How to make Turkey Cheese Sliders
- These oven baked turkey cheese sliders are sliced and slathered with your favorite barbecue sauce. After you slather on the sauce, you layer deli turkey meat and cheddar cheese.
- Then, before you bake the turkey slider to melty goodness, you mix up some melted butter with all the spices you need to make a BBQ chip seasoning.
- The secret ingredient? Smoked paprika and brown sugar. Pour it all over the cheesy turkey rolls, then add in the baking dish to bake. After that…EAT! And try to share a turkey cheese slider. 🙂
FAQs
I just think cheddar goes so well with BBQ flavor, but you could also use Jack or Pepper Jack, or any kind you like.

This was a hit at my baby shower, made it exactly as stated in the recipe. I am now going to make them for dinner (a week later) because I’ve been! craving them since my baby shower lol!
Reading this is making my mouth water! I’m gonna make these asap! Yummy for my tummy!
These sliders were awesome. I kicked it up a bit by using Tajun seasoning instead of chili powder. Thanks for the great pre fireworks shopping lunch. That’s an event at our house!
I love Bashas!!! I have to check next time we are in AZ to see if they still have that chicken special. Where in AZ did you live? We spend the winters in Lake Havasu City which we love. We are from Minneapolis and I swear 1/3 of the residents are from Minnesota so we feel right at home. Recipe looks awesome!!
I love how you pour the butter and spices over the top. I am gonna have to use that technique.
