Description

Warm, melty, and buttery turkey and cheese sliders baked in the oven — perfect for parties, game day, or a quick family dinner. These sliders combine savory turkey, rich cheese, and a flavorful buttery topping that infuses each bite with deliciousness.


Ingredients

Sliders

  • 12 Hawaiian slider rolls
  • 12 slices turkey deli meat
  • 8 slices Swiss or cheddar cheese

Topping

  • ½ cup melted butter
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tsp dried onion flakes
  • 1 tsp poppy seeds (optional)


Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) to prepare it for baking the sliders evenly.
  2. Prepare the rolls: Slice the Hawaiian slider rolls in half horizontally to create a top and bottom layer for assembling your sliders.
  3. Layer the ingredients: On the bottom half of the rolls, evenly layer slices of turkey deli meat followed by slices of Swiss or cheddar cheese for that perfect melt.
  4. Assemble sliders: Place the top halves of the rolls over the meat and cheese layers, forming complete sandwiches, and arrange all sliders in a baking dish snugly.
  5. Make the buttery topping: In a small bowl, combine melted butter, Dijon mustard, honey, dried onion flakes, and poppy seeds if using. Mix well until fully blended.
  6. Brush topping on sliders: Generously brush the butter mixture over the tops of all the assembled sliders to ensure flavor infusion as they bake.
  7. Bake covered: Cover the baking dish with foil and bake the sliders in the preheated oven for 15 minutes to melt the cheese and warm through.
  8. Finish baking uncovered: Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes to brown the tops of the rolls slightly and add a delightful crispness.
  9. Serve warm: Once baked, remove the sliders from the oven and serve immediately for the best melty, buttery experience.

Notes

  • Use leftover turkey after Thanksgiving to create a delicious meal from leftovers.
  • These sliders make a great make-ahead freezer meal — assemble, freeze, then bake when needed.
