Ground Turkey Sliders topped with a bacon avocado spread are great for dinner or as a party snack. They’re served on sweet Hawaiian rolls and one of our favorite easy recipes. This is also one of our all time favorite game day recipes – these juicy turkey sliders are always a hit!
This ground turkey sliders recipe is always a favorite! They’re great for dinner with some sweet potato fries or salad on the side. They are also the perfect appetizer for parties or game day snacks. The Hawaiian rolls are great mini burger buns; they’re the perfect size and the sweet rolls pair great with the delicious flavor of the turkey patties. And don’t get me started on the avocado spread – it’s like creamy guacamole mixed with crumbled bacon, lemon juice, onions, and hot sauce – so delicious. Your turkey burger patties need this spread!
How to Make Ground Turkey Sliders
- Heat onions in a large skillet until they are soft and aromatic. Take them out of the pan and set them aside.
- Place the avocados in a large bowl and mash them with a fork until smooth. Sprinkle in the crumbled bacon, lemon juice, garlic powder, and hot sauce. Stir well to combine.
- Season the ground turkey with garlic powder. Divide ground turkey mixture into eight patties (they should fit the rolls).
- Place the patties in the same pan that you cooked the onions in and cook through, turning once mid way through the cook time, per the recipe card. Be sure the internal temperature is 165°F using a meat thermometer.
- Top the ground turkey burger sliders with a slice of cheese. Once the cheese is melted, transfer the burgers to the slider buns and top with some avocado spread.

Variations and Substitutions
- Our favorite way to make the patties is with lean ground turkey, but you can use ground beef or ground chicken as a good substitute for this recipe.
- Feel free to change up some ingredients in the avocado spread – use cooked turkey bacon instead of pork bacon, or add in some fresh tomatoes for a different flavor.
- Swap the cheese for your favorite – try sliced cheddar cheese, gouda cheese, mozzarella cheese, or American cheese.
