Good Thursday to you! The week is flying isn’t it? I didn’t plan on sharing this recipe, and certainly didn’t plan on photographing it, but after having these babies for lunch with my hubby, I knew I had to snap some pictures and share it with you!
A few years ago when I was enjoying cooking competitions, I competed in the Build A Better Burger Competition. Ever since that event, I have been in love with making fun burgers of all kinds. The burger I competed with in 2004 actually had feta and sun dried tomatoes in it, which is one of my favorite combinations now!
This turkey burger has minimal ingredients with massive flavor. My husband was all compliments while inhaling his sliders, and he has no problem telling me his honest opinion! I found these adorable mini hamburger buns at Trader Joes and seriously love them! I mean, they really are cute and are the exact shape of regular hamburger buns. Of course you can always use dinner rolls if you can’t seem to find this product 🙂
Hope you all enjoy my little sliders.
Here they are, mini hamburger buns. Maybe I’ve missed them in the past, but I don’t remember seeing these at Trader Joe’s before. Glad they have them.
I cooked these burgers right on the stove top in a large skillet. Was just too lazy to fire up the grill. By all means, grill them if you’d rather.
If you are a feta fan, beware…you could quite possibly eat many of these 🙂

Have a great weekend!! See you all soon 🙂
Thank you for sharing your delicious recipes! I made these sliders and they were a hit! I think I’ll try them on Hawaiian mini buns next time! 🙂
I made these burgers a few nights ago and they were DELICIOUS! The only bummer was that I couldn’t find mini hamburger buns anywhere! I am going to make them for my friend’s bridal shower in a few weeks because they were SO delicious and cute! THANKS!
I don’t even like hamburgers or turkey… but these look so yummy, I want to eat them all! I’m making these as one of my mini apps for my dinner party this week!
This is definitely on my to-make list this weekend! I’ll take pictures and share! LoL
Those sliders look awesome. I love feta cheese and sundried tomatoes. Yum. I have not seen those mini hamburger buns at my local TJs. I wonder if they’re only available in CA. Humph!!
Oh my goodness these look amaazing! Thanks!
These sliders look both delicious and cute! I’ve never seen ham buns that size – I’ll have to look for them at TJ. Love all the ingredients (had me at feta!).
These are just adorable!! Great photos 🙂
I made these tonight and they were just as delicious at they look! Thanks for posting the recipe. My family and I can’t wait to eat them again next week.
PS- my TJ’s had these buns, but I bought the last two packages. I think they sell quickly!
Oh yum- these are calling my name. Are they good without the buns and mayo too by chance? I don’t know if I can skip that though, sounds delish! Thanks for sharing your great recipes!
YES, really good even without the bun and mayo 🙂 Tried some that way myself!
Oh goodness, everything about these looks delicious! I don’t remember ever seeing these little buns at TJ’s either, but I definitely will look when I go back.
Jenny!
These look perfect for the kids! I would love to feature your recipe with full links and credit back to you on my site http://www.canigettherecipe.com if you are keen!
Please let me know!
Feta & sun dried tomtatoes? Mmm sounds yummy!
These sound absolutely delicious! I love the combo of flavors. Great pics with your new camera by the way!
I’ve never seen these little buns either but I’ll be looking. I’ve never had feta on a burger and now I feel like Ii’ve been missing out. I’ll have to try these little sliders!
These look delish. Will have to try. Trader Joes also has the premade sliders made up in their fresh meat area. We did these for one of our functions for the kids. Can’t wait to try this I love feta.
oooh those look so good!
Haha! How cute these little burgers look! Perfect for who is on a diet!
Those look so delicious, I am totally going to have to make these… when Hubby is in the mood for something new.
First, I love that Build a Better Burger contest. I always watch it on tv when I run across it. These sliders are too cute. I’m actually making sloppy joe sliders tonight. We have similar buns at my store but it’s the first time trying them. I am definitely going to make these burgers. The sun-dried tomato and feta combo are great.
Do you also get your sun dried tomatoes at TJ’s?
Hi Barbie,
I buy the big jar of oil packed Sun-Dried Tomatoes at Costco. I’m sure Trader Joe’s sells them too.
These look so cute and tasty! Have you stopped entering contests? I hope not because your recipes are always so inspiring!
Not really, just taking a break for a while 🙂
First off, those look wicked good. I love turkey burgers. But I haven’t seen those mini buns at TJs either, I’ll be keeping my eyes out for them though.
These look so yummy!! I can’t wait to try them!
Hey!! Not Fair! My trader joes doesn’t have those mini buns! Nonetheless, they look DELISH! Feta & I are best of friends 🙂
-Mini
This might be the most delicious looking recipe I have ever seen!!
Cant wait to make them!
Mmm, I have feta and ground turkey in my freezer I need to use up. This will be great. Thanks for sharing!
Good balancing! They sound so yummy I love feta and sun dried tomato
Seriously, this was one of the most difficult photo shoots yet! Those babies did not want to stay put!! AT least I got a few good shots 🙂
You didn’t cheat with toothpicks? I would have! 🙂
Those buns are adorable! And the flavors in these sounds delicious.

I don’t eat burgers, but I am in love with those mini buns:) Too cute!
I will be putting this dazzling inihgst to good use in no time.
These look wicked. I am making these… guaranteed!
Wow, these look so delicious! Turkey burgers are my favorite and I love those little buns you’ve found! Definitely need to look for them at TJs. Sun-dried tomatos and feta are such a great combination.
YUM! Those burgers sound amazing, the feta and sun-dried tomatoes sounds like a great combination!
I’ve never seen those slider buns at TJ’s. These burgers sound awesome!
I love to cook with turkey mince. This is one I should try with the feta cheese….mmmm…loos very delicious.
