Weekend Sliders

It's the WEEKEND -- and who couldn't resist sliders?
Of course, if you don't want turkey or beef, try them instead using portobello mushrooms.
The flavouring makes the difference on these, of course ;)

And don't worry about the amount of prep time - it takes an hour for marinating onions. The rest of the prep is 15 minutes. EASY.

1 lb ground beef

1 lb ground turkey

2 finely grated garlic cloves

2 ½ tsp sea salt

ground black pepper

8 oz goat cheese

2 tbsp mayonnaise

1 large red onion, sliced into rounds

3 tbsp "Olive the Best" Champagne Dark Balsamic Vinegar

12 slider buns

1 sliced avocado

2 cups fresh spinach (washed)

In a small bowl marinade onions with Champagne Dark Balsamic Vinegar – let sit for at least
an hour. Onions will turn purple/red.

When the onions are almost ready, preheat grill or cast iron skillet med-high heat

In a bowl combine ground beef, ground turkey, garlic, kosher salt, and pepper. Form into
12 small patties. Set aside.

In a small bowl combine goat cheese and mayonnaise until smooth. Set aside

Grill the patties until golden and cooked through, about 3 minutes per side.

Toast the buns on grill for 15 seconds.

Spread the tops of the bun with the goat cheese mixture, add cooked patties, onions, avocado and spinach. (optional – sauté onions, add tomatoes)
