Handheld Fun

Sometimes dinner is just meant to be fun and that's all it was today. Gliders, sliders, whatever you'd like to call them, I made handheld goodness made from ground turkey. No need to act like it's anything more than that. Let's get to it!

parts
1 pound of ground turkey
1 bag of King Hawaiian dinner rolls
2 teaspoons of garlic salt
1 small onion
1 1/2 tablespoons of breadcrumbs
1 tablespoon of unsalted butter
salt and pepper
sweet relish
lettuce
mozzarella cheese (optional)

how they came together
Dice onion and place in a small skillet with butter. Slowly grill onions until slightly brown. Remove from heat and set aside.

In a large bowl, place turkey meat, garlic salt, breadcrumbs, salt and pepper together and knead together. Lightly pat meat into three inch wide patties and cook for two to three minutes on each side. One thing to remember when cooking these or any burger...do NOT press down. No matter how much you want to hear that sizzle, just don't do it. The more you do the drier the meat will be.

Once the meat is done, you can begin the meat delivery system. Take your dinner rolls and tear them in half. On the bottom half place one spoonful of grilled onions and then place patty on top. On the top portion, place one spoonful of sweet relish and lettuce.

Bring it together and enjoy!
