4.3 from 67 reviews

These Hawaiian Roll Turkey Sliders are warm, cheesy, and bursting with flavor. Perfect for using up leftover turkey, they layer sweet cranberry sauce, spicy pepper jack cheese, tender turkey slices, and creamy avocado on soft, sweet Hawaiian rolls. A garlic-parsley butter glaze ties all the flavors together beautifully, and baking the sliders creates a golden, melty, irresistible snack or meal.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 10 servings

Ingredients

Sliders

  • 1 pack Hawaiian sweet rolls or slider buns, 20 count
  • ½ cup cranberry sauce
  • 10 slices pepper jack cheese, divided
  • 10 slices leftover turkey slices or deli turkey
  • 2 large ripe avocados, sliced (optional)

Garlic-Parsley Butter Glaze

  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
  • 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s at the perfect temperature for baking the sliders evenly and melting the cheese.
  2. Prepare the buns: Slice the Hawaiian sweet rolls horizontally, separating the tops from the bottoms. Place the bottom halves on a baking tray to build the sliders.
  3. Assemble the sliders: Spread cranberry sauce evenly over the bottom buns, then layer with 5 slices of pepper jack cheese. Add the deli turkey slices on top, followed by the remaining 5 slices of cheese and optionally sliced avocado for creaminess.
  4. Add the tops: Place the top halves of the buns back on each slider, completing the sandwich layers.
  5. Make the butter glaze: In a small bowl, combine melted unsalted butter with chopped parsley, minced garlic, salt, and ground pepper. Mix well to infuse the flavors.
  6. Glaze the sliders: Drizzle the garlic-parsley butter mixture evenly over the assembled sliders, ensuring each bun top is coated for maximum flavor and browning.
  7. Bake covered: Cover the baking tray with aluminum foil to keep the sliders moist and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, allowing the cheese to melt and the buns to turn golden.
  8. Rest and serve: Let the sliders rest for 5-10 minutes once out of the oven to set the fillings before slicing and serving warm.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, consider adding a slice of crispy bacon inside each slider.
  • If you prefer a little heat, substitute pepper jack cheese with a spicy variety or add a dash of hot sauce.
  • Avocado is optional but adds creaminess and freshness to the sliders.
  • Use aluminum foil to cover the sliders while baking to prevent the tops from browning too quickly and keep them moist.
  • Leftover sliders can be wrapped tightly and refrigerated for up to 2 days; reheat covered in the oven to retain softness.
