• Tongs or spatula

Step-by-step instructions

Below are the rewritten, easy-to-follow directions for making Garlic Bread Turkey Sliders & Italian Green BeansWith KRAFT Fresh Takes. The steps follow the original sequence but are clarified so you can breeze through the recipe without second-guessing.

1. Prepare the green beans

1. If using fresh green beans: trim the ends and rinse under cool water. If using frozen green beans: thaw according to package directions. If using canned green beans: drain and rinse briefly to remove excess sodium.
2. Add the prepared green beans to a medium saucepan and cover with about 1 inch of water. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook until the beans are crisp-tender, about 4–6 minutes for fresh, slightly less for frozen. If using canned beans, heat for 2–3 minutes just to warm through.
3. Drain the green beans thoroughly and return them to the pan or place them in a serving bowl.
4. Toss the warm green beans with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1/4 tsp kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
5. Sprinkle the KRAFT Fresh Take Italian Parmesan Recipe over the beans. For six servings I used about one-third of the package; toss until the beans are evenly coated. Taste and add more seasoning if desired.
6. Set the seasoned green beans aside and cover to keep warm while you make the sliders.

2. Make the turkey slider patties

1. Place 1 lb lean ground turkey in a mixing bowl. Add 1 tsp kosher salt, 1/2 tsp ground black pepper, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, and 1/4 cup finely chopped onion.
2. Gently combine the ingredients with your hands or a spoon. Do not overwork the meat; mix just until the seasonings are distributed.
3. Divide the turkey mixture into 4–6 equal portions, depending on how many sliders you want. Shape each portion into a small, slightly flattened patty about the diameter of your buns, allowing for slight shrinkage during cooking.

3. Cook the turkey patties

1. Heat a large nonstick skillet or cast-iron pan over medium heat. Add a thin film of oil or use a nonstick surface—about 1 tsp of oil if needed.
2. Place the patties in the hot skillet, leaving space between them so they brown evenly. Cook without moving for 4–5 minutes, until the bottom is golden-brown and releases easily from the pan.
3. Flip each patty and cook for another 4–5 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the meat is cooked through. Adjust time slightly for thicker patties.
4. Transfer the cooked patties to a plate and tent loosely with foil to keep warm while you toast the buns.

4. Toast and garlic-butter the buns

1. Mix 2 tbsp melted unsalted butter with 1 clove minced garlic in a small bowl.
2. Brush the cut sides of 4–6 slider buns with the garlic-butter mixture.
3. Place the buns, cut side down, on a clean skillet or griddle over medium heat. Toast for 1–2 minutes until they’re golden and fragrant. Watch them closely so they don’t burn.
4. Remove buns and keep warm.

5. Assemble the Garlic Bread Turkey Sliders

1. Place each warm turkey patty on the bottom half of a toasted bun.
2. Add any optional toppings you like—sliced tomato, crisp lettuce, pickles, or a favorite sauce—on top of the patties.
3. Top with the bun lids and serve immediately alongside the Italian-seasoned green beans.

Serving suggestions

These sliders pair beautifully with a simple side salad or oven-roasted potatoes. For a tangy contrast, serve a small spoonful of a garlic-yogurt sauce or a light mayonnaise-based spread on the bun. For a crowd, double the recipe and set up a slider bar so everyone can customize toppings.

Make-ahead and storage

• You can prepare the turkey patties a few hours ahead and keep them covered in the refrigerator. Cook when you’re ready to eat to maintain juiciness.
• Leftover cooked patties keep well in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet over low heat or in the oven to avoid drying them out.
• Prepared green beans stored separately will stay fresh for 2–3 days; reheat in a skillet or microwave and toss with a little oil to refresh their texture.

Troubleshooting tips

• If your patties fall apart while flipping, they may be too lean or not compact enough. Press gently but firmly when shaping and handle them as little as possible when cooking.
• If the buns toast too quickly, lower the heat. Garlic-buttered buns can go from perfectly golden to burnt in seconds.
• Adjust the amount of KRAFT Fresh Take Italian Parmesan Recipe to match your taste. Start with less if you prefer subtler seasoning, then add more to taste.
