Thai-Licious Turkey Sliders

Submitted by ElizabethKnicely

""Years ago, I wrote a recipe for curry turkey burgers that remains a favorite in my family and among my readers - they mention it to me in passing often. This recipe is a try at not necessarily topping it but at least rivaling it. The 3-inch patty size makes these sliders fun for parties or as a snack-attack supper." --Rachael Ray"
