Slider Components
- 1 slider bun
- 1 1/2 tbsp cranberry sauce
- 2-3 oz sliced turkey breast or thigh meat
- 2-3 tbsp stuffing
- 2 tbsp brown gravy
Instructions
- Prepare the Bun: Cut the slider bun in half horizontally to create a top and bottom piece. This provides a perfect base for assembling the layers of your slider.
- Spread Cranberry Sauce: Evenly spread 1 1/2 tablespoons of cranberry sauce over the bottom half of the slider bun. This adds a sweet and tangy contrast to the savory ingredients.
- Layer the Turkey: Place 2 to 3 ounces of sliced turkey breast or thigh meat evenly over the cranberry sauce, ensuring good coverage for each bite.
- Add Stuffing: Spoon 2 to 3 tablespoons of stuffing over the turkey layer, adding a traditional Thanksgiving texture and flavor.
- Drizzle Gravy: Pour 2 tablespoons of warm brown gravy over the stuffing to add moisture and rich flavor to the slider.
- Complete the Slider: Place the top half of the slider bun over the gravy, gently pressing down to combine all the layers without squishing the ingredients too much.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve the slider immediately while the gravy is warm, and enjoy a tasty, mini Thanksgiving meal all in one bite!
Notes
- You can toast the slider buns if you prefer a crispy texture.
- Leftover turkey and stuffing from your holiday meal work perfectly for this recipe.
- If you don’t have cranberry sauce, consider substituting with a cranberry chutney or sauce with similar sweetness and tartness.
- Warm the brown gravy before drizzling so it seeps nicely into the stuffing and bun.
- For added flavor, add a slice of cheese or a sprinkle of fresh herbs like sage or rosemary.
