One slider is being lifted from the dish, revealing three layers inside: a soft shiny brown bun on top, a gooey white melted cheese layer stretching as it is pulled up, and a layer of white cooked chicken beneath the cheese. The sliders have a shiny, slightly oily surface and look soft and moist.

Ingredients

  • 24 King’s Hawaiian Rolls (2 12-pack packages)
  • 1 lb sliced turkey breast
  • 8 oz provolone cheese (12 slices)
  • 1/4 cup butter (melted)
  • 3 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 2 tbsp chopped parsley

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375˚F (190˚C).
  2. Step 2: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, Dijon mustard, sugar, and chopped parsley. Mix well until smooth.
  3. Step 3: Slice the Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally. Place the bottom halves in a 9×13-inch baking pan, fitting them snugly together.
  4. Step 4: Layer the turkey slices evenly over the bottom rolls, then add provolone cheese on top of the turkey. Place the top halves of the rolls back on.
  5. Step 5: Use a knife to cut between each slider to mark their portions without separating them completely. Brush the butter-Dijon sauce generously over the tops, making sure some sauce seeps between the sliders.
  6. Step 6: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops turn golden brown and the cheese is fully melted. Serve warm and enjoy!

Tips & Variations

  • For extra flavor, add a thin layer of cranberry sauce or cranberry mustard under the turkey.
  • Swap provolone for Swiss or cheddar cheese for a different taste.
  • To make it vegetarian, substitute turkey with grilled vegetables or plant-based deli slices.

Storage

Store leftover sliders in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat individual sliders in the microwave for about 30 seconds or warm in a 350˚F oven for 10 minutes until heated through.

How to Serve

One slider near the center is lifted by a spatula, revealing a thick layer of melted white cheese stretching smoothly between the bun halves, with a layer of light-colored cooked chicken beneath the cheese. The buns have a soft, shiny texture and the chicken layer is slightly visible under the gooey cheese. The dish is on a white marbled surface with a blurred green herb bunch in the background. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I prepare these sliders ahead of time?

Yes, you can assemble the sliders and refrigerate them covered for a few hours before baking. Just add a few extra minutes to the baking time if baking from cold.

What can I use if I don’t have Hawaiian rolls?

Soft dinner rolls or small sandwich buns work well as substitutes, but Hawaiian rolls give a unique sweet flavor that pairs nicely with the savory fillings.

Ingredients

Scale

Sliders

  • 24 Kings Hawaiian Rolls (2 12-pack packages)
  • 1 lb sliced turkey breast
  • 8 oz provolone cheese (12 slices)

Dijon Butter Sauce

  • 1/4 cup butter (melted)
  • 3 tbsp dijon mustard
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 2 tbsp chopped parsley

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375˚F (190˚C) to prepare for baking the sliders.
  2. Prepare the Butter Sauce: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, dijon mustard, sugar, and chopped parsley. Mix well until fully blended to create a flavorful dijon butter sauce.
  3. Assemble the Slider Base: Slice the Kings Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally. Place the bottom halves snugly into a 9×13-inch baking pan, ensuring they fit closely together to hold the fillings.
  4. Add Turkey and Cheese: Evenly layer the sliced turkey breast across the bottom rolls. Then add a layer of provolone cheese slices over the turkey. Place the top half of the rolls over the cheese.
  5. Cut the Sliders: Use a knife to cut between the rolls while still in the pan, making it easier to serve once baked.
  6. Apply the Butter Sauce: Brush the prepared dijon butter sauce generously over the tops of the rolls, making sure to work any extra sauce down between the sliders for flavor throughout.
  7. Bake the Sliders: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the cheese has melted completely. Remove from oven and serve warm.

Notes

  • Use fresh sliced turkey breast for the best flavor, but leftover turkey or deli turkey can also be substituted.
  • For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or use spicy dijon mustard instead.
  • Check halfway through baking to prevent the tops from over-browning; cover loosely with foil if needed.
  • These sliders can be reheated in the oven or microwave, but are best enjoyed fresh for optimal texture.
  • Feel free to add other toppings such as pickles or caramelized onions for extra flavor.
