Description

These turkey meatball sliders are topped with barbecue sauce, crispy onions, and peppery Colby Jack cheese.

• 1 pound ground turkey

• 1/2 cup rolled oats

• 1/4 cup hickory brown sugar barbecue sauce (such as Sweet Baby Ray's®)

• 2 teaspoons hickory smoke seasoning (such as Savory Spice® Red Rocks)

• 1 teaspoon granulated onion

• 1/4 cup water

• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

• 1 teaspoon tamari sauce

• 6 brioche buns, halved

• 3 slices three-pepper Colby-Jack cheese (such as Boar's Head), quartered, or to taste

• 1/3 cup crispy fried onions, or to taste

• 2 tablespoons hickory brown sugar barbecue sauce (such as Sweet Baby Ray's®), or to taste

1 Combine turkey, oats, barbecue sauce, hickory seasoning, and granulated onion in a small bowl. Mix well and form into 1 1/2-ounce meatballs.

2 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

3 Pour water, Worcestershire, and tamari sauce into a 9x9-inch casserole dish. Place meatballs in the dish.

4 Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the centers, about 45 minutes. Toast brioche buns until golden, if desired.

5 Serve meatballs on top of buns. Place a slice of cheese over each; top with crispy onions and barbecue sauce.
