Instructions
To make the slaw
- Thinly slice the celery.
- Cut the apple into matchstick sized pieces.
- Combine the apple and celery into a bowl. Add in the vinegar, mustard, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine. Set aside.
To make the bbq sauce
- Add the oil to a saucepan over medium heat. Add in the diced shallots. Cook til softened about 5 minutes. Then add in the garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
- Add in the cranberry sauce, ketchup, vinegar, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper.
- Bring to just a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cook until the sauce thickens about 5 minutes.
- If you want the sauce to be smooth, run it through a food processor or blender. Or you could allow it to cool enough to smooth it out with a sticker blender.
Assembly the sliders
- Put the turkey on the sliders cold or heat it up first. Then add ¼ cup of turkey to each bun, roll, or biscuit.
- Add 2 tablespoons of the slow and then top with the BBQ sauce.
