Buffalo Turkey Sliders

Turkey Sliders
These Buffalo Turkey Sliders are the perfect way to take smoked turkey to another level! We start with a turkey breast seasoned up with our Garlic Jalapeño BLANCO and smoked until it picks up plenty of smokiness. Then we place it in a pan with buffalo sauce and butter and let it rest until the turkey loaded with classic buffalo flavor.

Once the turkey is ready, we slice it up and pile it onto slider buns with plenty of pepper jack cheese to keep it Southwestern. The sliders go back on the smoker until the cheese is melted and everything is hot and gooey.

These Buffalo Turkey Sliders are easy to make, packed with flavor and perfect for football season, parties or anytime you need to feed a crowd!

Place the turkey in a food safe container. In this video we used the Meat Church Bird Baptism Brine Bag. Fill the container with the brine mixture making sure to completely submerge the turkey. Add more water if necessary. Refrigerate and brine overnight 

Remove the turkey from brine, rinse thoroughly and pat dry.
