Tips
This recipe is great for leftovers! Make extra sandwiches and save them for quick lunches throughout the week.
If you have leftover turkey from a meal you can use that instead of deli turkey.
If you want an extra pop of color, sprinkle some fresh parsley on top of your sandwiches.
Do not over-bake or the turkey will dry out. You can also broil sandwiches for a couple of seconds if they are not golden brown enough.
Recipe FAQs

Yes, you can! To freeze, wrap turkey sliders tightly with aluminum foil or plastic wrap and place them in the freezer for up to 2 months.
