Introduction

These oven-baked turkey and cheese sliders are perfect for a quick lunch or a crowd-pleasing appetizer. Soft rolls loaded with deli turkey and pepper jack cheese are brushed with a flavorful buttery sauce and baked to golden perfection. They’re easy to make and deliciously satisfying.

The image shows a group of small golden-brown slider buns arranged closely on a piece of parchment paper over a white marbled surface. Each bun has a shiny, smooth top sprinkled with chopped green herbs and small bits of garlic, giving a fresh and savory look. Between the buns, melted cheese is visible, stretching slightly as the buns are pulled apart, showing gooey, creamy texture in a pale yellow color. The buns are round and soft, with slight cracks where they are separated, emphasizing their fluffy interior. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

1 pound freshly sliced deli turkey
12 sliced rolls (dinner rolls or sliders)
8 slices pepper jack cheese
1/2 cup melted butter
3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
Step 2: Cut the dinner rolls in half horizontally without separating them. Place the bottom halves on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 3: Layer half of the turkey evenly over the bottom halves of the rolls. Top with half of the pepper jack cheese, then repeat with the remaining turkey.
Step 4: In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder.
Step 5: Brush the sauce evenly over the tops and sides of the assembled rolls.
Step 6: Cover the rolls with parchment paper or foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the cover and bake for an additional 3-5 minutes, or until golden brown.
Step 7: Let the rolls rest for 2-5 minutes before serving.

Tips & Variations

For extra flavor, spread a thin layer of cream cheese or butter on the bottom halves of the rolls before adding turkey and cheese.
Try using different cheeses like cheddar or Swiss for a new twist.
Add some sliced pickles or caramelized onions inside the sliders for added texture and taste.

Storage

Store leftover sliders in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, cover with foil and warm in a 350°F (175°C) oven for about 10-15 minutes until heated through. Avoid microwaving to keep the rolls from becoming soggy.
