Why We Love These Turkey Sliders

These sliders are great hot, but they also taste great as leftovers which make them a great option when feeding a crowd. Plus you can make 3 or 30 in almost the same amount of time.

They are seriously that easy to make. These sliders come together in less than 30 minutes, so they’re perfect for when unexpected guests come over or an easy lunch recipe, too.

We love sliders because they can be made in a variety of ways with ingredients that you probably already have.

Ingredients

• Butter – We use unsalted butter
• Garlic Salt – If you are out, check out The Best Garlic Salt Substitute
• King’s Hawaiian Dinner Rolls – You can even make Homemade Kings Hawaiian Rolls recipe
• Thin Sliced Turkey – I like to use deli meat or if buying in bulk, slice your own deli meat with these Best Meat Slicers. It is even great with leftover turkey from Slow Cooker Whole Turkey.
• Mozzarella Cheese – Use cheese that you prefer in slices or shred your own

Variations Ideas

• Change the Cheese – Use swiss cheese, cheddar cheese or provolone cheese instead of mozzarella.
• Additional Meat – Make it a super slider by adding roast beef and ham! Bacon would also be good.
• Butter Mixture – Mix in dijon mustard, poppy seeds and Worcestershire sauce in with the melted butter.
• Add Vegetables – Add in sliced tomatoes between the turkey and the cheese.
• Sauce – Spread honey mustard, chipotle mayo or mayonnaise on the bottom of the rolls.
• Top with Parmesan Cheese – Sprinkle parmesan cheese on top of the rolls after you brushed the butter.

How to Make Hawaiian Turkey and Cheese Sliders

• Step 1 – Preheat oven to 350. Cut the Hawaiian rolls in half lengthwise to make sandwiches. Remove tops and set aside.
• Step 2 – Place the bottom halves onto a baking pan.

Step 3 – Layer the deli turkey onto the rolls.

Step 4 – Top the turkey slices with the sliced mozzarella cheese.

Step 5 – Place the tops of the rolls onto the sandwiches.

Step 6 – Melt butter and mix in the garlic salt.

Step 7 – Brush or pour the liquid mixture evenly over the rolls.

Step 8 – Place in a baking dish and bake in a preheated oven for 20 minutes or until the rolls are lightly browned and cheese is melted.

• Step 9 – Allow them to cool slightly (about 5 minutes). Separate the sliders into individual sandwiches to serve.
• Step 10 – You can eat the sliders immediately or serve them cold. Either way, everyone will love them.

Expert Tips

• Cutting Hawaiian Rolls – Gently cut the rolls with a serrated knife so that you have clean lines and the rolls do not tear.
• Cooking Time – Baking time will vary depending on your oven and the rolls you use. Watch closely so the buns do not burn.
