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
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) to prepare it for baking the sliders evenly.
- Prepare the rolls: Slice the Hawaiian slider rolls in half horizontally to create a top and bottom layer for assembling your sliders.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Brush topping on sliders: Generously brush the butter mixture over the tops of all the assembled sliders to ensure flavor infusion as they bake.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
