CHIPOTLE BARBECUE PULLED TURKEY DRUMSTICK SLIDERS WITH BRUSSELS SPROUT SLAW



Chipotle Barbecue Pulled Turkey Drumstick Sliders with Brussels Sprout Slaw image

Turkey drumsticks do not take kindly to the dry heat of an oven, which causes the meat to tighten up around the bone and tendons. But treat those same drumsticks to a long, slow, moist braise in barbecue sauce, and the meat falls off the bones, revealing tough tendons so numerous, you won't believe it.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     appetizer

Time 25m

Yield 8 servings (3 sliders per person)

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 tablespoon peanut or vegetable oil
2 pounds ground turkey (not lean)
1 large egg
1/3 cup plain breadcrumbs
3 scallions, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon Asian fish sauce
Large pinch crushed red pepper flakes
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup hoisin sauce
24 thin slices of cucumber (from 1 small cucumber)
1 cup loosely packed cilantro leaves and tender stems
For serving:
24 large Bibb lettuce leaves
1 medium carrot, shredded
1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
Lime wedges
1/4 cup unsalted dry-roasted peanuts, coarsely chopped
Sriracha sauce, optional

Steps:

  • Special equipment: a 10-by-15-inch broiler-safe rimmed baking sheet
  • Position an oven rack 4 to 5 inches from the heating element, and preheat the broiler. Brush a 10-by-15-inch broiler-safe rimmed baking sheet with the oil.
  • Put the turkey, egg, breadcrumbs, scallions, fish sauce, red pepper flakes, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper in a large bowl, and mix gently, just enough to incorporate evenly. Drop mounds of the mixture all around the prepared baking sheet, and press them into an even layer. Score the meat into 24 even squares, cutting down almost all the way. Brush the top with the hoisin sauce. Broil until the meat is browned and glazed and registers 165 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer, 8 to 9 minutes.
  • Carefully pour off any excess liquid from the cookie sheet. Rescore the meat into 24 sliders, then follow the score lines with a spatula to divide. Top each slider with a cucumber slice and a cilantro leaf.
  • While the sliders are cooking, arrange the lettuce, remaining cilantro, carrots, onions and lime wedges on a serving platter. Put the peanuts and Sriracha if using in small serving bowls. Slide a spatula in the pan and let guests build their sliders with their desired toppings.
