Why You'll Love Making This
These sliders are packed with juicy turkey and tangy barbecue sauce, making them a tasty and healthier alternative to traditional beef sliders. They are quick to prepare and perfect for casual gatherings or weeknight dinners.
Step 1
In a small bowl, mix together the turkey, oats, barbecue sauce, hickory seasoning, and granulated onion until everything is well combined. Shape the mixture into small meatballs, about 1 1/2 ounces each.
Step 2
Preheat your oven to 350°F. Pour the water, Worcestershire sauce, and tamari into a 9x9-inch baking dish, then nestle the meatballs in the liquid. Bake for about 45 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through and no longer pink in the center.
Step 3
While the meatballs are baking, you can toast the brioche buns until they’re golden and slightly crispy, if you like. Once the meatballs are done, pile them onto the buns, add a slice of cheese on top, then sprinkle with crispy onions and drizzle some extra barbecue sauce over everything before serving.
