Description
Zesty, protein-packed mini sliders with crispy turkey bacon, melted provolone, and a rich gluten-free cream sauce. These halal-friendly, handheld appetizers combine smoky, melty, and silky textures for a diet-conscious crowd.
Ingredients
Sourdough mini buns (6 pieces)
Turkey breast (12 oz / 340g, pre-cooked or fresh)
Provolone cheese slices (12 pieces)
Gluten-free cream sauce (¾ cup, soy milk-based)
Butter substitute (2 tbsp, plant-based)
Fresh thyme (1 tsp, or ½ tsp dried)
Instructions
Heat butter substitute in a skillet. Cook turkey breast strips (pre-seasoned with soy sauce and black pepper) for 3–4 minutes.
Broil sourdough buns for 1–2 minutes per side.
Layer provolone on the bottom buns, then hot turkey strips.
Spoon 1 tbsp gluten-free cream sauce over each assembly.
Bake at 400°F (205°C) for 6–8 minutes until golden and bubbly.
Notes
Pre-cook turkey ahead for faster assembly.
Measure sauce just before baking to avoid weeping.
Add fresh thyme to the cream sauce for herbal depth.
Let sliders rest 3 minutes before serving for cleaner bites.
Avoid skipping the butter substitute—it enhances toastiness.
