Turkey Sliders
Meet the ultimate Turkey Sliders! Soft rolls, oven-roasted deli turkey, melty cheese, and a buttery-herb topping make these sliders irresistible.
Equipment
- Ceramic 9 x 13-inch pan
- Parchment paper
- Aluminum foil
Ingredients
Sliders
- 12 count Hawaiian sweet dinner rolls see note 1
- 12 slices Muenster
- 1 pound deli turkey slices
- 1/2 cup mayo
Butter
- 7 tablespoons unsalted butter melted and slightly cooled
- 1 tablespoon Dijon-style mustard
- Poppy seeds
- 1-1/2 teaspoons dried minced onion
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Generously grease a 9x13-inch baking pan. Line pan with parchment paper.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt butter and let it cool slightly. Whisk in remaining ingredients listed under “Butter.”
- Using a serrated bread knife, carefully slice the entire block of Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally, keeping the individual rolls attached (see note 1). Spread 1/4 cup mayo on each cut side of rolls. Place the bottom half of rolls in prepared pan.
- Layer in the following order: Six cheese slices, turkey, and six remaining cheese slices. Do not add the top slab of rolls yet. Bake, uncovered, for 10 minutes.
- Remove pan from oven and place top half of the rolls on the sliders. Generously pour and brush butter mixture on the top and sides. It’s fine if some pools at bottom of pan; this will make the base of the rolls buttery and crispy! Cover the pan with foil and bake 20 minutes. Remove foil and bake an additional 10 minutes or until the top is golden brown and cheese is melted.
- Serve hot, cutting into individual sliders.
Recipe Notes
Note 1: Keep the rolls intact and slice them in half horizontally so they open like a book.

Could I make this up to the point of baking them? Refrigerate overnight then add the topping in the morning and bake.
I think they’d end up soggy!
Very good! If I were to do it again I would only do a 1/3 cup mayo and 6 tbsp butter, was a little too moist
So thrilled you enjoyed! You can definitely adjust to personal preference! Thanks Jill.
