Main Ingredients
- 24 pieces mini slider buns preferably whole wheat
- 2.5 cups sliced turkey breast thinly sliced
- 24 slices sharp cheddar cheese or cheese of choice
- 1 cup lime-aioli sauce see recipe below

- 3 tablespoons brown sugar

- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds optional
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Slice the buns in half horizontally, keeping the tops connected. Place the bottom halves in a single layer on the baking sheet.
- Evenly spread the lime-aioli sauce over the bottom buns.
- Layer the turkey slices and cheese evenly over the aioli, then place the top buns over the cheese.
- Mix melted butter with apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, chili powder, and sesame seeds.
- Brush glaze generously over the tops of the buns. Cover with foil and bake for 8 minutes.
- Uncover and bake for an additional 10 minutes until golden brown and the cheese is melted.
- Cool slightly, slice individual sliders, and serve warm.
Notes
To enhance the flavor, use smoked turkey breast. These sliders can be made vegetarian by substituting turkey with grilled vegetables.
