In a large mixing bowl, combine ground turkey, cilantro, garlic, cumin, salt, and pepper until thoroughly incorporated.

Form into 8 slider-sized patties, roughly 2 ounces each.

Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high (making sure to oil the grates if using an indoor grill pan) and cook sliders until underside begins to brown, roughly 4 minutes. Flip and cook an additional 3 to 4 minutes until no longer pink inside. Set aside.

In a medium bowl, roughly mash avocados with a fork. Add feta cheese, lemon juice, and crushed red pepper flakes and mix until combined.

Assemble the sliders: on the bottom bun, layer lettuce, one patty, one tomato slice, a generous scoop of avocado mash, about 1 T. sprouts, and top with remaining bun half.
