📝 Editor's Note

For a fun twist, try using whole grain slider buns or lettuce wraps for a gluten-free option. You can also mix in different veggies based on your child's preferences.

🥕 Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 1 cup finely grated zucchini
  • 1 cup finely grated carrots
  • 1/2 cup whole wheat breadcrumbs
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

👨‍🍳 Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine ground turkey, grated zucchini, grated carrots, breadcrumbs, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
  3. Mix until well combined.
  4. Form the mixture into small slider patties.
  5. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, then cook the patties for about 5 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  6. Transfer the sliders to a baking sheet and bake for an additional 10 minutes to ensure they're cooked through.

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently before serving. Adjust the texture by making smaller patties for younger toddlers.
