Turkey Sliders with Cranberry Mayonnaise

I was doing an event a couple years back with some friends and had to come up with a meal that represented the United States. I didn't want to do hamburgers and hot dogs so instead, came up with these sliders. After all, is there anything more American than Thanksgiving Dinner?  I served them with sweet potato fries, cranberry margaritas and layered pumpkin pie shots. It was basically a condensed alcohol filled version of the tradition!

Because you are making sliders, you want to make sure to dice the vegetables up small. The mixture will be a bit sticky, but don't worry because they will come out fine and should be moist, unlike a lot of the turkey burgers I have come across in the past. I use name brand stuffing in this but use what you like. I just prefer Pepperidge Farm over the store brand or Stove Top. This recipe should generate 12-18 sliders.









1 lb ground turkey
1 1/2 cups Pepperidge Farm Herbed Seasoned stuffing
1/4 cup chopped parsley
1/2 of a sweet apple, small chop 
1/4 cup onion, small chop
1 tbs poultry seasoning
1 cup water
2 tbs butter
Olive oil as needed for pan
1/4 cup good mayo
1 can cranberry sauce, 14 oz
King Hawaiian dinner rolls 

In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise and cranberry sauce. Let chill in refrigerator til ready to use. 

In a measuring cup, heat water and butter til butter is melted, set aside, In a large bowl mix stuffing, parsley, apple,onion and poultry seasoning together. Add heated water and butter, mix and let sit about 10 minutes. Note: If dressing seems too watery, add more stuffing, a little at a time. Add ground turkey to stuffing mixture and form into equal size patties. Cook patties over medium high heat in a non stick pan until no longer pink, adding oil as needed to prevent from sticking. Slice dinner rolls to make buns, place one patty in each and top with prepared mayonnaise.
