    What Are Turkey Sliders

    Instead of making sliders with ground turkey (like burgers), I made a really quick and easy recipe that uses cooked, shredded turkey breast instead. The ingredients are mixed together and placed in Hawaiian sweet rolls.

    These sliders are so cheesy! They are an easy lunch, 30-minute dinner idea, and a fantastic way to use leftover turkey from Thanksgiving.
