Equipment

Baking sheet
Mixing Bowl
Spatula
Brush for butter
Oven

Ingredients

2-3 cups leftover turkey shredded
6 slices bacon cooked and sliced into slider sized portions
6 slices provolone cheese
1 tablespoon ranch seasoning
¼ cup butter melted
1 clove garlic minced
6 slider rolls sliced in half
¼ cup mayonnaise optional

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a bowl, shred the turkey. Place the bottom halves of the slider rolls on a baking sheet.
Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on each roll (optional). Add a portion of the turkey on each bottom half. Place sliced bacon on top of the turkey. Place a slice of provolone cheese over the bacon.
Place the top halves of the slider rolls over the cheese.
Mix the ranch seasoning and minced garlic into the melted butter. Brush this mixture generously over the tops of the slider rolls.
Cover loosely with foil and bake for 10–15 minutes, removing the foil during the last 2–3 minutes so the rolls can lightly brown. Remove from the oven and serve warm.

Notes

Cooking Notes

Loosely covering the sliders while baking helps the cheese melt before the tops brown too quickly. Removing the foil at the end gives the rolls a lightly crisp finish.

Tips for Best Results:

Shred the turkey evenly so the sliders heat through consistently.
Brush the butter mixture generously over the tops for extra flavor.
Remove the foil during the last few minutes so the tops brown lightly.
Serve warm while the cheese is still melted and creamy.

How to Know It’s Ready:

The cheese should be fully melted and the tops lightly golden. The sliders should feel warm throughout when pulled apart.
