Ingredients

• 1/4 cup plus 2 Tablespoons butter, melted and divided
• 12 slider rolls (or Hawaiian rolls)
• 3/4 pound oven roasted turkey, sliced thin if deli meat or shredded if leftover
• 10 slices provolone cheese
• 1 1/2 Tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1 Tablespoon everything bagel seasoning
• 1/2 Tablespoon packed light brown sugar

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350°F and brush 2 tablespoons of melted butter on the bottom of a rimmed baking sheet.
2. Step 2: Carefully slice the slider rolls in half horizontally using a serrated knife. Place the bottom halves cut side up on the prepared baking sheet.
3. Step 3: Layer half of the turkey slices evenly over the bottom buns without overlapping the edges. Add a layer of provolone cheese over the turkey, then top with the remaining turkey slices. Place the top halves of the buns cut side down over the sliders and press down gently.
4. Step 4: In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 1/4 cup melted butter, Dijon mustard, everything bagel seasoning, and brown sugar. Brush this mixture over the tops of the buns.
5. Step 5: Bake uncovered in the oven for 13-15 minutes, until the tops are golden brown, the cheese has melted, and the bottoms are crispy.
6. Step 6: Remove from the oven, cut the sliders apart, and serve warm.

Tips & Variations

• Use leftover roast turkey for a great way to transform leftovers into a tasty meal.
• Swap provolone cheese for Swiss or mozzarella for a different flavor profile.
• For a spicy kick, add a layer of spicy mustard or a few slices of jalapeño under the cheese.

Storage

Store leftover sliders in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a 350°F oven for about 10 minutes until warmed through and the cheese is melty again. Avoid microwaving to keep the rolls from becoming soggy.

FAQs

Can I prepare these sliders ahead of time?

Yes, you can assemble the sliders a few hours before baking. Cover them tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to bake.

Scale 1x2x3x

Slider Assembly

• 12 slider rolls (or Hawaiian rolls)
• 3/4 pound oven roasted turkey (sliced thin if deli meat, shredded if leftover turkey meat)
• 10 slices provolone cheese

Butter Mixture

• 1/4 cup plus 2 Tablespoons butter (melted and divided)
• 1 1/2 Tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1 Tablespoon everything bagel seasoning
• 1/2 Tablespoon packed light brown sugar

Instructions

1. Preheat and Prepare Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Brush 2 tablespoons of the melted butter evenly on the bottom of a rimmed baking sheet to prevent sticking and add flavor.
2. Slice the Rolls: Using a serrated knife, carefully slice the slider rolls horizontally in half to create top and bottom halves. Arrange the bottom halves cut side up on the prepared baking sheet.
3. Assemble Sliders: Layer half of the turkey slices evenly over the bottom halves of the rolls, covering the surface but not letting the meat hang over the edges. Next, lay the provolone cheese slices on top of the turkey, overlapping as needed. Top with the remaining turkey slices, then place the top halves of the rolls cut side down on the assembled sliders. Press down gently to set everything together.
4. Prepare and Brush Butter Mixture: In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 1/4 cup melted butter, Dijon mustard, everything bagel seasoning, and packed brown sugar until well combined. Generously brush this flavorful butter mixture over the tops of the assembled slider buns.
5. Bake the Sliders: Bake the sliders uncovered in the preheated oven for about 13 to 15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown, the cheese has melted completely, and the bottoms are crisp.
6. Serve: Once baked, carefully cut the sliders apart and serve them warm for a delicious and satisfying meal or appetizer.

Notes

• Use Hawaiian rolls for a sweet and soft texture that complements the savory filling.
• Adjust everything bagel seasoning amount to taste or substitute with sesame seeds, poppy seeds, and dried garlic or onion if unavailable.
• For a spicier kick, consider adding a dash of hot sauce to the butter mixture.
• These sliders can be made ahead, assembled, and refrigerated overnight before baking.
• Leftover sliders can be reheated wrapped in foil to maintain moisture and crispiness.
