“Back-to-School nights can feel super hectic, but crispy McCain Smiles always bring a little extra joy to the table. Quick, easy, and always delicious! 😃” —
½ teaspoon Trader Joe’s Green Goddess seasoning (optional)
8 slices sharp white cheddar or American cheese
Garlic Aioli:
¾ cup mayonnaise
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 ½ tablespoons lemon juice
¾ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
How to make it
Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a 10x13 baking dish with parchment paper.
Make turkey mixture: In a large bowl, combine ground turkey, salt, pepper, garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, and seasoning (if using). Mix until evenly combined.
Shape and bake: Press turkey mixture into the prepared pan in an even rectangle. Bake 25–34 minutes, or until juices run clear and the meat reaches 160°F.
Cook Smiles: While turkey is baking, prepare McCain Smiles according to package directions.
Make aioli: In a small bowl, stir together mayonnaise, garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Refrigerate until ready to use.
Cut patties: Once turkey is fully cooked, remove from oven and carefully lift out the parchment. Drain excess juices. Let rest briefly, then cut into 2-inch rounds with a cookie cutter or into squares.
Assemble sliders: Arrange 14 McCain Smiles on a baking sheet as the bottom 'buns.' Top each with a turkey patty, slice of cheese, pickle (optional), and a dollop of garlic aioli. Press down another McCain Smile as the top bun and enjoy!
