Photo: Turkey-Hummus Sliders Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 English cucumber, diced
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon dried mint
- 4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
- 1 1/2 pounds ground turkey
- 1 cup hummus, preferably spicy or roasted red pepper (about a 7-ounce container)
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 2 teaspoons ground coriander
- 16 mini pita pockets, preferably whole wheat, split open and warmed
- 2 to 3 plum tomatoes, sliced
Directions
Toss the cucumber, feta, vinegar, mint, 1 tablespoon olive oil and a pinch each of salt and pepper in a bowl; cover and refrigerate.
Mix the turkey, 1/2 cup hummus, the parsley and coriander in a bowl; season generously with pepper. Dampen your hands and shape the mixture into 16 small patties, about 1/2 inch thick.
Heat 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil in a medium cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add half of the patties and cook until browned and cooked through, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate. Cook the remaining patties in the remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil.
Mix the remaining 1/2 cup hummus with a splash of hot water in a bowl. Spread some of the hummus on the inside of each pita; fill with a tomato slice, turkey patty and some of the cucumber mixture.

Delicious for the Greek lovers! I made this for dinner one night and for my fiancé that is not a big feta fan, licked every crumb. I will keep this for years to come for a fast and easy dinner!

I don't like turkey so I used chicken. The chicken mix was very moist so I dropped spoonfuls on to the pan and flattened them with a spatula. They came out delicious!
The meat is tasty , the feta and cucumber mix adds a delicious cool taste. Be sure to use the spicy hummus on the pita because it does add a "kick" to the flavor.
They were so good !!! Can't wait to make them again!

My only complaint is that the burgers fell apart. I'm gonna try again & even if they fall apart again, they are still yummy.
