Recipe Step by Step
Here, I’ll highlight some key steps in the recipe, but make sure to check the recipe card for detailed instructions on how to assemble Turkey Club Sliders.
Begin by slicing the rolls horizontally, placing the bottom half in the baking dish, and spreading mayo on it. Then, add the cheese and turkey in layers.
Arrange the bacon over the layers of turkey and cheese.
Next, cover the assembled sliders with the top half of the rolls. Create a savory garlic butter mixture that includes garlic powder, salt, and grated Parmesan, then brush it over the buns. Bake until fully heated throughout.
Once baked, remove from the oven and take off the top buns. Add layers of tomato and onion.
Finally, generously distribute the lettuce over the sandwiches just before serving.
When you replace the bun tops, simply tear or slice them apart for serving, then enjoy!
