HAWAIIAN ROLL TURKEY AND CHEESE SLIDERS
These warm baked turkey and cheese sliders on sweetened Hawaiian rolls are so easy to make. Ingredients are pantry staple and simple, but the flavor is amazing. Layers of country Dijon mustard, smoked turkey, mozzarella cheese and mayonnaise. Spread butter sauce on top and baked until cheesy and warm.
These sliders are the ultimate crowd pleaser, everyone’s favorite when I am hosting. I literally have to make two batches so it’s enough for kids and adults. My sister made these awhile back for my nephew’s birthday and these have become our family favorite.
RECIPE NOTES
Sliders are a very versatile type of mini sandwiches. Any of your favorite flavors can be made into sliders. This recipe is very straightforward, and I want you to just use it as a guidance. Work with what you have in your pantry.
INGREDIENTS FOR THE RECIPE
HAWAIIAN ROLLS: These rolls are found in the bread aisle. Flavors are usually sweet or buttery rolls. These rolls are perfect for this recipe because they are pillowy soft.
MAYONNAISE & MUSTARD: I really like the flavor of country Dijon mustard; I think the flavor is much milder than yellow mustard. Brown and spicy brown mustard will also work. Any plain mayonnaise is fine.
TURKEY & CHEESE: Use the deli meat and cheese that your family enjoys. You can also do a combination of deli meats. I have made this recipe with mozzarella, provolone and Swiss cheese.
BUTTERY SAUCE: This is what really elevates these basic turkey and cheese sliders. I used onion, garlic and oregano. But you can also just do melted butter, salt and pepper. You just need the spread of butter for baking the sliders, so the top gets nice and brown and slightly crispy.
CAN I PREP THESE AHEAD?
You can easily prep these sliders ahead. But I wouldn’t prep them too much in advance to prevent soggy bread. Spread mustard and mayo, layer the rolls with turkey and cheese. Place on the baking tray and keep covered. Melt the butter and seasonings in a small bowl and keep covered, you can reheat this later. When you are ready, all you have to do is brush the butter on the rolls and bake.
