Description
Oven-Baked Turkey and Cheese Sliders are soft, warm mini sandwiches filled with sliced turkey and melted cheese, baked together with a buttery topping. They are perfect for parties, snacks, or quick family meals.
Ingredients
Slider Rolls
- 12 slider rolls
Filling
- 12 slices deli turkey
- 6 slices Swiss or cheddar cheese
Topping
- 4 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon poppy seeds
- 1 teaspoon dried onion flakes
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the sliders.
- Prepare the Rolls: Slice the slider rolls in half horizontally and place the bottom halves in a baking dish to form the base layer.
- Add Filling: Layer the deli turkey slices evenly over the bottom halves of the rolls, then add the slices of Swiss or cheddar cheese on top of the turkey.
- Top the Sliders: Place the top halves of the slider rolls over the turkey and cheese layers to complete the sandwiches.
- Make Butter Topping: In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with Dijon mustard, garlic powder, poppy seeds, and dried onion flakes until well combined.
- Brush Topping: Generously brush the butter mixture over the tops of the slider rolls to add flavor and help them brown.
- Bake Covered: Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil to keep the sliders moist and bake for 15 minutes to heat through and melt the cheese.
- Finish Baking: Remove the foil and bake the sliders uncovered for an additional 5 minutes to achieve a golden, slightly crispy top.
- Serve Warm: Remove from oven, slice the sliders if desired, and serve them warm for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- Hawaiian rolls work especially well for a slightly sweet flavor that complements the savory turkey and cheese.
