I partnered with Canadian Turkey to bring you this delicious turkey recipe!  I was compensated for my time, but the recipe, all thoughts and opinions are my own as always.  We really love turkey.

One of the best things about roasting a turkey, is having leftovers.  In fact, sometimes I’ll roast a turkey that is bigger than what we need for one meal, so that I can have leftovers for meals for the upcoming week.  Just two pounds of extra turkey meat (about 3 – 4 cups) is all you need to have a ready-to-go meal starter on hand. Planning for extra turkey leftovers will give you a head start on weeknight dinners and lunches…you’ll thank yourself later!

And since turkey freezes really well, I like to freeze about 1 or 2 cups of leftover shredded turkey in individual ziplock bags, so I can pull them out later to use in soups, salad noodle bowls, bakes, turkey pot pie, and sandwiches like these delicious Baked Turkey Cheddar Pull-Apart Sliders.

These sliders are the perfect recipe for lunch the day after a big turkey dinner, or to make later with the leftover turkey you stowed away in your freezer!  Assemble them in minutes, and pop them in the oven to bake, and the result is a warm, cheesy, flavourful turkey sandwich.

For these sliders I gathered all of our favourite ingredients for a flavourful sandwich: leftover turkey, cooked & crumbled bacon, red onion, shredded cheddar cheese, mustard and ranch dressing, all smushed between soft tray buns.  Seriously.

Make a sandwich assembly line, add the ingredients and put all the loaded buns into a 9×9 square baking pan.  Make sure to add loads of cheese so it melts between all the buns…soooooo good.

Then spread on a melted butter & mustard topping, and pop them in the oven to bake.  The easiest lunch or dinner ever…especially if you’re feeding a crowd.

Serve them hot out of the oven…the buns are crunchy and buttery on the outside, soft, cheesy and loaded with flavour on the inside.

For a complete meal, serve these pull-apart sliders with a side salad and pickles.

Such a delicious way to use up leftover turkey.

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees.
