Instructions
 

Prepare the Turkey Patties:

    - In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey with the finely diced onion, grated zucchini, breadcrumbs, egg, Dijon mustard, honey, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir gently until the ingredients are thoroughly mixed but avoid overmixing, which can lead to tough patties.

      Form the Sliders:

        - Divide the turkey mixture into 12 equal portions. Shape each portion into a patty. To ensure even cooking, create a slight indentation in the center of each patty with your thumb.

          Cook the Patties:

            - Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium heat, then add a drizzle of olive oil. Once the oil is shimmering, carefully place the patties in the skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

              Prepare the Honey Mustard Sauce:

                - In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, honey, and apple cider vinegar. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Set the sauce aside for the flavors to meld.

                  Toast the Buns:

                    - Lightly toast the slider buns in the same skillet or grill pan for about 1 minute, or until they turn golden brown and slightly crisp.

                      Assemble the Sliders:

                        - Begin assembly by spreading a generous layer of honey mustard sauce on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Place a turkey patty on top, followed by a slice of fresh tomato, a crisp lettuce leaf, and optional pickles or cucumber slices. Top off with the other half of the bun.

                          Serve:

                            - Arrange the assembled sliders on a serving platter. Serve immediately and enjoy these delicious, flavorful bites paired with your favorite sides!
