Thanksgiving is a day devoted to cooking and family. While it’s fulfilling, it can also be a tiring experience. Additionally, it can lead to a lot of leftovers. Kim and I figured, why not transform those dishes into a handheld meal?

Today, we’re re-sharing our Thanksgiving sliders. Updated with new photos, a helpful video, and new instructions! In about 15-minutes you can create these tasty sliders for your family and friends.

Best of all, there’s a step-by-step video for assembly.

How to make Thanksgiving sliders:

First, you need to reheat all those tasty dishes. Personally, I prefer to use the microwave for this step. It’s easy to reheat everything on medium power. Using a lower power will keep things from drying out.

Mashed potatoes spread out on a bun.

Next, place the bottom bun on a cutting board or other clean surface. It’s time to assemble the sliders.

Use a rubber spatula to spread out about 1 tablespoon of the creamy mashed potatoes.

Sliced turkey place on top of the mashed potatoes.

Afterward, place 1 to 2 small slices of roasted turkey on top of the mashed potatoes. As written on the recipe card, you’re going to use about 1 tablespoon of each ingredient.

Stuffing placed on top of the turkey.

Then, add the cornbread stuffing on top of the turkey. Now, you don’t have to use that type of stuffing.

Feel free to use any kind you have on-hand. Typically, I make sage stuffing on Thanksgiving. So, I’d use that instead.

Cranberry sauce poured over the stuffing.

Once the stuffing is in place, put a dollop of cranberry sauce on the sandwich. At this point, your slider is pretty stacked. However, we still have one more ingredient to add to the mix.

Brown gravy poured over the cranberry sauce.

After that, drizzle brown (or turkey) gravy over the cranberry sauce. Last, place the top bun over the gravy.

That’s it, your Thanksgiving sliders are done! Kim and I hope you enjoy them and wish you all the best 🙂

Optional Read:

One last thought before I go. I feel most people will agree that 2020 has been challenging.

Keep that in mind this holiday season and make the most of the time you have with family and friends.

Thanksgiving Sliders Tips:

  • When it comes to reheating the leftovers, you have 2 options. You can use your microwave or you can assemble the sliders and place them in a large baking dish. Cover them with aluminum foil and reheat everything at 325ºF for about 10 to 15 minutes. However, keep an eye on them if you use this method. You don’t want the buns to burn!
  • Everybody has their own special Thanksgiving recipes. Keep that in mind when making these sliders because sodium can become a real issue. Meaning, if your stuffing is a little salty, it might overwhelm the rest of the flavors in the slider.
  • Don’t be afraid to add other leftovers. For example, green bean casserole or candied yams will add another layer of flavor to the dish. Be adventurous and experiment with your own ingredients to create a unique Thanksgiving slider.
