You will bake these sliders for a total time of 15 minutes: 10 minutes covered and 5 minutes uncovered. This does not count the time it may take you to cook your bacon.
We always use original Hawaiian rolls for our sliders. love the slightly sweet, super soft, rolls! You can use any slider buns you like and there are lots of brands out there.
We also like the Sara Lee slider buns a lot. They don’t have a sweetness to them, but they are still very soft and fluffy.
You can’t go wrong with serving homemade coleslaw, mustard potato salad, french fries, or even sweet potato fries.
While these turkey sliders have a chipotle mayo on them, feel free to serve it on the side instead with a variety of other sauces and toppings.
We recommend trying honey dijon dressing, southwest dressing, sliced tomatoes, dill pickles, lettuce, or ranch dressing.
Can You Make Sliders Ahead of Time?
Sliders are best when they are fresh out of the oven. While you can make them 30 minutes before your party guests arrive, we don’t suggest making them the day before and reheating if you want the best results.
You can however cook the bacon up to 1 week in advance. Store it in the refrigerator until ready to use. The rest is quick and easy to throw together and bake right before the party starts so guests can enjoy them at their best!
