Turkey & Bacon Sliders with ‘Isn’t That Special Sauce’ have crispy bacon, slices of turkey, melted mozzarella cheese and a creamy sauce. The perfect slider recipe for any night of the week.
Sliders have been a huge hit in my house since I started making them about a year ago. In the summer they pair well with chips and other cold side dishes. In the winter they are perfect for dipping into soups. They are also big on flavor when you hit the right combination. I think I have a winner for you today for Sunday Supper, Turkey & Bacon Sliders with ‘Isn’t That Special’ Sauce.
Sure you can make these sliders just plain or maybe add some boring mayonnaise on it but WHY would you when you can add some ‘Isn’t That Special’ Sauce?
While this is similar to the pickle & vinegar based sauce we all know and love, I really wanted to set mine apart with a unique name. So I am paying homage to a show that I have loved since my early teen’s, Saturday Night Live.
You know that question, “Who are the 3 people you would invite to dinner?”
I could easily answer that and everyone at the table would be a former cast member of SNL. I am a super Tina Fey Fan Girl. Will Ferrell in my eyes is the hottest guy in Hollywood. And Steve Martin is a genius. Who would you invite to dinner?
How to make Turkey & Bacon Sliders with ‘Isn’t That Special Sauce:
Cook your bacon according to package direction. I just make mine right on my stove top but my friend swears by baking it in the oven.
Drain the bacon then set up a slider assembly.
Grease the bottom of a baking dish. Add buns, turkey, bacon, and cheese. Top off with the bun.
In a microwave-safe mug add 4 Tbs. butter and 1/2 tsp. garlic powder. Melt butter in the microwave. Pour on top of the sliders.
Put sliders into a preheated 375-degree oven for 20 minutes.
For the sauce. Mix all the ingredients together in a bowl. Done!
Add lettuce and tomatoes if you wish.
And here you are…..

Yes! I want some of that sauce!! Looks great!
The sauce is one of my favorites.
Gotta love any recipe with bacon, right!?
Yes! For sure.
1) I’ve never thought of sliders as soup dippers – wonderful idea.
2) Cooking these babies in the oven is so smart! Less mess and less time.
We love to dip them in a cheddar veggie soup. Which is literally just the winter fancy mix from Costco that I add to a few cups of chicken broth and about a 1/2 cup of cheese. A very simple, quick and kid friendly.
