Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 12 soft slider buns
  • 8 oz smoky turkey slices
  • 6 oz spicy pepper mix
  • 6 slices plant-based cheese
  • 2 tbsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tbsp olive oil (natural)
  • 1 tsp garlic powder (natural)
  • Fresh basil leaves for garnish
  • 1 tsp natural gelling agent

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Peppers: Sauté the spicy pepper mix in 1 tablespoon of olive oil (natural) over medium heat until they soften but still maintain a bit of crunch. Add a splash of apple cider vinegar and a pinch of garlic powder (natural) for added brightness and depth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  2. Toast the Slider Buns: Slice the slider buns horizontally and lightly brush the inside with remaining olive oil (natural). Toast the buns in a skillet or oven until golden and crisp to prevent sogginess from the fillings.
  3. Assemble the Sliders: On each toasted bun bottom, layer smoky turkey slices, then the sautéed spicy peppers, and top with a slice of plant-based cheese. Drizzle each slider with vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural) for umami flavor.
  4. Melt the Cheese: Place the assembled sliders on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at low heat (around 325°F) for 5-7 minutes, or until the plant-based cheese melts and becomes gooey. Monitor carefully to avoid burning the buns.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Remove sliders from the oven and top each with fresh basil leaves for a fragrant finish. Add the slider tops and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Toast buns freshly to keep them firm and prevent sogginess.
  • Do not overcook the peppers; retain their crunch for texture contrast.
  • Layer turkey first, then peppers, so cheese melts on top and holds everything together.
  • Use high-quality plant-based cheese for best melt and flavor.
  • Serve sliders warm for optimal taste and texture.
