These look adorable! What a fun way to use up leftover turkey! Years ago, I found a recipe for a delicious Turkey Tetrazzini that has come in handy for the day after Thanksgiving. You combine chopped leftover turkey with pasta, bell peppers, and green onions a creamy sauce flavored with Parmesan cheese. Turkey is so versatile! ?
This is so perfect for post thanksgiving! Our main leftovers were actually homemade cranberry sauce and turkey! What do you do with the mustard and Worcester? Cook it in or just on the side?
As stated in the recipe, you mix it with the melted butter and pour it over the sliders before going in the oven.
Sounds like it’s mixed in with the melted butter.
Could you make this with deli sliced turkey? I’m thinking about making this PRIOR to Thanksgiving.
Yes, deli turkey would work out fine.
I love this with cream cheese. Oh My
So you add the cream cheese to the sliders? I like the idea of cream cheese.
Everything is better with cream cheese! 🤗
These sliders are a great way to use up that leftover turkey!
What did you fix with this sandwich as a sidedish
I think I served it with pickles and chips.
Yummy yummy this are delicious I added a layer my home made
Cornbread stuffing, the cranberries then the turkey yummy 😋😋😋
Just curious, whole cranberry sauce or the jelly type
You can use either that you prefer.
Did you toast them under the broiler?
No, they will crisp up without the broiler, but if yours don’t, you can broil them for a minute or two.
My husband and I love these! I buy Oscar Mayer Carving Board Oven Roasted Sliced Turkey Breast Deli Lunch Meat, and make these anytime we want them. Thank you for posting the recipe!
