Peach Turkey Sliders with Basil Aioli Drizzle

A drizzle of this, a drizzle of that…

It’s all in the sauce, ok? When you’re switching to more whole foods versus more packaged foods, they can feel a bit bland, a little sad, kind of… dull. This is often because your tastebuds haven’t changed over. Our tastebuds literally change over and renew about every 14 days. Those 14 days can feel like an eternity before the newest littles buds find their way to the tip of your tongue. In the meantime? It’s all in the sauce, ok?

Basic basil

Since the summer is close to beginning its initial wind down, guess what? It’s primo time to start making a bunch of flavorful sauces, dips, dressings and beyond from fresh ingredients. Enter, basil. Enter, basil that’s super cheap at the farmer’s market. Enter, basil you don’t know what to do with. Enter, basil aioli drizzle.

Oh wait. You want something to drizzle that sauce ON? Damn, tastebuds. Lemme deliver. Because right along with that basil there’s also summer peaches, yeah, grab one of those.

Ok. Now we’re cooking.

Ingredients

Peach Turkey Sliders

• 1 pound ground turkey white or dark meat, your preference
• 1/2 a large or 1 while medium peach finely diced
• 1/4 medium onion finely diced
• 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Basil Aioli

• 1/2 cup mayonnaise either make your own or use Sir Kensington’s, Chosen Foods or Primal Kitchen
• 1 cup packed basil leaves
• zest of 1/2 lemon
• juice of 1/2 lemon
• 1 clove garlic peeled

For Serving

• Butter lettuce or buns of your choice
• Extra peach slices
• Avocado slices
• Sliced jalapeños
• Anything else you desire!

Instructions

1. Preheat a large pan over medium-high heat, and add either a little coconut oil or extra virgin olive oil to melt.
2. In a medium sized bowl, place all ingredients for the turkey sliders and use your hand to evenly mix everything together.
3. Form two-inch sized patties of the ground turkey and peach mixture, making about 12-15 burgers. You should be able to fit for to five sliders on the pan at one time.
4. Allow each round of sliders to cook in the pan for about 4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and the diced peaches have slightly caramelized.
5. While the sliders cook, make the basil aioli.
6. Combine all the basil aioli ingredients in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. This makes a looser aioli; if you’d like an aioli that stands up on the burger, increase the mayo to 3/4 cup.
7. Once all your slider patties have been cooked on both sides, serve the sliders on cups of butter lettuce, or on your favorites buns or bun-style options (baked rounds of sweet potatoes are also delicious!) and dressed up with the basil aioli and any other burger fixings you desire!
