketchup
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 cups shredded turkey
12 sweet dinner rolls
One 1-pound bag fresh or frozen cranberries
1/2 cup maple syrup
1 cinnamon stick
1 orange, zested and juiced

Steps:

  • For the sauce: Whisk together the vinegar, mustard, oil, celery, apples, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Set aside while you make the sliders.
  • For the sliders: Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the shallots and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in the cranberry sauce, ketchup, vinegar, Dijon, Worcestershire, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer until the sauce has thickened, about 5 minutes. Turn off the heat and carefully pour the sauce into a food processor or blender and process until smooth.
  • Place the turkey into a large bowl and pour the sauce over the turkey, stirring to coat evenly with the sauce. To serve, spoon a 1/4 cup of the turkey onto the bottom half of the rolls, garnish with 2 tablespoons of the slaw and top with the top half of the roll.
  • Combine the cranberries, maple syrup cinnamon, orange zest and orange juice in a medium saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon. Turn the burner off. Using the back of your spoon, lightly mash the cranberries to desired consistency. Chill until ready to serve.

TANGY BBQ MEATBALL SLIDERS

Sure, you can buy frozen meatballs and bottled BBQ sauce, but homemade is well worth the effort. These sliders are great Game Day snacks or bite-sized party appetizers. We like our sliders with coleslaw, but a little cheese wouldn't hurt either.

Time 1h5m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 22

cooking spray
1 tablespoon olive oil
½ cup finely chopped onion
1 clove garlic, minced
2 cups ketchup
⅔ cup molasses (such as Grandma's®)
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 ½ tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 ½ tablespoons dry mustard powder (such as Colman's®)
1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce (such as Tabasco®), or to taste
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste
½ pound ground beef
½ pound ground pork
¾ cup fresh bread crumbs
¼ cup milk
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1 tablespoon stone-ground mustard
1 teaspoon grill seasoning (such as Montreal Steak Seasoning®)
1 clove garlic, minced
12 slider-size burger buns

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place a baking rack sprayed with nonstick cooking spray onto a foil-lined baking pan.
  • Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and saute for about 3 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add ketchup, molasses, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, mustard powder, hot sauce, and cayenne pepper; mix well. Bring to a boil, stirring frequently, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 30 minutes. Add a bit of water if sauce gets too thick.
  • Meanwhile, combine beef, pork, bread crumbs, milk, egg, mustard, steak seasoning, and garlic in a bowl. Use a 2-tablespoon cookie scoop to form meat mixture into balls, about 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Place meatballs on the rack, leaving enough space between them so they'll brown on all sides.
  • Bake meatballs in the preheated oven until internal temperature reaches 160 degrees F (71 degrees C), 25 to 30 minutes.
  • Gently stir meatballs into the BBQ sauce. Simmer until meatballs are heated through, 10 to 15 minutes. Divide saucy meatballs among the slider buns.

CHIPOTLE BARBECUE PULLED TURKEY DRUMSTICK SLIDERS WITH BRUSSELS SPROUT SLAW



Chipotle Barbecue Pulled Turkey Drumstick Sliders with Brussels Sprout Slaw image

Turkey drumsticks do not take kindly to the dry heat of an oven, which causes the meat to tighten up around the bone and tendons. But treat those same drumsticks to a long, slow, moist braise in barbecue sauce, and the meat falls off the bones, revealing tough tendons so numerous, you won't believe it.

Yield Makes about 3 cups, enough for 16 sliders

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 1/2 to 3 pounds turkey drumsticks
1 medium onion, chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 cup ketchup
1/3 cup cider vinegar
1 to 3 tablespoons finely chopped chipotle chiles in adobo, including some sauce (see Cooks' Notes)
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon molasses
1/2 cup water
Freshly ground black pepper
16 slider rolls (or other small, soft buns), split
Brussels Sprout Slaw
Special Equipment
A 3 1/2- to 5-quart wide Dutch oven or other wide heavy pot with tight-fitting lid

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325°F.
  • Remove turkey skin.
  • Cook onion in oil with 1/2 teaspoon salt in Dutch oven over medium heat, covered, stirring occasionally, until well softened, about 10 minutes.
  • Add garlic and spices and cook, stirring, 1 minute.
  • Stir in ketchup, vinegar, chiles, Worcestershire sauce, molasses, and 1/2 cup water and simmer mixture, stirring, 1 minute.
  • Add drumsticks and cover pot, then braise in oven, turning drumsticks over once, until meat is very tender, about 2 hours.
  • Transfer drumsticks to a bowl and cool. Discard bones, tendons, and any remaining skin, and pull meat with forks or fingers into coarse shreds.
  • Stir meat into sauce remaining in pot. Thin, if necessary, with water to desired consistency and season with salt and pepper. Reheat over medium heat until hot.
  • Spoon mixture into slider rolls and top with slaw.

Tips:

  • Choose the right turkey: A whole turkey is best, but you can also use a turkey breast or thighs. Just be sure to remove the skin before cooking.
  • Season the turkey well: Use a flavorful rub or marinade to give the turkey plenty of flavor. Be sure to season the inside of the turkey as well as the outside.
  • Cook the turkey slowly: Low and slow is the best way to cook turkey. This will help to keep the meat moist and juicy.
  • Use a meat thermometer: The best way to ensure that the turkey is cooked properly is to use a meat thermometer. Insert the thermometer into the thickest part of the turkey (usually the breast) and cook until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the turkey rest: Once the turkey is cooked, let it rest for 10-15 minutes before carving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more flavorful and tender bird.
  • Shred the turkey: Once the turkey has rested, shred it with two forks. This will make it easier to assemble the sliders.
  • Use a variety of toppings: The best turkey sliders are loaded with a variety of toppings. Some popular choices include BBQ sauce, coleslaw, cheese, bacon, and avocado.

Conclusion:

Turkey sliders are a delicious and easy-to-make party food. They're perfect for game day, potlucks, or any other casual gathering. With a little planning, you can have a batch of sliders ready in no time. So next time you're looking for a crowd-pleasing appetizer, give turkey sliders a try.
