Turkish Meatball Sliders

Course: Appetizer
Cuisine: Middle Eastern
Servings: 24 sliders
Author: LydiaF

Ingredients

For 2 pounds ground meat

  • 1/4 cup finely minced onion
  • 2-4 cloves finely minced garlic
  • 1 cup fresh bread crumbs

For the spice blend

  • 2 tablespoons dried mint
  • 3 tablespoons smoky paprika
  • 1 tablespoon cumin
  • salt and pepper to taste 1 teaspoon each is a good start
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  • Place all the ingredients in a large mixing bowl and work the mix well to ensure even distribution. (The mix should be smoother than you may be used to.)
  • At this point you could test the blend by frying up a small amount and making any adjustments you like.
  • If time allows, let the mix stand for at least an hour before cooking.
  • Divide the mix into equal portions and form the sliders. We formed them to fit the rolls we'd bought and had some extras.
  • Cook the sliders using whatever method you'd like until they're just the way you like them.
