Additional Items:

• Large Bowl

Directions:

For the Sauce:

Stir together sauce ingredients until well combined.
Store covered in the fridge so flavors can meld until ready to serve.

For the Burgers:

On the grill's side burner, cook bacon until crispy in a medium skillet; drain on paper towels and then mince.
Note: If the grill does not have a side burner, place directly on the cooking grates over direct heat.
Drain all but 1 tbsp of the fat; allow the fat remaining in the skillet to cool a minute before continuing or onions will cook too quickly.
With skillet over medium heat, cook onions until they are a golden color; about 10-15 minutes.
Add bell pepper and continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes to soften.
Transfer to a mixing bowl, add the bacon and cool completely.
Thoroughly mix in the turkey, scallion, hot sauce and seasonings and form into 16 balls the size of golf balls.
Flatten by hand; they should be slightly larger than the slider bun.
Set grill up for direct cooking over medium heat; be sure to clean and oil the grate.
Cook sliders directly on the grate for 2-4 minutes per side or until cooked through; 5-7 minutes per side if making burgers.
Serve on toasted slider buns with shredded lettuce and a dollop of sauce.
Spear a cherry tomato and cornichon on a sandwich pick and poke into the slider to hold it all together.
