Even then, the Janissaries weren't slaves. They were conscripted from Christian POWs and slaves. In fact, they were probably the first iteration of the modern military in that they were paid regularly (albeit out of the Sultan's own pocket), marched and drilled to music, wore uniforms, and primarily used firearms. Ref. here.
