Equipment

  • Baking dish or 9x13-inch pan
  • Skillet or frying pan
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Pastry Brush
  • Sharp Knife
  • Spatula or tongs

Ingredients
  

For the Sliders:

  • 12 soft slider buns
  • 1 lb sliced turkey breast deli-style or leftover roasted turkey
  • 8 slices turkey bacon
  • 6 slices cheddar cheese halved
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup ranch dressing
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley

Optional Toppings:

  • Lettuce leaves
  • Sliced tomatoes
  • Pickles

Instructions
 

Step 1: Preheat and Prep Your Pan

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or nonstick spray.
  • Line up your slider buns on a cutting board so they’re ready to assemble.
  • Pro Tip: Warming the pan slightly isn’t necessary, but having everything laid out (mise en place style) makes the assembly much smoother.

Step 2: Cook the Turkey Bacon

  • Heat a skillet over medium heat.
  • Place the turkey bacon slices in the pan and cook for 3–4 minutes per side, or until crispy.
  • Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.
  • Pro Tip: Don’t overcrowd the pan; cook in batches if needed so each slice crisps evenly.

Step 3: Make the Creamy Sauce

  • In a medium mixing bowl, combine 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 1/4 cup ranch dressing, and 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard.
  • Whisk until smooth and fully combined.
  • Pro Tip: Whisk continuously to prevent any lumps and get a perfectly creamy texture.

Step 4: Assemble the Sliders

  • Slice the slider buns in half horizontally.
  • Spread a generous layer of the creamy sauce on the bottom halves.
  • Layer turkey slices evenly, followed by crispy turkey bacon.
  • Top with halved cheddar slices.
  • Place the top halves of the buns over the sliders.
  • Pro Tip: Stack ingredients slightly off-center for easier grabbing and better presentation.

Step 5: Butter and Season the Tops

  • In a small bowl, mix melted butter with garlic powder and dried parsley.
  • Use a pastry brush to lightly coat the tops of the buns.
  • Pro Tip: This step gives your sliders that golden, restaurant-style finish. Don’t skip it—it makes a huge flavor difference.

Step 6: Bake and Serve

  • Cover the baking dish loosely with aluminum foil.
  • Bake for 15–20 minutes, until the cheese is melted and everything is heated through.
  • Remove the foil in the last 5 minutes to let the tops get lightly golden.
  • Let sliders cool for 2–3 minutes before serving.
  • Pro Tip: Cooling slightly prevents the sauce from spilling out and makes the sliders easier to handle.
