One slider is being lifted with a spatula, revealing three visible layers inside: the top golden bun, a thick middle layer of melted, stretchy white cheese, and the bottom golden bun with bits of chicken mixed with sauce that looks creamy and slightly yellow.

Ingredients

  • 24 Kings 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.
  2. Step 2: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, Dijon mustard, sugar, and chopped parsley. Mix well to create the sauce.
  3. Step 3: Slice the Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally. Place the bottom halves snugly in a 9×13-inch baking pan.
  4. Step 4: Evenly layer the sliced turkey and provolone cheese over the bottom halves of the rolls. Then place the top halves back on. Use a knife to gently cut between each slider to separate them.
  5. Step 5: Brush the butter-Dijon sauce generously over the tops of the rolls, making sure to work any extra sauce down between the sliders.
  6. Step 6: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the cheese has melted. Serve warm and enjoy!

Tips & Variations

  • For added flavor, try adding a slice of tomato or a bit of cranberry sauce to each slider before baking.
  • Substitute provolone with Swiss or cheddar cheese for a different twist.
  • Use leftover turkey or substitute with ham or roast beef if preferred.
  • To make these sliders spicier, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the butter sauce.

Storage

Store leftover sliders in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350˚F for about 10 minutes or until warmed through to keep the bread soft and cheese melted. Avoid microwaving if possible to prevent sogginess.

  • 1/4 cup butter, melted
  • 3 tbsp Dijon mustard
