    A couple dashes of hot pepper sauce and spicy mustard add some heat to the spicy remoulade sauce, but the real star of this mini sandwich recipe is the flavorful Cajun turkey sliders themselves.

    • 1 medium red sweet pepper, seeded and cut into thin strips

    • 1 medium yellow sweet pepper, seeded and cut into thin strips

    • 1 medium onion, cut into thin wedges

    • 1 ½ pound uncooked ground turkey

    • ¼ cup chopped green onions

    • 2 teaspoon Cajun seasoning

    • 1 teaspoon bottled hot pepper sauce

    • ½ teaspoon salt

    • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

    • 12 whole wheat cocktail buns, split and toasted

    • 2 tablespoon Old Bay® seasoning

    • 1 recipe Spicy Remoulade

    Spicy Remoulade

    • 1 cup mayonnaise

    • ¼ cup pickle relish

    • 2 tablespoon capers, drained

    • 1 tablespoon Creole or spicy brown mustard

    • 1 tablespoon snipped fresh parsley

    • 2 teaspoon bottled hot pepper sauce

    • 1 teaspoon lemon juice

    Directions

    1. In a very large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over medium-low heat. Add sweet peppers and onion; cook about 10 minutes or until very soft and tender. Remove from skillet; keep warm.

    2. In a large bowl, combine turkey, green onions, Cajun seasoning, bottled hot pepper sauce, salt, and black pepper; mix well. Form into 12 patties slightly larger than the buns. Sprinkle both sides of each patty generously with Old Bay® seasoning.

    3. In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil over medium heat. Add patties; cook about 8 minutes or until done (165 degrees F)*, turning once halfway through cooking time.

    4. Serve in buns with sweet pepper mixture and Spicy Remoulade. Makes 12 sliders.

    Spicy Remoulade

    1. In a medium bowl combine mayonnaise, pickle relish, capers, mustard, parsley, bottled hot pepper sauce, and lemon juice.

    Test Kitchen Tip:

    The internal color of a burger is not a reliable doneness indicator. A poultry patty cooked to 165 degrees F is safe, regardless of color. To measure the doneness of a patty, insert an instant-read thermometer through the side of the patty into the center of the patty.
