Description

These Hawaiian Turkey and Cheese Sliders feature sweet Hawaiian rolls loaded with savory deli turkey and melted Swiss or provolone cheese. Topped with a flavorful butter, poppy seed, and onion glaze, they bake to golden perfection, making them an easy and delicious option for parties, game days, or quick weeknight dinners.


Ingredients

Scale

Sliders

  • 12 Hawaiian sweet rolls, sliced in half
  • 3/4 pound sliced deli turkey
  • 6 slices Swiss or provolone cheese, halved
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

Topping Glaze

  • 4 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon poppy seeds
  • 1 tablespoon minced onion
  • 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder


Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking and facilitate easy cleanup.
  2. Mix Spread: In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise and Dijon mustard until smooth. Spread this mixture evenly over the bottom halves of the Hawaiian rolls placed in the baking dish.
  3. Assemble Sliders: Layer the sliced deli turkey evenly over the mayo-mustard spread, then add the halved Swiss or provolone cheese on top. Place the top halves of the rolls over the cheese layers.
  4. Prepare Butter Glaze: In another bowl, whisk together the melted butter, poppy seeds, minced onion, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic powder until well combined.
  5. Apply Glaze: Generously brush the butter mixture over the tops of the assembled rolls, ensuring even coverage for flavor and a golden finish.
  6. Bake Covered: Cover the baking dish tightly with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. This allows the cheese to melt and the flavors to meld.
  7. Bake Uncovered: Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 5 to 7 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and slightly crisp.
  8. Cool and Serve: Allow the sliders to cool slightly before serving to ensure the cheese sets just enough for easy handling and the best flavor experience.

Notes

  • These sliders are perfect for parties, game days, or an easy weeknight dinner.
  • You can prep the sliders a few hours in advance and refrigerate before baking for convenience.
  • Try swapping the turkey with ham or roast beef for a different flavor variation.
