Yum! I added jalapeños instead of pepperoncini and it was 🔥! Definitely making these again!
Meatballs <3
The sliders were amazing! My kids loved them!
Easy to make! But I think I overcooked the meatballs…oops. They were a bit dry.
These sliders were a hit at my party! Everyone loved them! 5 stars!
Glad to hear it! These sliders are the perfect party food!
These sliders are a hit in my house! My kids love them and they are so easy to make. Will definitely be making them again!
I’m so glad your kids loved them! Turkey meatballs are such a great alternative too. Can’t wait to try this myself!
These sliders were a hit at my party! So juicy and flavorful. Will definitely make again!
DISGUSTING!!! Tasted like cardboard. Won’t make again. 😡
Mmmmmm, I love turkey!!! Gonna make this every week! So good!!!
I’m not sure about turkey meatballs… I usually stick to beef. But these were surprisingly good!
Turkey? Sounds weird. I don’t think I’ll ever switch from beef. But I’m glad you liked it!
I can’t believe you tried turkey! That’s awesome! I’m always skeptical, but turkey can be good if seasoned right. Thanks for sharing your experience!
So good! I added some hot sauce to kick it up a notch! Super easy to make!
Hot sauce sounds awesome! I bet it gives it a nice kick! 😋 Can’t wait to try this recipe myself.
Super easy? But turkey meatballs? Aren’t they dry? I usually use beef! 🤔
Quick & easy, but not much flavor! I added some hot sauce, and it made all the difference.
I tried this recipe, but the meatballs were a bit dry. Maybe I should add more milk next time? 🤔
Adding more milk sounds like a good idea! You might also try mixing in some egg for extra moisture. 🍳
My kids loved them! They didn’t even notice they were eating turkey.
That’s awesome! I’m glad your kids enjoyed them. Sneaky ways to get them to eat healthier is always a win!
These sliders are amazing! So easy to make and perfect for game day. My family loved them!
Super easy to make and clean up after! Perfect for busy weeknights. Yum!
Mine fell apart! What did I do wrong? 🤔
I had the same issue once! Maybe the turkey was too lean, or you need more bread crumbs. 🤷♂️
Maybe you didn’t mix it enough? Or the oven temp was off? Try again!
I tried this, but my meatballs were dry. Maybe I used too much bread crumb? Not sure I will make it again.
Recipe is solid. Just had to add extra cheese because I like it that way. 🧀
Just okay. I feel like it was missing something. Maybe more spice? IDK didn’t do much for me.
Why pepperoncini? Like, that seems kinda random. Can I just use pickles?
I didn’t have pepperoncini, so I used jalapeños. They were good but a bit too spicy!
Using jalapeños instead of pepperoncini? That’s creative but I can see how it could be super spicy! Maybe just a few next time.
I dunno, jalapeños ain’t the same as pepperoncini. Might be too hot for some peeps but if you like it spicy, go for it!
Too much cheese! Who needs to eat all that? Just stick to one slice. Thumbs down.
I actually think the more cheese, the better! It melts perfectly on those meatballs. Different strokes for different folks! 🌟
Too much cheese? Nah, it’s just enough! Cheesy sliders are where it’s at. Can’t wait to try this out!
These were okay, but the meatballs were dry. Maybe add some more milk?
Wow, these were delicious! Perfect for game day. I couldn’t find pepperoncini, so I used jalapeños instead. Still great!
I confused oregano with cinnamon, the taste was wild!! Mixed feelings lol.
Kinda dry, maybe less breadcrumbs? Idk if I will make again, 2 stars from me.
Honestly, I think it’s about how you cook them, not just the recipe! Maybe use a juicier turkey? 🤔
I had the same issue! The breadcrumbs made mine kinda dry too. I added an egg next time and it helped! Maybe try that?
Easy to make and healthy too, thumbs up! 👍
This felt like a lot of work for sliders. I prefer burgers!
Totally gonna try this! But will substitute turkey with chicken, lol.
I tried it with chicken instead of turkey and it worked! Delish!
Why do you put cheese on meatballs? That just has to be wrong! I’m stickin to my beef meatballs. Never gonna try turkey.
I followed the recipe, but I forgot the cheese. Still tasted good though!
Not bad, but the meatballs could’ve used more flavor. Maybe some chili flakes next time?
Sliders yum! I didn’t had marinara sauce, used BBQ sauce instead. Still great!
This isn’t how you make sliders. Where’s the beef???
It’s called turkey sliders because it’s healthier! Beef is not the only option.
This is way too much work. Can’t I just buy frozen meatballs?
I dunno, but turkey meatballs just sound weird to me. I stick to beef.
