Serve  24 sliders    Prep: 30 min   Cook: 30 min

Ingredients:

  • 3 lbs ground turkey
  • 3 Tbsp Extra-Virgin Olive Oil
  • 1 Tbsp steak seasoning blend ( I used McCormick brand Montreal Seasoning )
  • 1 Tbsp garlic powder
  • 1 Tbsp onion powder
  • 1 Tbsp smoked paprika
  • Kosher salt and fresh ground black pepper
  • 5 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 2 green bell peppers, chopped
  • 1 (28oz.) can crushed tomatoes
  • 1 (14oz.) can tomato sauce
  • 1 cup ketchup
  • 3 Tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 2 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 2-3 Tbsp Tomato paste
  • 24 slider buns, split, toasted, and lightly buttered
  • 1/2 red onions, chopped
Directions:
  1. In a large skillet set over medium-high heat. Heat the oil, add the ground turkey, garlic powder, onion powder and paprika, steak seasoning powder, and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  2. Cook breaking up the turkey with a wooden spoon, until browned through about 5 minutes.
  3. Add the garlic, bell peppers and onions, and cook until the vegetables soften, about 5 minutes.
  4. Add the crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, ketchup, brown sugar, mustard, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, and 2 Tbsp tomato paste. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to medium low and cook, stirring occasionally, cook until the sauce thickens, 10 to 15 minutes. (Add 1 or more Tbsp of tomato paste to control the consistency). 
  5. Serve on the toasted buns top with chopped red onions.
