Introduction

These Baked Turkey Cheese Sliders are a delicious and easy crowd-pleaser, perfect for game days or casual gatherings. Layered with tender turkey and melted provolone on soft Hawaiian rolls, they’re topped with a flavorful buttery Dijon glaze that bakes to golden perfection.

Ingredients

• 24 King’s Hawaiian rolls (2 12-pack packages)
• 1 lb sliced turkey breast
• 8 oz provolone cheese (12 slices)
• 1/4 cup butter (melted)
• 3 tbsp Dijon mustard
• 2 tbsp sugar
• 2 tbsp chopped parsley

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F.
2. Step 2: In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, Dijon mustard, sugar, and chopped parsley until well combined.
3. Step 3: Slice the Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally and arrange the bottom halves snugly in a 9×13-inch baking pan.
4. Step 4: Evenly layer the sliced turkey and provolone cheese over the bottom halves of the rolls. Place the tops of the rolls back on, then carefully cut between each slider using a sharp knife.
5. Step 5: Brush the butter-Dijon mixture generously over the tops of the rolls, making sure to work any extra sauce down between the sliders for maximum flavor.
6. Step 6: Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the cheese has melted. Serve warm and enjoy!

Tips & Variations

• For a spicy kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or swap Dijon mustard for spicy brown mustard in the sauce mix.
• Try swapping turkey for ham or roast beef to change up the flavor profile.
• Sprinkle a little garlic powder or onion powder into the butter mixture for added depth.
• Use different cheese varieties like Swiss or cheddar for a new twist.

Storage

Store any leftover sliders in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place sliders in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes until warmed through and the cheese is melty again. Avoid microwaving to keep the bread from getting soggy.

FAQs

Can I prepare these sliders ahead of time?

Slider Ingredients

• 24 Kings Hawaiian Rolls (2 12-pack packages)
• 1 lb sliced turkey breast
• 8 oz provolone cheese (12 slices)

Butter Dijon Sauce

• 1/4 cup butter (melted)
• 3 tbsp Dijon mustard
• 2 tbsp sugar
• 2 tbsp chopped parsley

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 375˚F to ensure it’s hot and ready for baking the sliders.
2. Prepare the sauce: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, Dijon mustard, sugar, and chopped parsley. Stir thoroughly until the mix is well blended and smooth to create a flavorful glaze.
3. Slice the rolls: Carefully slice the Kings Hawaiian rolls horizontally in half, creating a top and bottom layer. Arrange the bottom halves snugly in a 9×13-inch baking pan, fitting them tightly to hold the filling well.
4. Assemble the sliders: Layer the sliced turkey breast evenly over the bottom rolls, then add the provolone cheese slices on top. Place the top halves of the rolls back over the cheese. Use a knife to cut between each slider to separate them for easy serving later.
5. Apply the glaze: Brush the prepared butter Dijon sauce generously over the tops of the assembled rolls. Be sure to work any extra sauce down the gaps between the sliders to infuse flavor throughout.
6. Bake the sliders: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the tops of the rolls are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
7. Serve and enjoy: Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving these irresistible warm sliders to your guests or family.

Notes

• You can substitute provolone with Swiss or mozzarella cheese if you prefer a different flavor.
• For extra flavor, add a slice of tomato or a leaf of lettuce inside the slider before closing the top roll.
• If you want a spicier kick, try mixing a pinch of cayenne pepper or hot sauce into the butter Dijon glaze.
• These sliders can be prepared ahead of time, assembled, covered, and refrigerated overnight before baking.
• Use a sharp serrated knife for cleaner cuts between the rolls.
