Baked Turkey Cheese Sliders Recipe

Introduction

These Baked Turkey Cheese Sliders are a delicious and easy crowd-pleaser, perfect for gatherings or a tasty dinner. Soft King’s Hawaiian rolls are layered with savory turkey and melted provolone, then brushed with a flavorful buttery Dijon sauce before baking to golden perfection.

Ingredients

• 24 King’s Hawaiian Rolls (2 packages of 12 each)
• 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 bowl, combine the melted butter, Dijon mustard, sugar, and chopped parsley. Mix well to create your sauce.
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: Evenly layer the sliced turkey and provolone cheese over the bottom halves of the rolls. Place the top halves back onto the sandwiches. Using a sharp knife, cut between each roll to separate them while still in the pan.
5. Step 5: Brush the prepared butter-Dijon sauce generously over the tops of the sliders, making sure to coat each one evenly. Let any extra sauce drip down between the rolls for added 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 extra flavor, add a layer of sliced pickles or a thin spread of mayonnaise under the turkey.
• Substitute provolone with mozzarella or Swiss cheese for a different taste.
• Sprinkle a little garlic powder or onion powder into the butter sauce for added depth.

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 or until warmed through to maintain the crispy tops and melty cheese.

FAQs

Can I make these sliders ahead of time?

Yes, you can assemble the sliders a few hours in advance and refrigerate them unbaked. Just bring them to room temperature before baking to ensure even cooking.

Can I freeze the baked sliders?

While you can freeze the baked sliders, the bread may become slightly soggy upon thawing. For best results, freeze the assembled unbaked sliders and bake them directly from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.

Sauce

Notes

• If you like a bit of a kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or smoked paprika to the sauce.
• You can substitute provolone with mozzarella or Swiss cheese for a different flavor profile.
• Make these sliders ahead of time and refrigerate before baking; just add a few extra minutes to the baking time if baking chilled.
• For added moisture, consider spreading a thin layer of mayonnaise or cranberry sauce on the rolls before layering turkey.
• Use a serrated knife to slice the rolls to avoid squishing them.
