These smoked turkey sliders are a delicious and easy-to-make snack perfect for gatherings or a casual meal. Packed with smoky turkey, gooey mozzarella, and a flavorful garlic butter glaze, they promise to satisfy every craving.

The image shows a group of nine golden-brown dinner rolls arranged in a close grid on white parchment paper, placed on a white marbled surface. Each roll has a shiny, smooth top sprinkled with small bits of green herbs and minced garlic. The rolls are soft and fluffy with a slightly toasted texture. Inside each roll, there is a layer of melted light-yellow cheese and a round, light brown patty peeking slightly out. The cheese looks gooey and rich, melting slightly over the edges of the patty. The overall appearance is warm, fresh, and appetizing. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

¼ cup Dijon mustard
¼ cup mayonnaise
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp freshly cracked black pepper
12 brioche rolls
12 oz. sliced smoked turkey
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
3 tbsp salted butter
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp chives, chopped

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2: In a small bowl, stir together the Dijon mustard, mayonnaise, lemon juice, and black pepper until well combined.
Step 3: Slice the brioche rolls in half lengthwise, keeping the tops intact. Place the bottom halves on a sheet pan.
Step 4: Spread the mustard mixture evenly over the bottom buns.
Step 5: Arrange the smoked turkey slices over the buns, folding each piece to fit one bun at a time for easier serving.
Step 6: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the turkey.
Step 7: Place the top halves of the buns over the assembled sliders.
Step 8: Melt the butter and stir in the minced garlic and chopped chives. Brush this garlic butter over the tops of the rolls.
Step 9: Cover the sliders with foil and bake on the lowest rack for 15 minutes.
Step 10: Remove the foil, brush another layer of garlic butter on top, and bake uncovered for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted.
Step 11: Serve the sliders immediately and enjoy their warm, savory goodness.

Tips & Variations

For added flavor, try adding a slice of tomato or some crispy bacon inside each slider.
Substitute mozzarella with provolone or cheddar cheese for a different taste.
Use spicy mustard instead of Dijon for a subtle heat kick.
If you prefer a milder flavor, omit the black pepper or adjust to taste.

Storage

Store leftover sliders in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes to melt the cheese and warm the rolls. Avoid microwaving to maintain the bread’s texture.

How to Serve

A batch of eleven soft, golden brown sandwich sliders sits closely together on white parchment paper, placed on a white marbled texture. Each slider is topped with small green herb pieces and bits of garlic. The sandwiches show melted cheese stretching between some of the buns, with gooey yellow cheese oozing out from inside. The buns are shiny and smooth, and you can see layers of cheese and thin slices of meat inside each slider. The sliders are slightly pulled apart at the edges, giving a warm and cheesy look. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I use regular turkey instead of smoked turkey?

Yes, you can substitute smoked turkey with regular deli turkey, but the sliders won’t have the same smoky flavor. Consider adding smoked paprika or liquid smoke for a similar effect.

Can I prepare these sliders ahead of time?

You can assemble the sliders in advance and store them covered in the refrigerator, but it’s best to bake them shortly before serving to enjoy fresh melted cheese and warm bread.
