Feta and Sun-Dried Tomato Turkey Sliders

I love it when I spy a new recipe and have all the ingredients to make it on hand! I think this is going to be the end of my Greek streak for a while because I about used up the last of my feta. Even though I've made a lot of Greek lately, I just couldn't resist these flavors; the feta and the sun-dried tomatoes with the fresh spinach, they just go so well together. I actually didn't know what a slider was until recently, but I've seen them popping up a lot in the blogging world lately. A slider is simply a mini burger.

I absolutely LOVE these burgers. My mouth had a little party when I took the first bite. It almost became my favorite burger for a split second, but then I remembered the basil chicken burgers I made last summer (amazing) and decided this would have to take a close second. I personally think grilling them on an outdoor grill is a must; you just can't beat the flavor the outdoor grill adds to meat. However, I'm sure they'd be great cooking them indoors as well. Go have yourself a party and make these little sliders.

For the burgers:
1 lb ground turkey
1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese
*1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes, rehydrated and chopped
1/2 Cup fresh baby spinach leaves, chopped
1-2 tsp. Greek seasoning
olive oil

mini hamburger buns, or dinner rolls
mayonnaise
fresh spinach leaves

Place sun-dried tomato slices in a small saucepan and cover with water. Boil for 5 minutes. Drain and chop.

*I used my own sun-dried tomatoes that I dehydrated, but you can also use the same amount of oil-packed tomatoes.

In a mixing bowl combine all ingredients for the burgers, except the olive oil. Mix until just combined. Form 1/4 Cup patties and place onto a plate or cookie sheet. Meat mix should make about 12 mini patties.

Prepare outdoor grill. Just before grilling the patties, brush a little oil on the rack to prevent sticking. Grill about 3-4 minutes per side. You can also cook the patties on an indoor grill or frying pan.

Serve burgers on rolls spread with mayonnaise and layered with fresh spinach leaves.
