How to Make Mississippi Smoked Turkey Sliders

1️⃣ Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

In a large bowl, mix softened cream cheese, cheddar, sour cream, mayo, scallions, hot sauce, Worcestershire, salt, pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder. Stir in chopped bacon.

4️⃣ Slice & Fill the Rolls
Slice slider rolls in half. Spread the cheese mixture on both the top and bottom halves.

Layer smoked turkey slices on each bottom roll, folding as needed. Add the tops and press gently.

6️⃣ Bake the Sliders
Place sliders in a 9×13-inch pan (or larger, if needed). Brush tops with melted butter. Cover with parchment and foil, and bake for 10 minutes. Uncover and bake another 15 minutes until golden and gooey.

7️⃣ Serve Warm
Serve immediately while hot and melty. Watch them disappear in minutes!

Tips & Variations

  • No Turkey? Use leftover chicken, deli turkey, or rotisserie meat.
