Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

1 lb ground chicken
4 oz smoked turkey bacon, sliced into bite-sized pieces
1 medium onion, diced
2 tbsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
2 tbsp tomato paste (natural)
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar (natural)
4 oz smoked turkey slices (optional, for layering or serving)
4 slices plant-based cheese
8 slider buns, soft and slightly sweet
1 tsp natural gelling agent (optional, for texture enhancement)

Instructions

Prepare the Ingredients: Finely chop the onions and slice the smoked turkey bacon into bite-sized pieces to ensure quick and even cooking.
Cook the Smoky Turkey Bacon: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the smoked turkey bacon pieces until crisp. Remove and set aside, leaving the rendered fat in the pan.
Sauté the Onions and Ground Chicken: Add the diced onions to the skillet and cook until soft and translucent. Add the ground chicken, breaking it up with a spatula, and cook until no longer pink and lightly browned.
Add Seasonings and Sauces: Stir in the tomato paste (natural), vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), and apple cider vinegar (natural). Mix well and simmer until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken.
Combine with Smoky Turkey Bacon: Return the smoked turkey bacon to the skillet and fold it into the mixture, adding smoky crunch to every bite.
Assemble the Sliders: Place a generous spoonful of the chicken sloppy joe mixture on each slider bun bottom. Top with a slice of plant-based cheese and smoked turkey slices if desired, then close with the top bun.
Serve Warm and Enjoy: Serve the sliders hot to allow the cheese to melt slightly, creating a creamy and gooey texture.

Notes

Cook onion slowly to develop sweetness and depth of flavor.
Do not overcrowd the pan to ensure the chicken browns instead of steaming.
Use fresh slider buns to prevent sogginess from the moist filling.
Adjust apple cider vinegar (natural) to taste for desired tanginess.
Optional natural gelling agent can be added to thicken the filling while maintaining moisture.
