    Cache Valley Creamery sent me a cookbook they’d created from their Cache Valley® Signature Recipe Contest which included my recipe, Creamy Cashew Chicken Puffs (Vols-au-Vents), which won 3rd place. It also included the recipe for the delicious burger, Bruschetta Turkey Burgers with Zesty Avocado Spread, that won the Grand Prize.

    Also included in this post is a Recipe Round Up. I’ve joined a fun group of bloggers to put together a roundup of recipes on the first day of every month. This month we’re sharing Tailgating Recipes.

    My daughter bought a slider set at Sur La Table that includes a press and a mini-burger basket that grills nine little burgers at a time. So I changed up the recipe a bit and made cute little sliders using her slider set. If you love sliders and know you’ll be making them often, it’s worth buying a set.

    However, you don’t need a slider set to make this recipe. The second time I made the sliders, I just used a biscuit cutter to help me shape the burgers so they were a consistent size.

    I also used a digital scale to measure the turkey so my sliders would all be a consistent size. If you don’t have a scale at home, just try and divide the meat equally.

    Be sure and oil your bbq grates before putting the burgers on the grill (and even your slider set), so the burgers won’t stick to the grill.

    The avocado spread and the bruschetta come together quickly and are what make this burger extra special. Make sure to use flavorful tomatoes and fully ripe avocados.

    This Bruschetta Turkey Burger Sliders is a perfect burger for your next tailgating party.

    This Bruschetta Turkey Burger Sliders is a perfect burger for your next tailgating party and a great way to use the fantastic late summer tomatoes from your garden or local farmers market.

      Oh my! I want these now. I am thinking I want a slider set too now. I am thinking that that spread would be good on so many sandwhiches as well. Thank you for sharing!
