If you’re looking for something a little different, you’ve come to the right place. I’m going to show you three sliders inspired by different food cultures from around the world. These sliders are made with ground turkey, shredded chicken and ground beef. The ground turkey is Thai inspired, the shredded chicken is Latin inspired and the ground beef slider is American inspired. These recipes are always a hit at my cookouts.
Whether you’re looking for a classic hamburger slider or something with a little flair, we hope you’ll try one of our recipes. Sliders are the perfect dish for any summer gathering! So fire up the grill and enjoy!

Slider Tips & Tricks
There are a few things that you can do to ensure your sliders are amazing every single time. Here are a few tips to keep in mind.
- Use something to keep the sliders uniform. My go-to is a 1/4 cup dry measuring cup or a 2 ounce ice cream scoop.
- Press your patties by covering them with wax or parchment paper, and use a clean 1/4-cup dry measuring cup to press them evenly.
- Grill the patties between 350-400°F degrees over direct heat.
- The fat from your beef patties will cause the grill to flare up, so be careful.
- If grilling outside isn’t an option, you can use your oven’s broiler. Cook your patties for 10 minutes.
- Let your patties chill in the refrigerator for 5-10 minutes to bind together. A cold patty doesn’t fall apart, but a room temperature one will.
- Have fun with your toppings and pairings to create unique creations.
- Use a quality slider bun. My favorite is brioche slider buns because they’re full of buttery deliciousness.
