Turkey sliders with goat-cheese-stuffed peppadews

This is straight outta that terrifying show, semi-homemade or what have you, where a pretty lady literally gets to have a TV job where she tells you how to pour things out of cans and boxes and make it seem like fresh food.

Well, not really. But there is a major cheat - pre-made turkey burgers from Whole Foods.

Here are your ingredients -

2 mediterranean-style turkey burgers from Whole Foods butcher shop
8 mini-challah rolls
8 good sized fresh peppadews
a small log of goat cheese
some vegetables for the side (carrots and celery work a treat, or you could bake up some frozen french fries)

1. Separate each turkey burger into four equal pieces, then mash them into burger-like shapes. Pan fry them in olive oil, 5-6 minutes on each side or until cooked all the way through.
2. While the burgers are cooking, your cat will probably be meowling up a storm. Do not give him hot turkey burger off the stove! Resist. Instead, use your broiler to toast the mini challah rolls, which you have cut in half like hamburger buns. Broil for 3-4 minutes or until nice and toasty looking.
(PS, all of the above steps could certainly be done on an outdoor grill!)
3. While the buns and burgers are cooking, take your peppadews and squeeze out any excess oil. Make four slices around them, leaving the center intact, so that they look like four leafed clovers. Take a nice smear of goat cheese and stuff it in there.
4. When the sliders are ready, place them on the buns, and smush the stuffed peppadews on the top of the sliders cheese side down. Pop on the top of the bun and voila - super flavorful burgers with no extra condiments necessary!
