Baked Turkey Cheese Sliders Recipe

Introduction

Baked Turkey Cheese Sliders are a delicious and easy-to-make snack or meal perfect for gatherings or a quick family dinner. Soft Hawaiian rolls are layered with savory turkey and melted provolone, then brushed with a flavorful butter and Dijon mustard sauce before baking 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, combine the melted butter, Dijon mustard, sugar, and chopped parsley. Mix well until fully blended.
3. Step 3: Slice the Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally. Place the bottom halves snugly in a 9×13-inch baking pan.
4. Step 4: Layer the sliced turkey evenly over the bottom rolls, then top with provolone cheese slices. Place the top halves of the rolls back on, and use a knife to cut between each slider.
5. Step 5: Brush the butter and Dijon sauce evenly over the tops of the sliders, making sure to work some of the sauce down between the rolls.
6. Step 6: Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the tops turn golden brown and the cheese has melted. Serve warm and enjoy!

Tips & Variations

• For extra flavor, add a layer of cranberry sauce or a slice of tomato beneath the turkey.
• Substitute provolone with Swiss or cheddar cheese for a different taste.
• Use leftover turkey or deli turkey for a quick shortcut.
• Adding a sprinkle of garlic powder or onion powder to the butter mixture can enhance the savory notes.

Storage

Store any leftover sliders in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350˚F for about 10 minutes to keep the bread crisp and the cheese melty. Avoid microwaving to prevent sogginess.

FAQs

Can I make these sliders ahead of time?

Yes, you can assemble the sliders a few hours in advance and refrigerate them before baking. Just add a few extra minutes to the baking time if baking from cold.

Can I freeze baked turkey cheese sliders?

While you can freeze the assembled but unbaked sliders, the bread texture might change slightly after freezing and baking. To freeze, wrap tightly and bake from frozen, adding extra baking time as needed.

7. Serve and Enjoy: Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, then separate the sliders along the scored lines and serve warm.

Notes

• You can substitute provolone with mozzarella or Swiss cheese for a different flavor profile.
• For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes to the butter mixture.
• To make the sliders ahead of time, assemble but do not glaze or bake. Refrigerate until ready, then add glaze and bake as directed.
• Adding some caramelized onions between the turkey and cheese layers enhances sweetness and depth of flavor.
