Mini Turkey Burgers

These moist, teeny-tiny bites are proof positive that bigger isn't always better. They're huge on taste -- with little effort. For juicy burgers, choose ground turkey that's labeled 7 percent fat or 93 percent lean.

  • 2 slices white sandwich bread (about 1 ounce each)
  • 1 pound (93 percent lean) ground turkey
  • 2 ounces cheddar cheese, coarsely grated (about ½ cup)
  • ½ small onion, coarsely grated
  • coarse salt and ground pepper
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 12 party-size potato rolls
  • lettuce, sliced tomatoes, ketchup, and mustard, for serving (optional)

In a food processor, pulse bread until fine crumbs form. Transfer to a medium bowl; add turkey, cheese, and onion. Season with salt and pepper, and mix gently just until combined. Form twelve 2-inch patties (about 3 tablespoons each).

In a large nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium. Cook patties until browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes per side. Serve on rolls with lettuce, tomatoes, ketchup, and mustard, if desired.
