Instructions
1
In a medium bowl, combine low-fat mayonnaise and plain yogurt until smooth.
2
In a small bowl, mix 3/4 cup of the mayonnaise-yogurt blend with 2 1/4 teaspoons of curry powder, ketchup, minced garlic, and 1 1/2 tablespoons of plain yogurt. Stir well and let the sauce sit at room temperature for the flavors to meld while you prepare the sliders.
3
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground turkey (or chicken), cilantro, green onion, ginger, cumin, hot chili powder (or paprika), salt, and the remaining 1/4 cup of mayonnaise-yogurt blend along with 4 teaspoons of curry powder.
4
Using your hands or a fork, gently mix the ingredients until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
5
Divide the mixture into 12 equal portions and, using wet hands, shape each portion into a patty about 1/2 inch thick.
6
If broiling, preheat the broiler and brush a rimmed baking sheet with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Place the patties on the baking sheet. Alternatively, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
7
Cook the patties by broiling for about 3 minutes per side, or if using a skillet, cover and cook for about 4 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula to keep them from puffing up.
8
Once cooked through, remove the patties and place each on the bottom half of a toasted roll.
9
Drizzle the garlic curry aioli sauce generously over each patty, then cover with the top half of the rolls.
10
Arrange 3 sliders on each of 4 plates for serving, and enjoy the burst of flavors together.
