There are some days when I think that I might cut out posting on Saturdays – which would mean getting rid of Saturdays with Rachael Ray. I worry that you all get tired of hearing from me 6 days a week – or even 7 days like it’s going to be this week!! But then I try a recipe like this one, and realize that there is no way I want to give up my Rachael Ray day!!
These little sliders are so packed with flavor. I’m a huge fan of peanut butter based sauces, and I couldn’t get this recipe out of my head after I first saw it. Knowing that my husband isn’t a big fan of peanut butter in savory dishes, I had to wait until a night when I knew he wouldn’t be eating dinner, but it was so worth the wait. The burgers are perfectly spiced, then you have lots of crunch and a bit of heat from the toppings, and then the sauce – that is a might fine way to top a burger.
I do have to give a bit of a warning – the original recipe said to use 1 tablespoon of Asian chile sauce or sriracha. Ok, I understand the 1 tablespoon of the Asian chile sauce. But 1 tablespoon of sriracha? Does Rachael Ray have a tongue of steel? I was going to be using sriracha, and I knew that 1 tablespoon would have made this inedible for me. So I cut it down to about 1 teaspoon. And it was still H-O-T. Almost too hot to eat, but not quite. I would suggest starting off with 1/2 teaspoon, and if you want more heat, you can always add some more in.
Yes, Rachael Ray – I can’t give up my Saturday posts of your recipes, because they are just too darn good!!
A Rachael Ray recipe for chicken or turkey sliders, topped with a peanut butter satay sauce
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup chunky peanut butter
- 1/4 cup apple juice, apple cider or pineapple juice
- 3 teaspoons tamari
- 1 tablespoon Asian chili sauce, or 1/2 teaspoon sriracha
- 1 1/2 pounds ground chicken or turkey
- 2 scallions, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, grated or finely chopped
- 1 piece (1 1/2 inches) fresh ginger, grated or finely chopped
- salt and pepper
- vegetable oil, for coating
- 8 slider sized soft rolls
- shredded cabbage or iceberg lettuce
- sliced chile peppers, such as fresnos
- thinly sliced radishes
- mint or cilantro leaves
Instructions
- Preheat an outdoor grill or a grill pan to medium-high.
- Mix the meat with the green onion, garlic and ginger. Season with salt and pepper. Divide the meat and portion into 8 patties. Coat each with a small amount of vegetable oil. Grill, turning once, until cooked through – 6 to 8 minutes.
- In the meantime, heat the peanut butter in the microwave to soften, or in a small pot over medium heat. Stir in the juice, tamari and Asian garlic sauce or sriacha.
- When the burgers are cooked through, serve them on the buns with a generous amount of satay sauce and your desired toppings.

I just got this magazine the other day because of the sliders – and I too thought 1 Tbsp of sirachi could not be right! It must be a typo!
Glad to know that these were so good….because I do intend to try them!

I saw these in the August issue and thought they looked fabulous, so it’s good to know they tasted as good as they looked! I noticed the sriracha thing, too — 1 tablespoon, are you serious? Oh, Rach. Tongue of steel indeed!

Rachel Ray makes really good burgers. Have you tried her recipe for her Thanksgiving Turkey burgers? My fiancee and I loved those and her chili dog burgers are good also.
Great idea for some burgers! They look really tasty!
