COLUMBUS, Ohio, Nov. 12, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- White Castle, America's first fast food hamburger chain known for The Original Slider^® debuted a new trio of delectable Turkey Sliders, featuring Butterball^® Turkey burgers, just in time for the holiday season. Like all Thanksgiving celebrations, the featured turkey menu items are complemented by tasty traditional sides like Sweet Potato Waffle Fries and the refreshing Cranberry Spritzer with Sprite^®. The new menu items are now available in White Castle restaurants.

The Turkey Slider trio features the Turkey Dinner Slider – a Butterball^® turkey burger topped with crispy Sweet Potato Waffle Fries and tangy cranberry sauce on White Castle's legendary bun.

"The Turkey Slider trio is perfect for the busy Craver on the go who wants to enjoy the taste and flavors of the holiday season," said Jamie Richardson, vice president of White Castle. "It doesn't matter if you are headed to a football game, family outing or preparing to cash in on the bargains of Black Friday, White Castle has your holiday feast conveniently placed on a sandwich bun, to take with you wherever you go."

As part of the Thanksgiving celebration, White Castle and its philanthropic program Castle Shares will again partner with Share Our Strength's No Kid Hungry^® campaign to raise money to fight childhood hunger. Three-percent of pre-tax sales from each Turkey Slider sold from November 8, 2015 – December 5, 2015 will be donated to Share Our Strength, which is striving to end childhood hunger in America by ensuring all children get the healthy food they need every day. White Castle will contribute a minimum of $10,000 and a maximum of $15,000 during this promotion.

"For the second straight year White Castle and Castle Shares are proud to partner with Share Our Strength's No Kid Hungry campaign to raise awareness and raise funds to combat childhood hunger," said Richardson. "At White Castle, we take our involvement in community causes seriously. We strive to feed the souls of Cravers everywhere by feeding their hunger, hopes and dreams."

White Castle is always looking to add new Craver favorites to the menu to meet the evolving tastes of its customers. The chefs in the White Castle test kitchen have created some popular new menu items over the last couple of years, including the Belgian Waffle breakfast sandwiches and the Veggie Slider that have gone on to become some of our most in-demand items.

"As a family-owned business, we value the feedback and input of our customers, and we constantly look for ways to leverage that insight," said Richardson.
