Turkey Burger and Pear Sliders

For those seeking a lighter, yet equally tantalizing option, these turkey and pear sliders are a game-changer. Ground turkey provides a lean, yet flavorful base, beautifully complemented by the sweet and juicy slices of grilled U.S. pear and bold Chevré. It’s a combination that brings a delightful contrast of flavors and textures, proving that sliders can be both refined and incredibly satisfying.

Featuring USA Pears.
